Now in their seventh year, the awards recognise excellence in business, leadership, entrepreneurship, sustainability, innovation, business growth and employment practices across the area from Forster Tuncurry to Woolgoolga.
The awards include winners from MidCoast Business Awards, Greater Port Macquarie Business Awards, Macleay Valley Business Awards, and the Coffs Harbour Chamber Sunnys Business Awards.
Winners will be announced at the Mid North Coast gala evening on Friday September 13 at Sails Port Macquarie by Rydges.
Awards organisers encourage businesses and individuals to purchase tickets as the gala evening is a fantastic opportunity to network with like-minded individuals while celebrating local business excellence.
Mid North Coast NSW Business Chamber regional manager, Kellon Beard, said "this year's finalists represent a fantastic cross-section of businesses from right across the Mid North Coast.
"These awards are a wonderful opportunity to showcase the strength of Mid North Coast businesses. It's been a tough year for many businesses due to the ongoing drought, so it will be great to celebrate and highlight the excellence of our local business community."
Two Tails Wines from Nana Glen was named 2018 Mid North Coast NSW Business of the Year. Two Tails Wines is an award winning family owned boutique vineyard located in the village of Nana Glen, west of Coffs Harbour.
Winners of the 2019 Mid North Coast Regional Business Awards will represent the region at NSW Business Chamber's State Business Awards, to be held on November 22 at the International Convention Centre in Sydney.
"Based on the calibre of this year's finalists, I expect that our regional winners will again do very well at the NSW Business Chamber State Awards this year," Mr Beard said.
