2021 IMB BANK
ILLAWARRA BUSINESS AWARDS 

Blooming in Business

We have been privileged to serve the business community of the Illawarra through an exceptionally challenging couple of years, and it has been our great pleasure to showcase the best in business during our 27th year of celebrating excellence at the 2021 IMB Bank Illawarra Business Awards. 

Our ‘Blooming in Business’ themed awards ceremony recognised the inspiring businesses who found new and innovative opportunities to grow and flourish, despite the challenges of the global pandemic and related lockdowns, and we were proud to celebrate the vibrancy and diversity of talent in our business community. 

AN INSPIRATIONAL BUNCH

2021's award winners are an inspiring group of businesses and individuals who all have their own unique stories to tell. We see a bright future ahead for our business community, and our winners reflect the kind of excellence and business leadership that will drive us forward as a region.

Congratulations to all category winners and highly commended recipients, and thank you to everyone involved in bringing together our 2021 awards program.
