The Daroo Business Awards returned in 2021 for their 21st anniversary, after being cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Cabonne community has adapted wonderfully, with the entire awards platform taken online this year in order to overcome COVID-19 restrictions. The Daroo Business Award Committee were pleased to see a total of 151 nominations across the 17 award categories.
After the online voting process, where 1,760 voting forms were received, 36 finalists were chosen for the 14 popular-vote categories. Thirteen finalists were selected for the external judging categories.
In an exciting evening on Friday, 5 November, at the Canowindra Services and Citizens Club, the award winners were announced, with Yates Baker McLean taking out the coveted Best Business in Cabonne award.
Chloe Jones, from Cabonne Council, took out the Employee of the Year award, while Holly Klein from Freemasons Hotel took out the Apprentice/Trainee of the Year award.
