Hi, it’s Stephen Hunt from Hunt Hospitality International.
Welcome back! I’m delighted to announce that we have placed in the Top Three Most Innovative Companies in Australia by the Financial Review.
Our team is truly thankful and delighted with the effort they’ve put in. For us to get to this stage has been phenomenal. And for us to finish in the Top Three competing against multinationals and interstate companies is a huge achievement for us!
And this brings me on to Awards and the Importance of Awards. So we’ve achieved a very high distinction. But that has taken us many years to get there. So for you, if you’re in a smaller business, start off small and gradually build. So many years ago, the first award we received was from our local business chamber.
Now, at the time, our company was only small and we were growing – we couldn’t afford to have anyone put together a presentation for us to enter into the awards. So I did it myself. Now, fortunately enough, we actually won an award. And that was as big as us achieving this award that we’ve received in the last few weeks.
So: start off small – you don’t have to have a huge budget, pay attention to what questions you have to answer and the rewards will come. Once you start winning those awards, those accolades help grow your business, your brand and your marketing. Everyone likes to be surrounded by winners and to have winners working for them.
So best of luck and as always, please reach out and make contact. Cheers.
