We are super excited to announce that we won the Emerging Business Award for 2014 at the Otago Business Excellence Awards in Dunedin on the 6th of November. Some of the Timely crew went along to enjoy the night and celebrate with the other finalists.

Timely took out the Emerging Business category sponsored by Powerhouse Ventures. The other two finalists were Nomos Ltd and Cascade Creek Retreat, with all companies being established for less than three years. A big thanks to Powerhouse Ventures for not only sponsoring this award, but hosting some of us on the night.

We were also finalists for the Design Award sponsored by the Otago Polytechnic, which went to Escea. It was great to be acknowledged in this category as well, as the design of Timely is a big part of what makes it great to use for our customers.

This award is a great addition to the Rising Star Award, which was won at the Otago Deloitte’s Fast 50 Awards in October. This category is specifically for businesses less than three years old as well and it was noted how Timely’s fast growth makes the company one to watch. Exciting times ahead!

When our team has such a single-minded focus day-to-day about making Timely awesome for our customers, it’s nice to have the results of that recognised in this way. We will keep striving to bring the best possible design and customer service to our customers for many years to come.
