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.
