BE INVOLVED WITH THE BUSINESS EXCELLENCE AWARDS

The Toowoomba Chamber invites you to engage and participate in the Focus HR Business Excellence Awards 2023.

In 2023, we want to hear our businesses “Tell Their Story”. 

Storytelling is one of the most powerful crafts in the world. 

Business storytelling can bring you PR, media attention and even fame.  However, it is more than that, your business stories are what weaves your company together:

  • It is why you get up in the morning. 
  • It is why people buy from you. 
  • It is why people work with you and it is how your product or service came about. 
  • It is why your company is relevant today and it is the values and code of conduct for how you operate. 

When you know your story, you know your relevance and everyone else will too!

The Toowoomba Region has a rich and diverse economy. An economy based on a range of industries, including mining and manufacturing industries, robust agricultural and horticultural industries, a growing hospitality and tourism market, a large health and wellness sector and a diverse and growing small business sector. 

An economy led by our top five industries (by business count):

  1. agriculture, forestry and fisheries;
  2. construction;
  3. rental, hiring and real estate services;
  4. professional, scientific and technical services; and
  5. transport, postal and warehousing.

An economy consisting of a vast array of over 16,000 businesses, with 62.6% non-employing sole traders, 35% with one to 19 employees, 2.3% with 20 to 199 employees and 0.1% with 200 plus employees.

The large and diverse business base is supported by places of natural and man-made beauty, including the Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport which connects us to the world and beyond; a community spirit second to none.

Hosted by the Toowoomba Chamber, the Focus HR Business Excellence Awards 2023 are designed to celebrate the efforts and achievements of our diverse and dedicated business community and recognise their contribution, not only to economic vitality but to creating a strong, healthy, innovative, vibrant and nation leading regional community that is the Toowoomba Region.
