Export Growth: Leading our economic
recovery?
Working through one of the world’s worst financial slumps in nearly a century,
New South Wales exporters seemed to have found a way to continue to thrive
and expand into unfamiliar sectors of the business world.
Despite the
difficulties, these daring exporters made headway into some of the toughest
markets in the world. In spite of this, as we near the end of 2009, Australia
can be happy to say that times ahead appear brighter as the economy seems
to improve. This change in the economic trend is in great part due to these
bold exporters who took risks even in the most unfortunate times and
persevered.
The theme of the 2009 Premier’s NSW Export Awards this year was keeping
the focus on export growth. “We feel that the continual growth of exporters
drives the resurgence of the economy.” Ian Murray Executive Director of the
Australian Institute of Export, expressed at the beginning of the awards
campaign that “he would not be surprised when exports produced an economic
recovery.” Furthermore, he stated at the end of the campaign “After reading
the export awards entries and listening to the winners when accepting their
awards I am even more convinced that export is driving the recovery.”
Consequently, it is of great importance that we take time to celebrate the
excellence in Australian Export. Through the 2009 Premier’s NSW Export
Awards recognise and showcase the top exporters of New South Wales. The
2009 NSW export awards winners are role models to encourage other
businesses to strive for success in world markets who who have really gone
above and beyond the norm and are a key examples for growing businesses.
Ian Murray said “It’s an honour to be part of any program that recognizes
excellence but an even greater honour to recognize the companies and people
that have taken on the world, in very difficult times and won.” We feel that
exceptional companies deserve recognition and admiration. The 2009
Premier’s NSW Export Awards winners are listed below. We hope that each
year more organizations expand their businesses through export and strive to
become the Premier Awards winners.
