NOMINATIONS for this year’s Geelong Business Excellence Awards are now open.

The search is on to identify outstanding and inspiring businesses, business leaders and young entrepreneurs who are excelling in their business.

As a community, it is important to acknowledge those people and businesses who inspire us with their passion and courage to innovate, improve and succeed.

Supported by major sponsor, LBW Business + Wealth Advisors and managed by the Geelong Chamber of Commerce, the awards celebrate business excellence across 20 categories targeting small, medium, and large businesses from all industries including manufacturing, hospitality, tourism, not for profit, health, financial services, and many more.

“We are honoured to be long term supporters of this prestigious awards program that provides an incredible platform to hear the inspirational stories of Geelong businesses and business leaders,” LBW Business + Wealth Advisors associate principal Cathryn Walley said.

Show an inspiring or exceptional business, business leader or young entrepreneur how much you value them by nominating them today. Absolutely anyone can nominate.

It takes less than 60 seconds to complete the online form to make someone’s day. You can also register your own business to enter. Nominating is free, quick, and easy.

“The awards give a great insight into your business,” Emma Jarman from Geelong Sports Medicine Centre, which won the Emerging Business Award at the 2023 Winner of the Geelong Business Excellence Awards, said.

“It makes you consider areas that need more investment of time and is just beneficial overall in terms of seeing the big picture.”

Entries open on May 2, and all potential entrants are invited to attend one or more of the free information sessions to be held on May 7, May 8, May 10, May 14 and May 16 and hear from past winners and judges on how to write a winning entry.
