At Walker Designs, we believe that a thriving local economy is built on the foundations of ambition, resilience and creativity. As a long-standing member of the Northern Tasmanian business community, we are passionate about giving back to the region that has supported us for so many years.

That is why we are thrilled to announce our continued partnership with the [Launceston Chamber of Commerce](https://lcc.asn.au/) as a category sponsor for the [2026 CareSuper Business Excellence Awards](https://lcc.asn.au/2026-business-excellence-awards/). This year marks a momentous milestone: the 20th anniversary of the awards. For two decades, these awards have shone a spotlight on the businesses and individuals shaping the future of Launceston and beyond.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 ### **Our Journey with the Business Excellence Awards**

 

 

 

2010

Our relationship with the awards spans back to 2010, when we first began developing the creative materials for the annual event. Shortly after, we became a proud member of the Launceston Chamber of Commerce, cementing our long-term commitment to supporting the Northern Tasmanian business community.

 

 

 

2024

We experienced the thrill of being named a finalist and ultimately winning the Excellence in Design category. This milestone gave us a first-hand look at the value of the awards, allowing us to reflect on our team's hard work while significantly elevating our professional profile within the region.

 

 

 

2025

We transitioned from entrants to partners, sponsoring the Excellence in Design category and developing the event’s visual identity. We were honoured to design the key deliverables, including programmes and certificates, as well as the physical trophies in collaboration with the team at [Think Big Printing](https://thinkbigprinting.com.au/).

 

 

 

2026

We are back for the 20th anniversary. Vincent recently attended the Launch Event at Boags Function Centre to kick off this milestone year. We have developed a fresh theme and brand identity for 2026, which will be rolled out across all finalists' and winners' materials to complement the gala night.
