Husband and wife duo Shayne and Lisa Cunningham have won the Tourism Category at this year\u2019s Geelong Small Business Awards.<\/p>\n
Their boutique tour company Mustang & Co. was recognised on May 17 at the event held at GMBHA Stadium.<\/p>\n
In its third year, Mustang & Co. have gone from strength to strength providing tours of the Great Ocean Road, Geelong and Bellarine Winery region and the Otways. They have mini buses and people movers or larger groups and the pride of the fleet is the 1966 red Mustang convertible.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were really thrilled to collect the award. Operating a small business as a husband and wife team takes a lot of dedication and hard work. We felt theaward recognised all the efforts and all the special ways that we look after our tour bookings,\u201d Ms Cunningham said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it is a birthday surprise or an anniversary celebration we provide a personalised card. We take photos of the groups\u00a0 so they have memories to keep and share, we provide a small gift bag with brochures and information on the tourist venues and attractions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe reviews that people have written on our Facebook page make us so proud. Every\u00a0tour has a different story and the one thing that stands out is our ability to make people happy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ms Cunningham said it was always Shayne\u2019s dream to own a classic car, so when he turned 50 received a gorgeous vintage Mustang which he fondly calls \u201cBetty\u201d (after Betty Boop).<\/p>\n
\u201cShayne now has his dream car and his dream job. There is so much pleasure taking people on a surprise birthday tour, a first time visit to the region, or celebrating a wedding anniversary.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said Mustang & Co. is the first small business the couple have operated and reflects their high standards.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe strive for excellence and go out of our way to provide the full VIP treatment. Now we can proudly display our trophy as winners of the best business in the Tourism Category.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
