Celebrating business excellence

LBW Business + Wealth Advisors’ passion for helping local businesses thrive runs deep.

For more than 30 years, the business has stood shoulder to shoulder with the Geelong business community, championing growth, celebrating achievements and investing in the success of our region.

This year marks LBW’s sixth consecutive year as the major sponsor of the Geelong Business Excellence Awards (GBEAs). Its commitment to these awards reflects its belief in the power of local business, not just as clients, but as the backbone of a vibrant and resilient community.

The GBEAs offers more than just a night of accolades. With 20 diverse categories recognising small, medium and large enterprises, as well as individual business leaders and innovators, the awards represent a meaningful benchmark for success.

LBW encourages entrants to use the process as a chance for self-reflection, reviewing what works, identifying new opportunities, and celebrating the milestones already achieved.

As sponsor and judge, LBW has been privileged to witness how this process ignites momentum. Many businesses find that the act of writing the entry becomes a catalyst for refining strategy, strengthening operations or clarifying their purpose and vision.

This year, the awards evening will be held for the first time at the Geelong Arts Centre, a bold and fitting new setting for such a celebration.

The arts centre, now Australia’s largest regional arts venue, sits in Geelong’s cultural heart and beautifully combines historic character with contemporary design.

Its recent redevelopment has created inspiring, flexible spaces that host world-class performances, community events and artistic experiences. LBW is excited to bring business, community and culture together under its roof.

When businesses are named as finalists or winners, it does more than acknowledge excellence. It amplifies visibility, builds credibility and opens doors to new opportunities and partnerships in our region.

LBW truly believes that when local businesses succeed, the whole community prospers. It is proud to continue standing with the Geelong Chamber of Commerce, the nominees, and our region’s entrepreneurs and leaders in celebrating the very best of Geelong.

We look forward to celebrating together on October 30 at the Geelong Arts Centre.

Here’s to another year of recognising the vision, grit and brilliance that make Geelong such an inspiring place to live, work and connect.
