Business On The Border

04/07/2024

It started as an opportunity for me to reflect on what I have achieved through my business. Last night at the Albury Wodonga Business Awards, Maestro Media was announced a 2024 Finalist in the category of Outstanding New Business.

I will admit that it has taken me a good 24 hours to reflect on what this means for me, and my clients. The intention was to apply, and I felt proud when I reviewed my business results knowing the positive impact I am creating on a daily basis. To be announced as a Finalist is something special, because my business focus is to promote the strengths of my clients... and to see my business mentioned in The Border Mail today, this is a testament to how I have pushed through challenges aplenty to pursue my professional goals.

My heartfelt thanks to all involved for supporting this initiative that promotes a positive business community spirit. I am now looking forward to the Gala Dinner held on Friday 23 August. Big thanks also to everyone who has reached out to me since being announced as a Finalist. If you know me well, you would understand why this mention means so much to me.

Let me know if I will see you there on the night. The Albury Wodonga Business Awards 2024 is the perfect way to celebrate our thriving and dynamic business community, and what is happening in Business On The Border.
