Engineering consultants win multiple business awards

ENGINEERING and environmental consultancy McGloin Baker has been named Business of the Year at the Tweed Business Awards, in a night that saw 500 people pack the Seagulls Club to celebrate local success.

The Cabarita-based business is run by directors Paul Baker and Ben McGloin, with a small team providing advisory and management services in the construction industry.

The pair won multiple awards on the night, including Excellence in Small Business, Employer of Choice and Excellence in Business & Professional Services. Each also took out an award in the outstanding leader category.

The event, hosted by the Tweed Business Chamber, recognised more than 30 award winners.

“These awards are a celebration of everything that makes doing business in the Tweed so special,” Tweed Business Chamber president Col Usher said.

“Our region is full of passionate, driven people who are doing incredible things in their industries and for our community.”

The awards saw 223 businesses compete across 28 categories, with strong representation from across the shire.

Winners progress to the NSW Regional Awards before the national Telstra Best of Business Awards.

“Tonight was about shining a light on their success stories, and there were plenty of them,” events manager Julie West said.

“This year’s Tweed Business Awards have once again proven just how strong and connected our local business community is.”
