The trophy we received was the Purpose-Driven Business Award. This is the first time in our eleven years of operation that we have received an award like this, and the staff are delighted by the decision.
Our CEO Brett Fleming was there to represent the team and receive this special award on our behalf. We received a certificate, a trophy and a native tree that we have decided the only place fitting to plant this should be on the property of Ian Elliott, one of our founders.
We know he would be very proud of us and the work that Transform continues to do in the South Waikato. It is such an honour to get recognition like this from our local community.
Our award is a beautiful reminder that what we do, not only impacts individuals but the community at large too.
