• Dave’s reaction to winning “Best Small Business Award and Supreme Award”
  “I was asked to enter in 2006 and started the paperwork but then business got too busy and it went in the too-hard basket and I did not complete it. I thought that at the end of the day if I went in I would at least get an opportunity to be critiqued by 6 of New Zealand’s top business people who would give us feedback and guidance…a bit like getting all the “Dragons” for free. Winning the Best Small Business Award was a great encouragement to us but then being awarded the Top prize blew us away and we were speechless. Both these awards go to all our Franchisees around the world and clients who have helped in making our company great, thanks to everyone. Last I want to acknowledge God in all this. Without Him, this company would not be able to do what it does”
