The Greater Shepparton Business Network (GSBN) is proud to announce the Shepparton Club as the Naming Rights Sponsor for the 2026 Greater Shepparton Business Excellence Awards — now proudly presented as the Greater Shepparton Business Excellence Awards brought to you by Shepparton Club.
The Business Excellence Awards celebrate the innovation, resilience, and success of businesses across the Greater Shepparton region, recognising outstanding contributions that continue to strengthen and support the local economy and community. This partnership reflects a strong alignment between two organisations committed to fostering connection, encouraging achievement, and celebrating excellence across the region.
