Solo Meo Finalist in The David Awards

The David Awards recognise the unsung heroes in home and small businesses throughout New Zealand, whose tenacity, courage and ingenuity place them firmly at the forefront of entrepreneurship in this country.

In the same way that David, an ordinary, unassuming young man, conquered the giant Goliath using only his shrewdness and a simple slingshot, these entrepreneurial Davids often punch well above their weight. The aim of The David Awards is to acknowledge the “Davids” who contribute so much to this country, their communities, their families and the Kiwi business landscape, and who are seldom recognised for it.

The David Awards are aimed at the smaller end of the business sector in New Zealand, and are open to businesses with up to 10 full time employees (or equivalent) – though our Solo Meo category is specifically aimed at single-person businesses and there are a variety of other categories tailored to suit a variety of other scenarios.

The Solo Meo Award

This Award celebrates a solo business owner who runs their business single-handedly. It recognises all-round business excellence, from concept through to execution. Entrants in this category must be sole owners of their business, and cannot employ anyone else in a dedicated, ongoing capacity for over 10 hours a week (e.g. virtual assistant, sales rep) but can employ others to undertake specific tasks for the business from time to time (e.g. an accountant, web designer, copywriter or product demonstrators). Distributor-type relationships are excluded provided they work from independent premises.

Finalists:

  • Isatrin Limited
  • Kai Carrier
  • Winning Habits
  • Viviers Beauty

SoapBox would like to congratulate Lisa Garrud of Isatrin, member of the Parnell SoapBox Group, for being a finalist in the Solo Meo category. Also, congratulations to George Hulbert of The Clarity Business (also a Parnell SoapBox member) for his involvement with the Isatrin submission. Winners will be announced on the 12th October – Good luck Lisa!
