Designbx was one of the exciting young businesses setting the trend at last week\u2019s Telstra Business Awards finals. <\/span>The Telstra Business Awards are the most competitive and prestigious awards of their kind in the country, and Designbx\u2019 co-directors celebrated their finals appearance in style at a black tie affair in Sydney on Thursday night.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Designbx<\/a>
\n\u201cWe were so proud to be named finalists,\u201d said Co-Director Kerena Berry. \u201cThe competition for these awards is tough and the judging process is rigorous. We were in the top 10% of all applicants across key judging criteria like strategy and vision, people, corporate social responsibility (CSR), operations, financial acumen and marketing. We were always quite proud of our standards, but to be recognised by the judges brings us a certain level of validation that I think will inspire us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Designbx was in the NSW Emerging & Energised category, which is apt considering the massive leaps the business has taken over the past 12 months. Major partnerships, repeat clients and national opportunities saw the online interior design business triple its revenue, complete projects in all states, significantly expand trade and supply partnerships \u00a0, and create a commercial design arm of the business.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been an exhilarating roller-coaster this year \u00a0and we\u2019re incredibly proud of how far the business has come.,\u201d Co-Director Kylie Pratt said. \u201cThis event feels like a fitting celebration of our achievements and im truly humbled to be in the same room as these other amazing businesses. We\u2019ve reached a \u00a0level in our business journey where we can now focus on further developing our culture,contributing to the community via our CSR plan which we\u2019re passionate about and building on the quality of our many business collaboration and partnership opportunities. Coming this far is proof of that. Telstra doesn\u2019t recognise businesses as being truly strong unless they are as ethical as they are innovative, so that\u2019s a great source of pride for us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Sitting at the next table were fellow Northern Beaches business, Manly Spirits<\/a>, who took out the award in the Emerging & Energised category. Considering both businesses are based on the Northern Beaches, the Designbx directors were happy to see the award go to locals.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe recently combined forces with Manly Spirits to run a promotion,\u201d Co-Director Emily Carding explained. \u201cSo we already have a great relationship with them, and they totally deserve the recognition. When we look back at what we\u2019ve gained by being a part of the Telstra Business Awards, we\u2019re feeling blessed. It\u2019s been amazing to analyse what we\u2019ve achieved, share our vision, and learn from the successes of like-minded businesses.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

After tasting success at this year\u2019s awards, Designbx is already looking forward to next year\u2019s awards when they hope to go one step further to the national finals. For now, they wish their fellow NSW finalists luck at the national 2018 Telstra Australian Business Awards<\/a> in Melbourne on Thursday, 20 September 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n
