Testimonials
Success in life largely depends on who taught you spelling. Most people were taught to spell success “L-U-C-K”. But the truly lucky were taught to spell success “W-O-R-K”.”
DAVID WILLIAMS – LAZERTEK
Our company entered the awards primarily to give recognition to our staff for the great, and often unseen work that they do. The other benefits we saw were to raise our public profile and also allow us to reflect on our business and remind ourselves of opportunities for improvement. The awards dinner and ceremony were executed very well with full credit to the Chamber. The fact that we were a category winner was a bonus and a joyous surprise for us. Since then we have had many people comment on and congratulate us on our win, whilst other have sought information about our services. Our success has given us confidence and has spurred us on to aim for business improvement in other areas.”
ROSS LEAMON – DOWNEY ENGINEERING
“Toowoomba is often underestimated by those who live and work here, in reality we have relatively few limitations. We have a great physical environment and a lovely climate, easy access to world class air and sea ports to service international markets, a local source of skilled labour, and boundless business opportunities, some right on our doorstep.”
JOHN RUSSELL – RUSSELL MINING EQUIPMENT

MATTHEW DURACK – STAHMANN FARMS
Its given us a tremendous sense of fulfilment and a great deal of reward for all the hard work we’ve put into the business over the past 9 years. Our reasons for entering the Business Excellence Awards was to support the Toowoomba Chamber as we felt the awards were a wonderful initiative.”
