BUSINESS AWARDS
Images of the previous Pacific Business Awards events shout ‘You had to be there!’. Like a Hollywood red carpet event, if you’re not in quick you’re one of the few that are reading about it after the fact trying to figure out why you didn’t get a ticket early. The bi annual gala dinner, hosted by the Pacific Business Trust is a salutation to all our Pacific entrepreneurs who have persevered and done the hard yards. It also aims to create a forum that highlights the Pacific business sector, provides networking opportunities for sponsors, government sectors and media with small businesses and those who are looking to go down the same path. You don’t have to be a business owner to attend the black tie dinner, who doesn’t enjoy getting dressed up and being entertained? Showered with media attention? And enlightened? These are just a few things that can happen at the Pacific Business Awards.
These finalists and winners have challenged their own abilities, pushed through those who’ve said they can’t do it, taken risks to get to where they are. Is that you? Are you ready to have your business celebrated? Do you want to have all your hard work recognised by not only the Pacific community but the mainstream business community as well? Then the Pacific Business Awards is something for you to look forward to. Anyone who’s been in business for two years minimum is eligible to submit an application to become a finalist in the next Pacific Business Awards celebration. There’s something in it for everyone. If you are ready or you know someone who you think should be commemorated in the awards then don’t hold back. Get in touch with one of our Business Advisors today!
