ONE of the Geelong Business Excellence Awards’ strongest success stories will bring more than a decades’ worth of experience to this year’s judging panel.<\/p>\n

Roderick Insurance Brokers is continuing its long-standing support of the annual showcase as a supporter in 2023.<\/p>\n

Its involvement with the GBEAs includes multiple business awards wins and as a hall of fame inductee in 2015, with the ongoing support testament of the value the business places in the event’s role as a launching platform for business success.<\/p>\n

Roderick Insurance Brokers sales and claims manager Paul Codd will join the awards’ judging panel this year, and said he was keen to share his first-hand experience with new and returning entrants.<\/p>\n

“I’m very excited \u2013 I jumped at the chance really when the opportunity was proposed to me.<\/p>\n

“Being part of the process early on, I think it’ll give me a good idea of what to look for, and hopefully I can potentially impart a bit of knowledge to the to the various contestants.<\/p>\n

“We can genuinely say that it’s a really great experience for people to get involved in.<\/p>\n

“It’s a fairly robust process, it’s not an easy sort of thing just to do quickly. You really need to embrace it, but I think you do get a lot out of it.<\/p>\n

Mr Codd recalled his experience of the awards process in the early 2010s, when Roderick claimed awards for medium-sized business excellence, as proof of its benefits.<\/p>\n

“The judging panel has experience in a whole range of areas, and gave us some unique insights into what they viewed as a successful business, and perhaps what we should be aiming for to ensure that we create a sustainable and viable business.<\/p>\n

“It really gave us that, hard nose discipline, to ensure we focus on the on the things that enable us to grow and become a respected part of the overall business community.”<\/p>\n

Mr Codd said the valuable advice from local business experts and potential exposure to a new, larger client base made it a rewarding experience for applicants.<\/p>\n

“We see this as a as a fantastic platform for some of these businesses in Geelong, both established and startups, to really promote themselves and go through the rigour and discipline of forming a an official presentation.<\/p>\n

“Ultimately [that] helps their helps their business and their knowledge of their own business going forward.<\/p>\n

“We can help promote businesses across the region reach their full potential.”<\/p>\n

Nominations for the 2023 Geelong Business Excellence Awards are open for one more week, closing on July 14.<\/p>\n
