Winner of the Channel 7 Award for Business Person of the Year - Adrian Di Marco, Executive Chairman and Founder of TechnologyOne
Winning the Lord Mayor’s Business Awards in 2009 has certainly endorsed the company’s position as a leading international software company which was founded in Brisbane and continues to compete on the global stage from our headquarters in Fortitude Valley.
I felt very humbled to receive the recognition and we received a substantial amount of feedback from customers and industry contacts which has been great. Our staff are very proud that as a Brisbane based company, we have achieved so much. I felt the award was as much for them as for me as the Business Person of the Year.
