The Governor of Victoria Export Awards has been running for 30 years and showcases the truly remarkable achievements of Victoria's export sector.
Recipients of these major awards add value to their business by giving them a competitive advantage and virtual passport to overseas markets, increasing respect within their industry, raising awareness of their company and their products, and promoting company pride.
Winners of the 2009 Governor of Victoria Export Awards were recognised at a ceremony held at Government House on Wednesday, 21 October 2009. These same winners automatically progress as national finalists to the 2009 Australian Export Awards which will be presented at a prestigious Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony on Friday 20 November in the Great Hall, Parliament House, Canberra. The Prime Minister’s Australian Exporter of the Year will be selected by the Prime Minister from the 12 national award winners.
