From Construction Site to Celebration

Hamilton Central Business Association is proud to have brought together the Love the Centre Awards, celebrating the businesses and people whose energy, resilience and commitment help Hamilton’s central city thrive. A huge thank you goes to key sponsor Spark Business and supporting sponsor Mediaworks for helping bring the Love the Centre Awards to life.

The future lobby of Hamilton’s Pullman Hotel became a spectacular celebration space for the awards, bringing the central city business community together for an evening of recognition, connection and celebration. With a crane providing a striking backdrop and concrete floors incorporated into the setting, the hotel construction site offered a memorable glimpse of what is to come when the new hotel opens early next year.

For one night, the space came alive with beautiful event styling, delicious canapés by Pragma Catering and an upbeat atmosphere, as businesses gathered to celebrate achievements across 10 award categories. The occasion was captured in photography and video by Moving Media and Gilmour Studios.
