Local business is the lifeblood of all Sydney communities. It provides jobs, vital products and services and its diversity brings energy to the local community.

Without the efforts of hardworking local business owners and employees, Sydney would be a very different place. Rarely are these dedicated operators publicly acknowledged for their outstanding efforts.

For the past 14 years, Cumberland Courier Newspapers have proudly celebrated the achievements of local business through award recognition. In 2007 alone we received over 70,000 nominations.

This year the awards program warmly welcomes Vodafone as our principal program partner and CPA as a bronze sponsor.

Returning to us is the NSW Department of State and Regional Development, MYOB, Truelocal and of course 2GB.

Cumberland Courier Newspapers holds the True Local Business Awards for 19 regions across Sydney and the Central Coast. Our aim is to acknowledge and celebrate the success of businesses in their local communities. The program unites the local community, and in recognising the success and potential of local businesses, encourages community growth and development.

This year the awards presentation will be brighter than ever, with a high-profile MC, great entertainment, fantastic prizes for winners and fun for all - making it a night not to be missed! The 2008 True Local Business Awards are set to be the most exciting and successful awards yet. Cumberland Courier Newspapers looks forward to sharing this with you.
