This past year has been a good year for Australian Manufacturing. Every one of the past 12 months Australian Manufacturing increased.

And we have had a record year developing new products intended for manufacture right here in Australia. This is the reason Successful Endeavours exists, to design new electronics based products intended for manufacture in Australia. So I’m very pleased to see this happening on a larger scale.

Casey Cardinia Business Awards

The City of Casey and Shire of Cardinia have been actively collaborating and cooperating for many years now. This is an inspiring example of how to buck the current Australian trend against collaboration. And one of the ways they are doing this is with a combined business program including the Casey Cardinia Business Group and the Casey Cardinia Business Awards.

 

The Casey Cardinia Business Awards Finalists for 2015 were announced in August and last night the winners were announced at a gala dinner at the Cranbourne Turn Club. We are pleased to let let you know that we won the Business and Professional Services Award.

This is the second year of the combined business awards for the City of Casey and the Shire of Cardinia. And I still very much enjoy seeing how well the two councils work and collaborate together.

We finally have photos from the Casey Business Awards for 2013 so here they are.

The picture above is for the Business and Professional Services Award for 2013 and was presented by the Department of State Development, Business and Innovation DSDBI. If you have been keeping track, we have won this award 3 out of the past 4 years.

And this one is for the Casey Innovation Award for 2013 presented by Westfield Fountain Gate. As a Product Development company specialising in the creation of new technology based products, I had expected to be recognised for out Innovation in how we implement new Electronics Based products. However this time we were recognised for our marketing strategies and in particular our use of the Internet to both communicate with customers and for lead generation.

 

As you might know from my recent post on our wins at the Casey Business Awards 2013, this is the last year that these awards will be held. Next year the City of Casey and Cardinia Shire will hold joint awards, probably under the name of the Casey Cardinia Business Awards. I am hoping this proves to be an even better as an awards program.

Casey Business Awards 2013

We found out in August that we were Casey Business Awards 2013 Finalists in 2 categories:

  • Business and Professional Services Award
  • Manufacturer of the Year

Tonight at the Casey Business Awards Gala Dinner our MC, Tracey Curro did an excellent job of running the night. And we were thoroughly entertained by Max Walker who told some of his story and left me with a very profound insight into success.

The part of his presentation that resonated with me was the story about winning his first baggy green cap as he made the Australian Cricket Team. He went home, put the cap on and showed his Dad. His Dad asked for the cap and then put it on. And in that moment Max knew that his dad had believed in him and hoped for him long before he had been able to do it for himself.

Wow. This night might be about success for some businesses in winning their specific categories, but it was equally a win for everyone who believed in each of those business owners or operators long before they had won anything themselves.

Back to the awards process.

We won the Business and Professional Services Award 2013. We were pretty stoked about that.

The Manufacturer of the Year went to WasTech Engineering. Since we are primarily a service to Australian Electronics Manufacturers by designing new products for them, I have been very pleased to even be a finalist in this category. We do manufacture products but never in competition with other local manufacturers.

It was also a great night for Wastech Engineering who ultimately took out Casey Business of the Year 2013. So well done. And this is the second year running that a local manufacturer has won the award and 3 of the 4 years were manufacturing related with us winning Casey Business of the Year 2010.

But it didn’t stop there as the judges handed out some additional awards. I’m pleased to announce that we also received the Casey Business Award 2013 for Innovation.

This is the final year of the Casey Business Awards. Next year they are combining with the Shire of Cardinia to hold the combined Casey Cardinia Business Awards. We will also be involved in that. The two councils working together should prove to be a tremendous success. I’m certainly looking forward to it.

And at the end of the night we got a shot with Max Walker. He really is a legend.
