Fresh Produce Retailers compete for the 2019 Awards in Excellence

The 2019 Market City Ball and 30th Anniversary and WA Fresh Produce Retailer of the Year Awards were celebrated at the Crown Ballroom on Friday 2nd August. This prestigious event has been running for 17 consecutive years and is an initiative of Market West and supported by Perth Markets Limited, Market City.

The Fresh Produce Industry is a key component of the ongoing search for a healthy lifestyle. Industry stakeholders joined together to acknowledge their peers and their vital role in the community and the wider agricultural landscape.

The awards are open to all retailers including independent retailers, small stores and supermarket chains. Stores can nominate and be judged across a range of stringent criteria in eight award categories.

Almost 600 people enjoyed a sumptuous 3 course meal while the winners were announced and the festivities included local versatile musician Courtney Murphy, breathtaking aerialists ‘Faerial’ high above the crowd and finished off with Bump 40/40 keeping everyone on the dance floor.
