TBA 2026
 
In 2025, the Torquay Business Awards marked it's fourth year with a record-breaking event!  Thanks to the foundation established by the Rotary Club of Torquay and the efforts of Commerce Torquay, we hosted a vibrant evening celebrating the exceptional talent and resilience of businesses in the 3228 postcode.
 
Commerce Torquay is a dedicated, volunteer-run, not-for-profit group supporting the business community for over 30 years through networking, education, and advocacy.
 

The Torquay Business Awards is our flagship event, and we invite you to join us in 2026. The awards presentation dinner will take place on Thursday 10th September at The Sands Resort Torquay. 

Join us for an unforgettable evening as we celebrate the outstanding businesses, people and achievements that make our local community thrive at the 2026 Torquay Business Awards.

Enjoy a night of celebration, connection and recognition as we honour the finalists and winners who are making a difference across our region.

Whether you're a business owner, supporter, employee or community member, this is an event not to be missed.
