The Ingram family were the proud recipients of the 2019 East Gippsland Shire Council Special Recognition Award.

This award was introduced for the first time in 2017 in recognition, by the East Gippsland Shire Council, of an individual or family who has made a significant and sustained contribution to the economy of East Gippsland. The East Gippsland Business Awards celebrate excellence in business and while the recipient of the Special Recongintion Award is not necessarily associated with any business that has entered the Awards, the gala ceremony represents an approprioate opportunity to recognise a specific individual or family who best fits the criteria for this new Award.
