Beacon Lighting announced overall Victorian Best Business of the Year in prestigious awards
Beacon had previously been awarded Business of the Year - Retail, one of six categories, all of which automatically became eligible to be judged for the overall award.
“We’re delighted and honoured to receive this award which is so highly regarded,” said CEO Ian Robinson. “This award has taken 40 years to achieve and is testament to the dedication and hard work of the entire Beacon Lighting team. Everyone has contributed to the strong growth of the company.”
“I would also like to thank our customers for their loyal patronage,” he added.
Mr Robinson says that there are a number of key areas where the company has improved its performance in recent years generating growth across many areas of the business.
“We’ve really focussed the business on our core values and this has served to improve our customer service offering, in particular through associate training and development of our associates,” he noted.
“Another key driver for growth has been our product innovation. We’ve introduced a number of exclusive product ranges and have lead in the area of energy efficient lighting,” Mr Robinson continued. “The company has invested many resources towards researching building codes and government regulations to develop the right lighting solutions for our customers.”
Mr Robinson added that Beacon has also broadened its customer offering through the Beacon In-Home Lighting Consultation and also the Beacon Installation Service.
Additionally the company has strengthened its partnerships with the trade through a loyalty program. And Beacon has recently launched the commercial lighting division complete with a range of commercial lighting products.
