Shattky wins big at the Hawke's Bay Business Awards
Visique Shattky Optometrists is the proud winner of two prestigious awards at the Westpac Hawke's Bay Chamber of Commerce Business Awards 2009.
The awards chief judge, Rick Cranswick, who is also chief executive of accounting firm WHK Coffey Davidson, said that finalist entries had shown innovation and organisation among businesses in Hawke's Bay.
The awards are the pinnacle of achievement for businesses in the region and Shattkys made it a clean sweep when it won two awards for which it was nominated as finalists, 'Excellence in Retail' and 'Small Business'.
"Shattky's focus, passion and tenacity has meant that the business is well positioned to face the challenges of the future", says Operations Manager Julie Eagle.
"Our systems are robust and our culture is strong with a firm focus on the needs of our customers" she said.
Shattky Optometrists give back to the Hawke's Bay community in many ways such as free children's vision screening in schools and free public glaucoma screening twice a year. The practice is also a leader in Hawke's Bay optometry by investing in the latest disease detection technology, often unavailable elsewhere in Hawke's Bay.
Shattky Optometrists provide a highly trained optical team and offer superior customer choice by stocking the largest range of fashion frames in the region.
And what advice would Shattkys give someone starting a business? Focus with passion and pay attention to the detail. Make sure you are delivering the product or service that the customer wants. Keep changing and be at the front. Secure business mentors to help your development. Know your competition and be where they are not.
