The Orana has been showcased in the 2019 Western NSW Regional Business Awards, with 16
businesses from the region named as finalists in the
upcoming event.
RDA
Orana Director of Regional Development Megan Dixon was pleased with the
recognition which celebrates business excellence in western NSW.
“The
exposure that a business receives through these awards is important for their
future development and success,” Mrs Dixon said.
“Particularly
at a time when communities in western NSW have been impacted by drought, this
gives investors confidence in their strength and resilience.
“Recognising
and celebrating business excellence is a really important aspect of social and
economic development.”
