Geelong is Business. Business is Geelong.
Geelong has a thriving business community. At LBW Business + Wealth Advisors, we believe there are lots of exciting opportunities for businesses in Geelong.
We love being involved in the evolving and innovative business landscape that is shaping Geelong alongside our business advisory clients and through our long relationship with the Geelong Chamber of Commerce, and the Geelong Business Excellence Awards (GBEA).
The Geelong Business Excellence Awards celebrate Geelong businesses and recognise those organisations that have excelled in the Geelong region. The process also provides businesses with a fabulous opportunity to look to and plan for the future.
LBW Business + Wealth Advisors have been a part of the Geelong Business Excellence Awards for 12 years. LBW Principal, Simon Flowers, has been a judge for 12 years and Chair of the judging panel for the last 6 while LBW Principal Nick Klein has been a Chamber Board member for the last 3 years.
This year we are excited to be a major sponsor and to be able to answer all your questions about the GBEA.

At LBW Business + Wealth Advisors, we are proud to be a part of identifying and supporting growing businesses in Geelong.
We love supporting and celebrating Geelong businesses that are doing great things and aspiring to be even greater.
As leading Geelong business advisors, we recognise within a growing business, it is hard to take the time to look inwards and focus on the business.
