Smart Energy - Joint Winner (Export Category) in Business Excellence Awards

October 9, 2009

We’ve been working pretty hard at developing our business here at Smart Energy since we started in 2005, so we see last night’s Business Excellence Award as confirmation that we are heading in the right direction.  The Business Excellence Awards dinner was held by the Aoraki Development Trust and it was a great opportunity for attendees to learn more about the many successful companies to be found in South Canterbury.

View Smart Energy’s short video clip shown at the Awards Dinner for a background into the work we’re doing developing renewable energy systems for Afghanistan.  It is amazing what can be achieved in Timaru with a great team, an internet connection, and a couple of business partners who aren’t adverse to taking a few risks!
