Trilby Misso wins Telstra Queensland Business Award

28 August 2009

Trilby Misso has become the first Queensland law firm to win a prestigious Telstra Queensland Business Award.

The Brisbane-based firm was honoured with the Panasonic Australia Medium Business Award at the Telstra presentation dinner at the Hilton Hotel on 28 July 09. Trilby Misso CEO Graeme McFadyen said the award was a tremendous recognition of the achievements of the firm’s hardworking staff.

“We are extremely proud to become the first Queensland law firm to win a Telstra business award and the honour has come in the same year that our esteemed founder Trilby Misso passed away at the age of 92,” Mr McFadyen said.

“The firm entered the Telstra awards specifically to achieve recognition for the efforts and accomplishments of our staff and this honour is all their doing.

“Trilby Misso has recognised that to consistently deliver genuinely outstanding client service we need to build and maintain a supportive workplace culture so our staff would be motivated and enthusiastic about what we do and how we do it.

“And it has worked a treat. We have achieved a remarkably productive workplace where client needs are foremost thanks to our values program and the very positive attitude and enthusiasm of our staff.

“They deliver serious competitive advantage to the firm. Their productivity and high level of job satisfaction means our staff turnover is also half the industry average.”

The other finalists in the medium business category won by Trilby Misso were McInnes Wilson Lawyers, Ritek Building Solutions, Technigro Pty Ltd and Urban Art Projects.
