UOW Enterprises takes out business excellence and export awards

UOW Enterprises has once again been recognised for excellence in business and outstanding international success in education and training at the recent Hong Kong Australia Business Association Awards and the NSW Export Council of Australia Awards.

For the second year in a row, UOW Enterprises took out the 2016 Premier’s NSW Export Award in the Education and Training category. UOW Enterprises also received the 2016 Hong Kong (NSW) Australian Business Association Award for Business Excellence.

Group CEO of UOW Enterprises Marisa Mastroianni praised the global team of committed educational professionals for their tireless efforts leading up to the awards.

“We are very pleased and proud to have our global success story recognised again – particularly by both the prestigious Hong Kong Australia Business Association and the Export Council of Australia,” she said.

“Our team works tirelessly to provide access to quality Australian education offshore and we will continue to contribute to Australia’s high standing in the international education landscape.”

The Hong Kong Australian Business Association (HKABA) NSW Chapter annual business awards program recognises the entrepreneurial spirit and achievements of both small and medium enterprises and corporations in all aspects of international trade affiliations between New South Wales and Hong Kong SAR.

The Premier’s NSW Export Awards is an annual program that recognises excellence in the export of goods and services by NSW business, and acknowledges the important contribution of businesses to the economy through job creation and increased prosperity for the community and the state.

UOW Enterprises will now progress through as a finalist in the Australian Export Awards held in Brisbane in November, together with the HKABA National Awards next year.
