ELK x TELSTRA BUSINESS AWARDS

We are so excited to announce that ELK has won the 2017 Telstra National Medium Business of the Year Award.

We are proud to have been the only Victorian business to win a national award and we were so honoured to share the night with some of the most inspiring, creative independent businesses in Australia. Together we are contributing to our community and economy and the chance to celebrate the entrepreneurial, hard working Australian spirit was truly wonderful.

We all should be proud of the more than two million small and medium businesses who are Australia's major employers and the spirit of our country. For us it is time to celebrate and reflect on the past 13 years and thank you for your support, for championing Australian business and for joining us on our journey.

We are so pleased to share all the wonderful messages of support we received from the ELK community in the lead up to winning the 2017 Telstra Victorian Medium Business Award.
