A WIN!
« on: September 04, 2011, 06:42:13 PM »
We attended the Glen Innes Business Awards on Friday night - was a great night with a good meal, a very entertaining speech by Peter FitzSimons and even some dancing .

Apart from all that, we were very honoured to receive the "Best Business from Home" award - quite chuffed to be also named as a finalist in the overall Outstanding Business award.

There were 8 nominees in our category so we were surprised and very pleased to win the award.  A big Thank You to everyone who helps us along the way - family, staff, customers and friends. 

We really appreciate it and have lots of great things planned for the next 12 months to keep the momentum going.

Will post a photo as soon as we get our hands on one.

cheers

Thanks for the congrats and best wishes - we appreciate it.

Havent managed to get a photo yet so you've got to settle for a quick scan from the local newspaper.



Remember, according to the 11th Doctor:  "bowties are cool"
