Telstra Business Awards 2010
August 18, 2010

MG Financial Planning was recently named as Victorian State Finalist in the Small Business category for the Telstra Business Awards 2010. 

Since their inception in 1992, the Telstra Business Awards have grown to become the premier national awards program, designed to celebrate and promote the achievements and success of Australia’s small and medium businesses. The awards attracted over 4000 business entrants. 

This year was a milestone for the Telstra Business Awards with the added value of a 'Free Business Health Check' offered to all entrants. The Health Check is designed to help identify opportunities to grow and expand. 

The award process judged each entrant on the basis of the following criteria: Business Details, Sales & Marketing, Customers, Team Planning & Performance, Financials, Innovation and Social Responsibility. Once the entry submissions were thoroughly assessed by a panel of national experts, the most outstanding businesses in each state were shortlisted. Independent judges subsequently conducted site visits for further evaluation. Following the site visit, finalists were then announced for each of the five award categories in every state and territory.

 MG Financial Planning was one of a few Regional firms across all categories to make the finals and the only Financial Planning Business to be shortlisted. MG Financial Planning was announced as Victorian State Finalist at the State Presentation Gala Dinner on July 2nd 2010. 

Director Gary Lucas said, ‘It is a proud and significant achievement for our business to be named Victorian State Finalist by Australia’s most prestigious Awards Program. It is a reflection of our energy, dedication, and excellence across our entire team. It recognises not only our ultimate success but also our skills and innovation which enable us to deliver the best quality service to our clients.’ 

MG Financial Planning is now recognised as part of an exclusive group of Australian businesses.
