Associate Professor Bob O’Shea, the Executive Dean of Federation Business School, said the Gippsland Business Awards are an important part of that capacity building process.
“They celebrate the diversity of our thriving business community and showcase creativity and enterprise. They are a valuable tool to promote business success and publically recognise exceptional achievement.”
