More than 400 people attended the 2002 Federation Health Gippsland Business Awards Dinner, where local businesses and industry came together to showcase what Gippsland has to offer.

Businesses were judged on key elements such as uniqueness, innovation and use of Gippsland resources and community involvement.

The awards also introduced many new categories, which included Environmental Performance, Manufacturing/Export, Primary Producer, Retailing, Accommodation, Hospitality, Commerce/ Information Communications Technology, New Business and Tourism.

There was an excellent response to the awards with nominees coming from all over Gippsland and from a wide range of industries.
