25.01.2022 A HUGE thank you to CQUniversity Australia who have signed up again as a Bronze Sponsor for the 2020 Sunshine Coast Business Awards! Without our incredible sponsors the Awards would not be possible! CQUniversity Australia has been on a phenomenal trajectory in recent years and its remarkable growth in student numbers, new courses, new campuses, infrastructure and reputation has seen it emerge as one of Australia’s truly great universities. : #scba20 #CQUniversity #bronzesponsor #thankyou #scmeansbusiness

24.01.2022 I am a passionate supporter and advocate for the many incredible small businesses we have here on the Sunshine Coast. And I am equally as passionate about "Generation Innovation" which is a FREE program that connects people between the ages of 15 and 25 with the marketplace and unleashes their innovative genius to launch their dream business. The Sunshine Coast Business Awards welcomed this program into our awards platform two years ago because we see how this program is a na...tural pathway for many of these talented young entrepreneurs. And while sadly we won't be holding the SCBA in 2020 we are still very much getting behind Generation Innovation and we cannot wait to see what talent is discovered in 2020. So, if you know a talented young person who could use a $10,000 package to build their very own business please get them to apply now.

15.01.2022 Judy Copley is one of Australia's leading couture gown designers and we are lucky enough to call her our own. Judy's designs can be seen being worn on the red carpet by celebrities all over the world.

14.01.2022 On RUOK Day, this is a timely video to share for business owners who might be experiencing financial distress. You can share your circumstances confidentially and without judgement to the Small Business Financial Counsellor for the Sunshine Coast. Kylie is delivering counselling and support under the Rural Financial Counselling Service Southern Queensland small business program. If you are COVID-19 affected and need help, now is the time to share your struggle with someone. Please share this message with anyone you know who might need support.

13.01.2022 A great initiative by award winner Kokopod.

12.01.2022 Sunshine Coast Business Awards postponed until 2021 While 2020 started off in a promising manner, COVID-19 quickly impacted our lives in ways many of us never thought was possible. Initially, we had hoped that we may still be in a position to run the awards in 2020, but as things progressed we came to the realisation that this year there will not be much for many businesses to celebrate. Holding the awards would also add additional financial pressure on our valued sponsors.... So, it is with a heavy heart that we have made the decision to not hold the SCBA in 2020. Instead, we will look forward to bringing them back in 2021 to recognise the many outstanding businesses we have here on the Sunshine Coast. : #supportsmall #supportlocal #scbusinessawards #scchamberalliance #SCmeansbusiness #strongertogether

09.01.2022 2019 Sunshine Coast Business Awards Gala

07.01.2022 Last week the Sunshine Coast Business Awards (SCBA) Committee and I made a truly hard decision. After careful consideration, we decided not to hold the SCBA in 2020 because this year there will not be a lot to celebrate. This will be the first time in 26 years they have not been held and it saddens me more than I can truly express.... But what saddens me more is the sheer number of small businesses that are hurting and struggling to survive as a result of the impact of COVID 19. When I first got involved in the SCBA many years ago it was an experience like no other. Listening to applicant after applicant for three days solid may sound exhausting. It wasn’t. It was inspiring, uplifting and positively motivating. The small business people who make up the fabric of this incredible region all have amazing stories to tell. Each one is different but equally as inspiring as the next. And they are the heart and soul of our region. They are the ones who keep our economy alive by attracting people to the region, they provide products and services, create entertainment, events and art, they educate, manufacture and build.
