Announcing... the Best Businesses in Australia for 2012

We're very excited to be announcing the Best Australian Businesses for 2012 - as decided by real customers!  The WOMO Best Business Awards are the only business awards where real customers determine which businesses deserve recognition (we don't believe that a fancy application warrants an award).  Everyone knows that word-of-mouth is the best way to find great businesses - so it makes sense to reward and recognise the businesses that customers like best.

Every business that receives a Best Business Award is to be congratulated for providing consistently high service - so much so that their customers feel motivated to share their experiences in a review.

We'll be announcing the winners category by category, but so far, the best businesses for 2012 are:
