EVERY year since the early 1990s, the Shepparton Chamber of Commerce & Industry has facilitated the region’s premier business awards to pay recognition to local businesses and individuals that demonstrate excellence in their fields (excluding the Covid years of 2020 & 2021). Since 2007, 13 recipients have been added to the business award’s Hall of Fame.
The awards have not been able to go ahead since 2020, meaning this year Shepparton Chamber of Commerce & Industry will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the awards, making now the opportune time to acknowledge previous Hall of Fame recipients, those many long-standing businesses from around the region that have contributed greatly to the Shepparton we know and love.
