Oshawa Centre representatives at the 2017 Greater Oshawa Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards
Leading the way in nominations are Alary Technologies, with four nods, and Biltmore Theatre, which received three, as the Greater Oshawa Chamber of Commerce unveils the nominee shortlist for the 2025 Business Excellence Awards.
This annual event honors businesses and individuals who significantly contribute to Oshawa’s growth and innovation.
This year saw a surge in submissions, resulting in up to 30 nominations across several categories. This reflects the “strong entrepreneurial spirit” present within the Oshawa business community, according to a news release from the chamber. To maintain a fair selection process, judges from outside Durham Region evaluated all entries.
“I continue to be inspired and energized by the passion and commitment that Oshawa’s business community displays,” said Isabelle Foley, Executive Director of the Greater Oshawa Chamber of Commerce. “This outstanding group of organizations and business leaders helps drive the success of our city with their innovation, resilience, and commitment to building community prosperity.”
Alary Technologies is nominated for Excellence in Business (1-30 employees), Innovation in Business, Sustainability, and Intrapreneur of the Year. In this category, Business Development Strategist Ted Peters will compete against Nicole Benedetto (The Local Buzz/Addison Marketing Solutions).
Biltmore Theatre was a double winner last year and has nominations this time for three categories: Business Person of the Year (Diana Cerovich), Excellence in Business (1-30 employees), and Tourism Operator.
