Tzaneen Chamber hosts Annual Prestige Awards
Local business owners were showered with praise last Friday at the Chamber of Commerce's Annual Prestige Awards lunch. The event was held at the Hotel@Tzaneen and was sponsored by ABSA.
Elma Steyn who was speaking on behalf of ABSA made mention of the growth that ABSA has been making since it moved from Barclay’s Ltd to ABSA Ltd and that the move inspired the change of logo.
She also stated that the growth shows positivity and a strong team working base to ensure that people still receive quality assistance and that it will hopefully bring more fruitful changes in the near future.
Eco Choice Delicacies and Pest Control Specialists received Merit Certificates of appreciation for sponsoring the guest speaker hampers for the chamber luncheons.
