"It means the world to me," Ms Fatouros said.

"It's good to see that all the effort we put in paid off and the local support that we've got is just amazing.

"We want to thank everyone for their continued support and the community in Goulburn is amazing."

A lot of businesses found things difficult during lockdown, just like K and G'z did, but they were quite lucky because they were able to keep their drive through service open.

The awards were held online this year and attracted over 90 attendees, with more watching the livestream on Facebook.

During the evening, there were also a number of prize giveaways including $5000 worth of Shop2580 gift cards which will be a great boost for the local businesses involved in the program as they begin to reopen and circulate that money back through the local community.

Also involved was the Governor General, His Excellency David Hurley AC DSC (Retd), who sent through a message of support.

"I would like to recognise the work of the Goulburn Chamber of Commerce in supporting all local businesses through these challenging times," he said.

"As tonight and other initiatives like the "Shop Local 2580" gift card demonstrate, the chamber is adaptable, resilient and innovative.

"In that sense, they're both leaders and reflect the traits of the community that they serve."

Local business owner and ex-Olympian Glenn Turner was the guest speaker for the night.

He reflected on his experience as an elite athlete and coach and how learned to turn setbacks and failure into motivation.
