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 Winners 2015

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.

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.

It was another excellent evening hosted by the City of Casey and the Casey Economic Development Department. The guest presenter was Neil Mitchell of 3AW who covered a range of topics including the need for clear and upfront communications from politicians and public figures; and his admiration of small businesses and their contribution to the success of the nation.

He also left us with some advice. Here is the summary:

 

  • Know your limitations
  • Keep trying harder regardless of what you have already achieved
  • Don’t take yourself too seriously
  • Don’t forget who you work for; serve them; do your best for them.

 

And our congratulations got to GAIA Skin Naturals as winners of both the Manufacturer of the Year and Casey Business of the Year for 2012.

 

There will be official pictures and videos released soon and I’ll post again once they are available.
