Showcasing achievement: WSABE 2021 celebrates hope, resilience

LUKE MAGEE
PARRAMATTA Chamber of Commerce proudly founded the Western Sydney Awards for Business Excellence in 1990, affectionately known as WSABE.
On Wednesday, November 24, 2021, nearly 700 guests gathered at ATC, Rosehill Gardens to celebrate business excellence in the region.
 
After what has been the most challenging period of our working lives, guests flowed, immaculately dressed in theme ‘Back in Black’ with a touch of gold celebrating hope and resilience.
 
The resilience of the business community in Western Sydney is second to none. The vibe in the room that night was full of support and celebration. The gala evening was perfectly balanced with exceptional food and hospitality, entertainment and award presentations.
 
2021 WSABE winners were announced across twenty dynamic award categories recognising excellence across a broad range of industries and fields.
 
The ambience in the room was electric and what stood out was the sense of pride the business community in Western Sydney represents. Government recognition and engagement further added endorsement to the celebration.
Parramatta Chamber is beyond proud to have delivered the 31st Annual WSABE awards.
 
Despite all the challenges we were committed to delivering a safe event and bring the community back to doing what they do best. 
 
Networking, making new connections and recognising and celebrating each other’s achievements. 
 
The WSABE also extends their congratulations to all winners and finalists, who showcased their ability to adapt and endure under challenging circumstances and were able to separate themselves in what was one of the platform’s most competitive years.
 
Support acknowledged
 
The WSABE would like to acknowledge the ongoing support of the WSABE Alliance, who enabled WSABE to engage with businesses from more than 150 postcodes across the entire Greater Western Sydney region and of course our judging panel for their time and expertise made up of industry experts in their respective fields.
 
The complexity that goes into running an awards program like WSABE is unique. It is not a popularity contest. Since its inception in 1990, WSABE’s point of difference has always been it’s a credible, prestigious platform with a lengthy program and has acted as a launching pad for many of Western Sydney’s high-profile businesses and professionals.
 
In wrapping up WSABE 2021, we would like to extend their sincere gratitude to Principal Partner, Commonwealth Bank and Major Sponsor, City of Parramatta. Including our Category Sponsors: AAA City Removalist, The Alternative Board, The Australian Turf Club, Business NSW, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, DOOLEYS Lidcombe Catholic Club, EN-LINC, HomeWorld Group of Companies, Parra Leagues, Parramatta Light Rail, UNE Sydney, and Wenty Leagues.
 
Western Sydney Business Access (WSBA) and sister publication, Parramatta Times are media partners for WSABE.
