Broadband Solutions on the lookout for investment opportunities

  • Written by: Tom Davey


30 October 2015: A fast launch is one thing and continued success is another, but ongoing rapid expansion is a business rarity. Last night, upon the announcement of the SmartCompany Smart50 winners, Broadband Solutions entered historic territory becoming the only company to have been recognised in the 2013, 2014 and 2015 BRW Fast100 as well as the 2014 and 2015 Smart50.

Broadband Solutions was awarded number 31 in this year's BRW Fast100 and number 15 in SmartCompany’s Smart50, reinforcing its status as one of Australia’s fastest growing companies. The company was also inducted into the Smart50 hall of fame, taking home the prestigious Smart and Lasting award.

“This is recognition of the quality of our business model. Three years of recognition in a row proves that this growth isn't just luck. It's proof of the value that Australian businesses find in great customer service and competitive pricing,” said Sam Bashiry, Managing Director of Broadband Solutions.

“Many businesses talk about customer service and listening to their customers, but few actually walk the walk as well as they profess. Our growth can be directly attributed to our ability to follow through on our promises.” said Mr Bashiry.

2015 saw Broadband Solutions’ revenue jump from $10 million to $15.5 million following a two pronged campaign designed to attract new customers and maximise product penetration with existing clients.

“This year more of our customers are using more than one of our products. This is an area in which we shine. The way our products have been designed means that they complement each other well. One of the key ways we develop new products is by asking our customers what will help them do business more effectively. The result is a suite of products that integrate seamlessly with our clients’ business models.

The future is looking bright for Broadband Solutions. The company has an exciting project in the works that will see the company enter a brand new market.

“We have developed a very exciting new advertising platform that is ready to roll out. We are currently in the final stages of testing and are expecting to have the product available in early 2016. We don’t want to ruin the surprise but I can say that a recent announcement by one of the big media players has reinforced the viability of this product,” said Mr. Bashiry.

2015 Premier’s NSW Export Awards

  • Written by: Richelle Ward


The Export Council of Australia (ECA) is pleased to recognise the Export Award winners announced at one of Sydney’s most prestigious presentation events - the Premier’s NSW Export Awards.

The Awards recognise New South Wales companies for their contribution to the state and national economy.

As a leading advocate for international trade, the ECA, in conjunction with the NSW Government is honoured to manage this state wide competition where nominees secure their reputation on the world stage.

Chief Executive Officer, ECA Lisa McAuley said “given the announcement on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), acknowledging exporters is vital in building awareness of these new market opportunities available to business owners. We are seeing more and more new companies that are exporting their goods and services with excellent results.

“NSW exporters have a long and positive future when it comes to trade. Given the recent signing of Free Trade Agreements (FTA’s) now is the time to focus on how we can help build on Australia’s trade capabilities and encourage more companies to look at the global opportunities that are opening up,” Ms McAuley said, adding “We need to take advantage of the market opportunities created by the North Asian FTA’s and now the potential of the TPP Agreement and recognise the success of those clever companies that are really making waves overseas.”

More than 85 applicants vied for one of 12 industry specific categories and 8 state based awards that recognise emerging exporters, leadership, innovation, and above all else export excellence.

In a room abuzz with excitement, more than 650 guests witnessed Nuix take out the coveted Premier’s NSW Exporter of the Year Award.

The Export Awards program would not be possible without the ongoing support of its loyal sponsors: NSW Government, ANZ, Austrade, AusIndustry, Australian Institute of Export, Australia Post and StarTrack, Efic, Export Growth China, Fial, HiFX, HSBC, Hunt & Hunt Lawyers, Insync Personnel, MSM Sales Specialists, The University of Sydney and VChina.
