Last night (6 May) we held our annual Pride of Workmanship Awards night. The night recognised outstanding employees of local businesses for their service and commitment to their work and the people around them.

Special guests for the evening were Latrobe City Mayor and Councillor Dale Harriman, GRAC Health and Wellbeing coordinator Andrew Crozier, and Breastscreen Victoria Program Manager Kelly Giersch.

A special thanks to all the wonderful recipients of awards and to all those who nominated them from their businesses. The photos below show the awardees receiving their awards on the night. Congratulations to all.

We would also like to extend our sincerest thanks to the Latrobe City Council for awarding us a grant to help make the evening happen.
