Transport World takes out excellence award

The Transport World team is buzzing after being named the winner of its category at the Southland Business Excellence Awards. Transport World – comprised of TW Events & Incentives, Bill Richardson Transport World, Classic Motorcycle Mecca, Dig This Invercargill, and The Lodges at Transport World – won the Consumer Award category at the event.

“Our team is absolutely thrilled,” Transport World executive director Joc O’Donnell says. “We love doing what we do. Everybody plays a part in creating a fantastic visitor experience for our guests, and our team is so genuinely enthusiastic about wanting to make sure our visitors enjoy their time with us. We take a lot of pride in what we do and the way we do it, so to be recognised in this way is really rewarding for everybody. We’ll have to plan a way for everybody to come together and celebrate!”

Being nominated in a category alongside other well-regarded businesses in the community had made the team feel “quite humbled, really”. “Southlanders take a lot of pride in their friendliness, and that certainly extends to the service and experience you receive as a customer at businesses throughout the region. Being named as a finalist in the same category as some really well-regarded businesses was quite gratifying,” Joc says.

“Being named as the winner of the Consumer Award has given our team a much-needed boost in some fairly challenging times for those of us in the tourism industry. We’re really rapt, and really appreciate the recognition. We want to congratulate our fellow finalists for their achievements, and thank the Chamber of Commerce and its sponsors for the award.”

This was the first time Transport World had entered the awards.
