The Liquor Stores Association of Western Australia (LSA WA) will hold its 28th annual Liquor Industry Awards on 13 October at the Hyatt Regency in Perth.
The venue is undergoing major renovations and it’s going to have a different vibe and feel just in time for what is commonly known as the mecca of the WA liquor industry.
Sponsored by Lion, the LSA WA Liquor Industry Awards provide an opportunity to recognise the state’s best retailers, sales representatives, and suppliers.
It is also a forum for industry members to connect with significant members of parliament, with the Minister for Racing and Gaming, Reece Whitby, having already confirmed his attendance.
Peter Peck, CEO, LSA WA, said the most important aspect of the evening is to celebrate people from within the industry, who are not just excelling in their roles, but are also making an impact within their local communities.
“The Liquor Industry Awards are a great time for us all to come together, share stories, meet up with old friends, make new friends, and recognise the people within our industry who have gone above and beyond, and earned the respect of their peers,” he says.
“We recognise individuals and groups who have a social conscience and knuckle down to make sure that we are part of a cohesive community.
“It’s not just about recognising the work that people are doing in-store, but also celebrating the good that they do within their communities – because these are the acts that very rarely is front page news.
“Ninety-nine per cent of the time, our members are a part of the communities in which they operate and are always there to support local community clubs or local fundraising appeals, and this deserves to be celebrated.”
