Brisbane Lord Mayor’s Business Awards entries close July 20

THE Brisbane Lord Mayor's Business Awards (LMBAs) are open for nominations until July 20.

Now in their 13th year, the awards have become a touchstone for the excellence, success and innovative approach that are the hallmarks of Brisbane’s business community.

The awards celebrate the significant achievements and enormous contribution made by the local business community to Brisbane’s economy.

From product innovations to sustainable practices and emerging leaders, Lord Mayor Graham Quirk has called for Brisbane’s best businesses and businesspeople to step forward for a 2018 Lord Mayor’s Business Award.

“Brisbane is a great place to live, work and relax and is brimming with thought leaders, innovators and problem solvers,” Cr Quirk said.

“The ingenuity of our New World City’s businesses is what gives Brisbane an edge over other major Australian cities.

“The awards are one way we recognise the outstanding contribution businesses make to grow our $154 billion economy and enrich our communities.

“Whether it’s a small business offering an unrivalled service, a new product that is transforming an industry, or a business person who has demonstrated leadership and innovation in their field, I encourage all nominations.”

Nominations close on July 20, with the winners announced at a gala dinner on October 19.
