Gabsten Technologies , was announced winners of the ‘Top 20 Small Business’ 2016 Award. In its eighth year, the South African Small Business Awards are intended to acknowledge the entrepreneurial spirit of our small businesses and highlight the pivotal role that these businesses play in our economy.

The National Small Business Chamber (NSBC) recently held their gala breakfast for South Africa’s Top 20 Small Business & Entrepreneurship Award winners and finalists at Montecasino in Johannesburg. As one of the winners in the Top 20 Small Businesses in South Africa, Gabsten Technologies was recognised for their continuous hard work and commitment to the community.

Speaking on the importance of these awards, Mike Anderson, Founder and CEO of the NSBC explains, “This is the ultimate recognition. It’s no secret that the life of a business owner or entrepreneur is filled with challenges and that only a small percentage of these businesses survive the first thousand days. These awards serve as further encouragement for small businesses to keep going and to never give up on their quest for success. We believe that every winner can be extremely proud of what they have achieved. The 2016 submissions were of an incredible standard, making the voting process extremely hard. We are humbled by the hard work, dedication and innovation adopted by all the entries submitted.”

“We are pleased and proud to be included in this line up of phenomenal local businesses,” says Iniel Dreyer, Managing Director at Gabsten Technologies, “It just goes to show that dreams do come true. This award is recognition of how important it is to run small businesses and is acknowledgment of all the work we do in empowering other small businesses that resell our products. Without these partnerships, we would never have received this award. Being recognised in the Top 20 Small Businesses in SA has given us an incredible platform to expand our business due to the invaluable publicity that comes along with the award. What can other small businesses learn from us? Keep dreaming and follow through with hard work. Have a plan and stick to it, work to the goals you have set and give your business time to grow,” Dreyer concludes.
