Australian Telstra business awards state finalists
Australian business owners have been invited to stand up and be recognised in the Annual Telstra Australian Business Awards. The idea behind NSW finalist 180 Nutrition came to Stuart Cooke and Guy Lawrence while they were on patrol for Coogee Surf Life Saving Club in 2010.
The small businesses that are thinking big in awards
A drive to succeed and a determination to overcome setbacks that crop up along the way. These are the qualities of successful business owners – from sole traders running a small venture at home to medium size enterprises looking to export. Regardless of a business’s size, age or profitability, they are not only a crucial part of the national economy, but also our identity as a nation of innovators and optimists.
Shaking things up
WHILE checking out protein powders and shakes to build the strength of chronically ill clients, fitness trainer Guy Lawrence was shocked to discover how many contained sugar, preservatives and synthetic chemicals. As a result, he decided to muscle in on the industry himself by calling on the help of a nutritionist and health industry practitioner to create a formula using natural, organic and raw ingredients.
