Champion win brings tears, smiles

Connect staff were presented with an award statuette, certificate and gained national recognition as an industry leader.
“Having our passion, dedication, commitment and hard work celebrated among our peers is an experience we will treasure for years,” a spokesperson said.
Precedent Productions Managing Director Steve Loe said there were plenty of joyful tears and beaming smiles.
“The lead-up to the awards is always a busy time, but it’s always worth it to see the reaction of the winners and their loved ones,” he said.
“Small business people in Australia work extremely hard all year round, often for little or no recognition”.
“To see the surprise and delight when they hear their names announced and their consistently emotional speeches, brings great joy to all of us back stage”.
“The stories they tell during their acceptance speeches are truly inspiring”.
“It’s also incredibly emotional for everyone when they thank those who have helped them.”
