TWEED CHAMBER of Commerce is pleased to announce the launch of the all-new Tweed Business Awards in 2023, taking the lead as the shire’s most prestigious business awards event.
Chamber president Warren Polglase said it was time to cast away the awards of the past and introduce an all-new name and format for Tweed businesses to shine.
“BEATS and other business award events of the past have done a great job, but we felt it was time to launch a fresh approach with the all new Tweed Business Awards,” he said.
The Weekly was recently invited to attend the Tweed Chamber’s official announcement and breakfast for the launch of the awards along with major sponsor Victory Organisation Group.
As with previous years, the awards will feature 15 business awards categories, four individual categories and four people’s choice categories, and a prestigious Hall of Fame Award.
Tweed Business Awards event organiser Julie West said she wanted to encourage local businesses to nominate, sponsor and get involved.
“These awards will acknowledge and publicly celebrate our local business excellence,” she said.
“We are hosting a special gala dinner awards night at the fabulous Seagulls Club next year, with specifics to be announced.
“We are delighted to have Victory Organisation Group as our major event sponsor and we’re encouraging businesses to get involved and nominate in 2023.”
Victory Organisation Group dealer principal for Victory Ford Jason Mannix said the company was delighted to back the event.
“Victory Organisation Group is a leading business in the Tweed and wanted to support other business to be the best in their chosen field,” he said.
Victory MG sales manager Ricky Occhipinti was also in attendance and said it was a great way to get exposure for your business.
“I’d like to encourage local businesses to get involved with the Tweed Business Awards and we look forward to the event in 2023,” Mr Occhipinti said.
Ms West there are sponsorship opportunities available with multiple business award categories across all sectors.
“There are more than 2,000 businesses eligible to enter the awards in 2023,” she said.
These awards open the door for winners to go on to win other prestigious national awards such as Telstra Small Business Awards, the Australia Post Small Business Awards, Champion of Champions and Tourism NSW Awards.
“The Tweed Chamber of Commerce invites you to consider developing a relationship with our region’s business community through sponsorship.”
