Background

The Melbourne Business Awards commenced in 1992 to provide a forum to recognise the achievements of small to medium sized enterprises within the South East Region including the industrial areas of Moorabbin, Cheltenham, Highett, Clayton South, Mordialloc, Braeside, and Chelsea Heights.

The Melbourne Business Awards holds five breakfasts throughout the year which attract up to 220 people from small to medium businesses and corporate leaders. Each Breakfast features a topical keynote speaker from the business, political or sporting sectors. These speakers provide dynamic and motivational presentations covering the specialist knowledge from their respective areas of expertise.

In addition, two local businesses are chosen to highlight their business achievements through a short presentation which provides an overview of their success and challenges.

Vision Statement

The MBA seeks to assist small to medium sized companies become more enterprising and innovative.

This is achieved by:

• rewarding “excellence” through recognising companies that are leaders in their field;
• inspiring other small to medium enterprises (SMEs) to overcome the challenges that they face in their own businesses and hopefully learn from the achievements of others;
• providing a valuable networking opportunity for local business people
• encouraging an ongoing commitment to the training of young people
