2022 IMB BANK
ILLAWARRA BUSINESS AWARDS 

La Dolce Vita

The 2022 IMB Bank Illawarra Business Awards embraced La Dolce Vita, bringing the essence of 'the sweet life' and a taste of the picturesque Amalfi Coast to the shores of the Illawarra. 

In what was another challenging 12 months for businesses across the region, we found it more important than ever to share the stories of businesses finding new and innovative paths to success, and to recognise the hard work of the many dedicated staff who have supported businesses through thick and thin.

ILLAWARRA'S SWEET LIFE

Our finalists this year have shown the Illawarra community how fortunate we all are to have such a talented pool of individuals driving the fortunes of our local economy forward.

The region’s prospects across an expanding range of sectors – and in small and medium enterprise particularly – are thriving, and our 2022 winners are a showcase of the many businesses grasping those opportunities.
