Peppermint IT named Winner at the 2025 Australian Women’s Small Business

Champion Awards

Peppermint IT, from North Sydney, has been revealed as the Champion in the Information Technology category for the 2025 Australian Women’s Small Business Champion Awards.

Serving as the nation’s biggest celebration of women in small business, the National Presentation Evening was held at The Fullerton Hotel, Sydney, on Saturday 15th November 2025. Peppermint IT received a Champions trophy, winners’ certificate and well-deserved critical acclaim from peers as a nationally recognised industry leader.

Renowned as the ‘Oscars of Australian small business’, the red-carpet event was hosted by Nine News and TODAY show journalist, Jayne Azzopardi, and attended by women in small business, dignitaries and supporters from across the country.

The Australian Women’s Small Business Champion Awards were specifically created to recognise hard-working women from across the country who contribute to the economic, cultural and social contributions of female-led small businesses. This year’s awards attracted record entries with thousands of submissions received, spanning well over 65 categories in retail, services and manufacturing industries.

Peppermint IT scored the topmost result in the Information Technology category, comprehensively adjudicated by an independent expert panel that considered various aspects of small business operations – including each entrant’s strategies, growth plans, financial performance, eco-friendliness, innovation, customer service quality and community support – to name but some of the judging criteria.

“Being selected as a Champion of this major program from a national entrant pool of thousands speaks volumes of the tenacity and leadership at Peppermint IT,” said Steve Loe, Awards Founder and Managing Director of Precedent Productions, who manages the Australian Women’s Small Business Champion Awards.
