The third edition of the Cairns Business Excellence Awards brought to you by James Cook University will continue to be the region’s leading honours for business achievement. The event will be held on Saturday 15 June 2019 at the Pullman Cairns International.
During the past two years, the outstanding achievements of a wide range of organisations and individuals have been acknowledged, regardless of size or industry. To attain recognition, organisations and individuals are assessed across a set of criteria that underscore commitment to not only sustaining bottom line results, but to superiority of service, commitment to customers, ethical behaviour and environmental sustainability.
The ten awards showcase business excellence and acknowledge outstanding business practices and contributions to our community in the Cairns region. This year there will be 8 awards for organisations and 2 awards for individuals.
