Whittlesea resident Belinda Giardino has been announced as a finalist for a second year running in the City of Whittlesea Business Awards.
This year, Belinda’s business A Grade Resumes has been nominated in the new category of ‘Home Based Business.’ In 2023, in what was the council’s first ever awards, her business was a finalist in the ‘Community Contribution’ category.
Belinda, a qualified journalist and mother of two, said the news was a surprise.
“I am so honoured to become a finalist again. This category really encompasses all of the awards into one. It is lovely to be recognised for the work I have been doing,” Ms Giardino said.
The new category of HomeBased Business recognises individuals and businesses that have not only embraced the unique challenges of operating from home but have also excelled in various aspects– such as innovation, community contribution, customer service, sustainability, and diversity.
The other finalists this year in the Home-based Business category include ‘Always Time for Cake,’ ‘Premier Project Management’ and Amy Bajada.
The awards presentations will be held at Mantra Epping on Thursday May 23. There are six categories including Community Contribution, Customer Service, Innovation and Enterprise, Sustainability and Environment, and Workplace Diversity.
An overall winner from the six categories will be named the City of Whittlesea 2024 Business of the Year.
