NOW in its sixth year, the Rising Stars Awards is a program aimed at private Western Australian-based companies that are experiencing fast and exciting growth.
While the buoyant conditions of WA public companies are often documented, the strong and consistent growth of the private sector is sometimes overlooked.
That is why the Rising Stars Awards provide an annual platform to showcase companies that have sustained high rates of growth and recognise enterprises that understand and can articulate the key drivers behind sustained growth.
The awards program was launched in February this year at the Verne Harnish Fast Growth Seminar.
Dubbed the 'Growth Guy', Mr Harnish is the founder of the world-renowned Young Entrepreneurs' Organisation (YEO), was named one of the Top Ten Minds in Small Business by Fortune Small Business.
This year, the calibre of entrants was outstanding, according to the judges, and varied, covering a complete range of industries such as construction, shipbuilding and health to financial services and even geospatial consultancy.
Entrants were asked to complete an application which asked to specifically detail their methods and value-creating strategies that not only recorded their growth patterns, but also the processes in which to maintain their development.
From these results, the top 10 2008 Rising Stars were chosen.
