27/03/2024
The City of Norwood Payneham & St Peter’s Eastside Business Awards continue to gain significance and momentum and 2024 is proving to be another resounding success with a record number of local businesses nominated.
Today the finalists were announced with some familiar names such as Cheeky Grin Coffee, Mary MacKillop Museum, The Colonist and Reform Distilling making the short-list in their respective categories. While eight businesses have been named a finalist for the first time, including JAKS Hire & Events, Merlin Post Productions and Physio Smart.
Mayor Robert Bria said this year the Council wanted to recognise those businesses that had been identified as a winner three times in the same category by creating a Legends Category. Those businesses that have historically been successful in winning a category three times will be recognised as Legends at the Awards Night.
“To be an Eastside Business Award winner or finalist, shows that a business has had lasting impact not only on an individual, but also the wider community, and that is something to be immensely proud of,” Mayor Bria said.
“It’s exciting to be able to announce a new Hall of Fame recipient as well as a number of businesses who will be elevated to legendary status,” Mayor Bria said.
Last year’s Hall of Fame winner was family owned and operated, Gelato Bello, located in Glynde.
Since being honoured with the Hall of Fame crown, Gelato Bello has been a featured at many Council and community events.
“Owner Marcus Nardone and his family are examples of how hard work, customer loyalty and producing a quality product - in this case some of the finest Italian gelato in South Australia – is a tried and true recipe for success,” Mayor Bria said.
“The Council is constantly thinking outside the square when it comes to supporting our local food, wine and manufacturing industries and the Eastside Business Awards are the perfect way to help those businesses to be recognised as some of the best food and beverage manufacturers in South Australia.
To be crowned the Hall of Fame winner a business must have operated within the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters for more than 20 years.
The 2024 Hall of Fame winner will be announced at the Awards ceremony, which is being held at the Norwood Concert Hall on 23 April 2024.
