Geelong comes alive After 5

Geelong Chamber of Commerce (GCC) held its latest After 5 event last week to showcase some of the finalists of the 2022 Geelong Business Excellence Awards (GBEA).

In conjunction with GBEA major sponsor, LBW Business + Wealth Advisors, the GCC hosted representatives from businesses all across Geelong at catering specialist Truffleduck’s Fyansford venue to hear from GBEA finalists.

The Awards were created to provide a platform to recognise excellence but also provide businesses with constructive feedback from its experienced judges.

GCC chief executive officer Ben Flynn held a Q&A session with some of the finalists, who he praised along with all those in attendance in his address to the crowd.

“It’s just wonderful to see so many members of the Geelong business community being represented here tonight,” he said.

“After the trials and tribulations of the last few years it’s been remarkable to see so many Geelong businesses focus on growth and supporting their employees.”

The Awards presentation event will take place at GMHBA Stadium on Thursday, October 27, where the 2022 Geelong Business of the Year will be announced.
