ACP Newsagency of the Year

nx_gympie.jpgI didn’t stay for the ACP Connections conference dinner last week and missed seeing Warrick and Jo Hoskings and the team at newsXpress Gympie received long overdue praise from ACP and their peers by taking out the top award.

As the photo shows, Warrick lit the room with his Connections Emerald green suit - and this is what I really want to blog about.

Warrick has fun in his business every day. He makes it his business to have fun. It rubs off on team members and customers. In a country town with seven newsagencies, the fun focused strategy is working.

While his business faces the challenges all of us face in our newsagencies, by riding above that with an attitude of enjoying the business helps keep focus on a key point of difference.

Take a look at the photo and see a newsagent who makes it is business every day to enjoy his business.

    I would personnaly like to congratulate Warwick & Jo for this fantastic achievement. I know them both and certainly agree that they both know how to enjoy their business and themselves. More people need to step back and take a closer look at how you can have a successful business, and have a hell of a lot of fun at the same time.
    They deserve every success that comes their way!
    Well Done Warwick & Jo
