Richard has been the Vice President of the Gold Coast Business Excellence Awards (Awards) since 2003 and these Awards are in their 29th year.
In his role as Vice President, he is working closely with its current President, Adam Twemlow, to continue to promote the importance and relevance and reputation of the Awards throughout the business community on the Gold Coast.
The Awards and the members of the Awards committee understand the importance of recognising the reputation, success and excellence of Gold Coast based businesses. We have learned that the customers and clients of these businesses value the importance of dealing with “winners” in each of the 11 categories of the Awards, and we also believe that business owners love sharing their success and their recognition of the Awards with their staff, customers and clients.
The Awards judge monthly winners in 11 categories between May and October each year and announce the category winners and announce the Business of the Year at a Gala function in November each year. The Awards also inducts a prominent Gold Coast Business Person into the Awards Hall of Fame.
The Gold Coast Business Excellence Awards plays an important part in the life and role of the Gold Coast Business Community and Richard encourages all businesses to enter the Awards and to share the success of their application, monthly awards and category awards with their staff, customers and clients.
