Greek Australian-owned Connect & Communicate Speech Pathology Services from Belmore in Sydney has been named Champion Speech Pathology at the Australian Small Business Champion Awards.
The awards ceremony was held on Friday, September 2 at The Star Sydney, with over 1,000 guests in attendance.
Now in its 24th year, the Australian Small Business Champion Awards is the only national recognition program for Australian small businesses.
The program aims to highlight extraordinary people and acknowledge outstanding Australian small businesses. For 24 years, the Champion Awards has continued to shine a spotlight on the high standard of excellence seen throughout the small business sector across the nation.
Tina Moisidis, the owner of Connect & Communicate, is a Greek Australian speech pathologist with 15 years’ experience supporting children with communication difficulties.
The team at Connect & Communicate are experienced and trained in developing children’s language and improving children’s abilities with both literacy and speech or sound articulation difficulties, but Ms Moisidis is most passionate about supporting children with developmental delays, autism spectrum disorder or other special needs.
Ms Moisidis told The Greek Herald they are honoured to have been recognised for the award.
“It’s moments like this where everything my team and I advocate and work towards is even more worthwhile,” Ms Moisidis said.
“A child that can’t speak is not the same as a child who has nothing to say. Every child deserves a voice. It is our job to work with parents and educators to give children a means to be able to connect and communicate with society and be heard.”
The Managing Director of Precedent Productions and Founder of the Awards, Steve Loe, congratulated Ms Moisidis and her team, as well as the other award winners and finalists, for their recognition.
“We’re so proud of the growth and continued interest we see annually [in the awards]. Its growth, after all, is the real reason the awards were created. To highlight outstanding businesses who tirelessly produce and create exceptional products and services; to recognise and reward Australia’s small business community,” Mr Loe said.
The Awards are presented by the Commonwealth Bank, and supported by Awards Partners, Nine Plus, NOVA Employment, cub-Club of United Business, Xcllusive Business Sales, Castaway Forecasting and Big Clean.
The Australian Small Business Champion Awards have been proudly managed by Precedent Productions, a small business in its own right since their inception in 1999.
