BBP congratulates long term North Sydney BBP member and runner-up in the 2021 Better Business Awards Pubs, Clubs, Leisure and Fitness category eco-kayak tour business Sydney by Kayak for winning a couple of amazing awards recently.  The first gong goes to energetic co-founder and small business woman (as well as super-mum to two young children) Laura Stone who recently was named the Business Person of the Year in the local North Shore Business Awards.  Laura says “being a Mum and a small business owner, it is important to me to educate our next generation on the importance of preserving our environment and assisting in the regeneration of local habitats and endangered marine life.”  Sydney by Kayak certainly punch above their weight for a small business in doing everything they can to look after their local marine environment of Sydney Harbour.  They donate a percentage of every tour sold towards environmental projects.   Currently, they are in the process of raising funds for a Living Seawall Project to be installed in Lavender Bay to support the marine flora and fauna.
