6 March 2023.

Mark Pitt, Chair of the Rotary Satellite Club of Kingaroy Sunrise is pleased to announce the first sponsors of the inaugural South Burnett Training Awards in April 2023.

“It’s great to see the interest from the business community and very heartening, and we are so pleased to be partnering with ATC Engineers who recognise the amazing work being done throughout the South Burnett by apprentices and trainees. They are particularly amazed at the work of those who have difficulties to overcome, and will be sponsoring the Equity Award,” he said.

The South Burnett Training Awards will be held on 1 April to celebrate the work the business community has been doing with their apprentices and trainees, and to celebrate small business in our region, who employ less than 19 full time equivalent staff.

“Tickets are now available, and we’ve kept the price affordable at just $30, which includes individual grazing packs and great music, thanks to the sponsorship of Misfitz Duo, who will be playing on the night.” Mr Pitt added, “together with a thank you to Cr Danita Potter for funding the hall hire, Schuey Bros Drilling, and website design, ticketing and media preparation by LG Media Services.”

Nominations are now open to residents of the South Burnett Region, and we hope to have more great sponsorship announcements to make soon.
