I was delighted to present the award for Business of the Year at the 2026 Inner West Local Business Awards to Marrickville based Sydney Prop Specialists. This is a significant and well-earned achievement that recognises not only business excellence, but a long-standing contribution to Sydney's creative and events industries. Established in the early 1980s, Sydney Prop Specialists has grown from modest beginnings into a leading force in the events and creative production sector. Owner Greg Hancock, whose leadership and vision have guided the business for more than three decades, along with his dedicated team, have built an outstanding business that is deeply respected across the industry. Sydney Prop Specialists has developed a strong reputation as a leader in event styling, prop hire and set design. From corporate events and exhibitions to film, television and large-scale productions, the team plays a vital role in bringing creative visions to life across Sydney and beyond. Their success reflects years of innovation, resilience and passion, as well as the trust they have earned from clients, peers and the wider community. Congratulations Greg and the team on this outstanding and well-deserved achievement!
