Capturing the essence of Unley

The inaugural City of Unley Business Awards Ceremony was a great evening that captured the essence of Unley’s thriving business community.

The night was all about recognising businesses which demonstrated leadership, innovation and engagement with the community.

Hosted by Nova FM presenter Stacey Lee and special guest speaker, Australian of the Year Tim Jarvis AM, attendees experienced a night of inspiration, connection and laughter at Unley Oval’s Community Hub as business leaders, community members and sponsors honoured finalists and winners.

The awards competition saw over 200 nominations showcasing local businesses.

Sam Mingoia took home the Business Community Leader Award for work with the King William Road Traders Association. His marketing efforts helped revitalise the precinct.

Better Together Pre-Loved Fashion won the Leader in Sustainability and Environment award, with owner Eden’s commitment to circular fashion and sustainability.

Lymph Movement Studio received the Leader in Transformation, Innovation & Growth Award for their revolutionary approach to wellness.

Community favourite was Custom Podiatry Services, earning the People’s Choice Award for their dedication to patient care.

The City of Unley congratulated all the winners and finalists for their dedication to excellence. These businesses all demonstrated sustainability, innovation, and a genuine connection to the people they serve.

Beyond an awards ceremony, the occasion was a celebration of Unley’s vibrant, resilient, and innovative business community.

Award presentations such as this, Unley’s first, are seldom possible without the support of sponsors, and Mayor Michael Hewitson thanked all the local companies and individuals who contributed to a highly successful event.
