Captain Zap Electricians has won the 2024 Australian Small Business Champion Awards.

Announced winner of the Electrical Business category at the Awards’ National Presentation Evening Gala at Sydney’s The Star on 12 April 2024, Captain Zap Electricians was presented with a customised statuette trophy and certificate and gained invaluable kudos as a nationally recognised industry leader.

Awards founder and Precedent Productions managing director Steve Loe (who coordinates the Australian Small Business Champion Awards) says this year’s Awards saw over 5,500 small business submissions from across all demographics in every Australian state and territory.

“We’ve been running the Champion Awards programme since 1999 and I must say, this year’s submissions were particularly inspiring and spoke volumes of the resilience of small business operators during tough times, including those in cities as well as rural, regional and suburban towns,” he says.

“Operating a small business today requires steadfast commitment, leadership, savviness, creativity, people skills, vision, social consciousness and a spirited drive, all elements of success that our independent judging panel pinpointed as among the key reasons for their selection of Captain Zap Electricians as 2024 sole Champion of the Electrical Business category.”

Hosted by popular Nine presenter and journalist Jayne Azzopardi and attended by more than 1000 small businesspeople, this year’s National Presentation Gala featured star-studded entertainment fitting to the Champion Awards’ biggest year in more than a quarter of a century. Dami Im, Harrison Craig, Johnny Manuel and Stefanie Jones were among the red-carpet event’s headline stage acts.
