It’s with great pleasure that I invite you to celebrate and be part of the 2010 Telstra Business Awards.

Telstra has always been dedicated to assisting the development and growth of Australia’s 1.3 million Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). We are in a privileged position where we serve more SMEs than any other Australian company, giving us valuable insights into the fabric of this important sector, literally, the ‘backbone’ of our economy.

Telstra therefore recognises the need to support small business development, hence our 18 year investment in the Telstra Business Awards.

• identified a remarkable array of business success stories;
• encouraged and promoted thousands of Australian companies, helping them to innovate and grow; and,
• offered businesses a wide range of benefits, including improved planning, staff rewards, increasing sales and a higher profile.

Any business that enters the awards, even one that may not make it to the National Finals, can get something out of the program which will help their business.

Telstra looks forward to again helping companies entering the Telstra Business Awards to realise new possibilities for their business success.
