On Friday 8th September I had the great pleasure in representing MYOB Australia at the 2006 City North News Business Achiever Awards. I presented several awards, along with John Banks – Group Advertising Director – QUEST Community Newspapers.
Here is John Banks & I prior to walking onstage – it is not the best photo – but you can see that we are enjoying ourselves & the giant MYOB logo in the back ground.
It was a very exciting evening held at “The Tivoli” in Fortitude Valley, a beautiful Art Deco style theatre.
The common theme in the acceptance speeches on the night was the winners passion for their business, their gratefulness for the support they receive from their employees, family & friends, and the importance of customer service.
I was also very excited to meet Brett Annable, a man mumpreneurs love, for the work he did as co-host of Network Ten’s “In The Box”. It is not the first time I have met him, my son actually was featured on the show about 3 years ago. Brett as always was lovely, and did a great job on the night. He told me that he “In The Box” shall be taken off the t.v. at the end of the year which is very disappointing, we need more Australian made (locally produced is even better) “G-rated” programmes not less of them!
Thank-you MYOB Australia for my invitation!!
