THE Redlands Coast business community is gearing up for one of the most anticipated moments on the local calendar, with the Redlands Business Excellence Awards Launch and Workshop set to officially open this year’s awards season on Monday March 23, at Fiction Bar & Restaurant.
Hosted by the Redlands Coast Chamber of Commerce, the event marks the beginning of a celebration that has become synonymous with innovation, resilience, and the entrepreneurial spirit that defines our region.
Each year, the Awards shine a light on the people and enterprises who make the Redlands such a vibrant place to live, work, and do business — from family‑run shops and emerging start‑ups to established industry leaders.
A launch event designed to empower local businesses
This year’s Launch and Workshop goes beyond simply announcing the Awards.
It’s a hands‑on, practical session designed to help businesses understand the categories, strengthen their submissions, and gain insights into what judges look for.
Whether you’re a first‑time entrant or a returning finalist, the workshop offers valuable guidance to help you put your best foot forward.
The Chamber has seen remarkable growth in participation, with last year’s Awards attracting 273 applications — a 32 per cent increase — and recognising 63 finalists across 20 categories.
The community’s enthusiasm continues to grow, reflecting the Awards’ reputation as the Redlands’ premier platform for celebrating business excellence.

As the Chamber prepares for another exciting season, the Launch and Workshop is the perfect opportunity for businesses to connect, learn, and begin their Awards journey with confidence.
