Simply the Best at Sunshine Coast Business Awards
Sunshine Coast Business Awards Chair Jennifer Swaine reflects on the success and superstars that made the 29th Sunshine Coast Business Awards shine.
What an incredible night it was at the 29th annual Sunshine Coast Business Awards Gala! As I looked around the room, I was struck by the sheer energy, passion, and resilience radiating from the people who make our region so special. This wasn’t just an event – it was a celebration of the courage and dedication that defines the Sunshine Coast’s vibrant business community. The stories shared throughout the night were nothing short of inspiring. From innovative startups to established businesses entering the Hall of Fame, every finalist brought something unique to the table.
Whether they walked away with an award or not, each participant was recognised for their hard work, creativity, and commitment to excellence. These are the people driving our region forward, and it was a privilege to celebrate them. However, the Gala that celebrates these outstanding businesses isn’t just about awards; it is about connection, inspiration, and community. Congratulations to all the winners, finalists, and inductees – you are the heartbeat of our region. And thank you to all of our sponsors and supporters who enable us to present this comprehensive program every year.
Here’s to another year of innovation, growth, and success – and to celebrating the Awards’ 30th anniversary in 2025.
