FDPI Spares & Maintenance has been named as the Business of the Year at the Powercor Warrnambool Business Excellence Awards Presentation Gala.
The awards, held on Friday October 31 at the Lighthouse Theatre, recognised the outstanding achievements of 26 businesses and individuals across 15 categories.
FDPI Spares & Maintenance has achieved incredible growth in a highly specialised field while maintaining the highest standards of customer service.
The company specialises in locating parts and offering precise installation, maintenance and repairs for the beverage, food, dairy, and chemical processing industries and has grown to service Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Queensland.
The win builds on the business’ Highly Commended accolade in the New Business/New Owner (Under 5 Years) category in 2013.
Warrnambool City Council Economic Development & Grants Officer Annabel Cussen said the award ceremony was an opportunity for the business community to come together and recognise business excellence.
“The Warrnambool business community works incredibly hard all year, so it is nice to be able to acknowledge the achievements of local businesses and business people,” Ms Cussen said.
“I would like to thank all of the businesses involved in this year’s awards; particularly the category sponsors and all businesses that nominated.”
The 2014 Powercor Warrnambool Business Excellence Awards are presented by the Warrnambool City Council and 3YB/COAST FM.
