We are thrilled to share this exciting news with our beloved community and supporters! Off The Rails, Byron Bay has been honoured once again with the prestigious Northern Rivers Regional Award for Excellence in Micro Business—winning for the second year in a row!
The Excellence in Micro Business Award recognises companies with fewer than five employees that have demonstrated business success and resilience over the past 12 months. Being acknowledged alongside other outstanding finalists is a testament to our dedication to delivering high-quality products, supporting sustainability, and making a positive impact in our local area.
Julian Simpson, our Owner and Operator, expresses his gratitude: “This recognition is a testament to our unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality products and making a meaningful difference in the Northern Rivers. We are incredibly proud of this achievement and extend our heartfelt thanks to our loyal clients, and the entire community.”
We are grateful to everyone involved in the awards, including Business NSW and Regional Director Jane Laverty, for their support of the Northern Rivers business community. A special thank you to Telstra for sponsoring our award and to our fantastic customers—your trust and support have been instrumental in our success. A big shoutout also goes to the Always Keen Productions team for their crucial PR and marketing contributions.
In addition to our win, we were honoured to be finalists in the Sustainability category, underscoring our deep commitment to sustainable practices at the heart of our reclaimed timber business. We take pride in breathing new life into salvaged wood and reducing waste through repurposing.
Participating in the Northern Rivers Regional Awards is about more than recognition; it’s about celebrating the innovation, resilience, and dedication of businesses that shape this vibrant community. We are excited to represent our region as state finalists at the NSW Business Awards in Sydney on October 30th.
Let’s continue pushing the envelope together, elevating the Northern Rivers business community to new heights. Thank you for being part of our journey as we build a stronger, more sustainable future. Together, we’ll keep making a positive impact and inspiring change.
