Innovation, entrepreneurialism and great Aussie service have been the backbone of this country’s economic development for many years. The role of small businesses in Australia deserves to be championed and promoted, so that they are fully recognised for their contribution to the nation.

That’s why we’re proud to be the major sponsor of the 2008 Australian Small Business Champion Awards.

The Awards are an opportunity to reflect on your business and discover how it compares to the competition. They’re also a great way to meet and learn from other business owners in your area and perhaps earn a little free publicity along the way.

Last year’s Awards were an enormous success. Now we’re looking forward to an even bigger and better 2008. I encourage you to take part by getting your entry in as soon as possible. And I hope to see you at the presentation evening in your state.

level with the introduction of individual State and Territory Awards program.

By entering the Awards it will provide you with exposure and acknowledgement of the commitment required to succeed in small business.

I would like to thank the Minister, The Hon. Fran Bailey MP for her support as Patron for the Awards, our major sponsors the Commonwealth Bank Local Business Banking and the Australian Government, associate sponsors PKF Chartered Accountants, CPA Australia,
