Thursday 31 October 2019: Queenslanders are urged to get behind local small and medium businesses, charities and social enterprises, and cast their votes in the 2019 Telstra Business People’s Choice Award.
Four local businesses are up for the Award and vying for the support of locals:

Telstra Group Executive, Consumer & Small Business, Michael Ackland, encouraged Queensland locals to have their say and vote for Australia’s best business.
“Behind each local Queensland business are people who day-in and day-out dedicate their lives to bringing us the services that we need. They inspire us with their resilience, courage and incredible commitment to business. They deserve our support,” he said.
“Through the People’s Choice Award, we’re giving everyone the chance to get behind some of the best local businesses and give them recognition on a national level.”
The 2019 Telstra Business Awards are an exclusive platform that recognise Australia’s best businesses, provide expert advice and help them gain the credibility to unlock new opportunities.
