On Thursday, 14th August, ISH24 Safety & Rescue was named the 2025 Business of the Year Award, proudly sponsored by Bendigo Bank.
Paul Olsen, General Manager at ISH24 said:
“This is a complete shock. I really don’t know what to say. This is enormous for us as a Bendigo-based business; just getting the nomination was a really good buzz for our team. Everybody who works for us is passionate, and we have an amazing culture. We never say no to our clients; there is no request or problem we are not willing to solve. During the pandemic, being Victorian-based was hard, so what we did strategically was recruit people in each state, and that allowed us to maintain the quality of service but also attract new clients. We’ve gone from a team of 5 people 8 years ago to a team of 300 strong today.”
ISH24 Safety & Rescue also won the National/Global Footprint Award sponsored by La Trobe University.
