Awards 2006 - A big thank you

This post is going to be a Big Thank You post – so here goes:   

Last night my firm, Goodman Jones, won the Accountancy Age Award for Best Use of Internet: Practice.  I’m delighted. I’ve really enjoyed collaborating with a great team on the main website, Twinfield powered online accounting and other internet technologies we use. 

Special thanks go out to David Terrar and Dennis Howlett.  David put in a tremendous effort in all areas and comes highly recommended.  Checkout his company’s website at D²C for what he can offer.  Dennis Howlett used his skills on editing, redrafting and honing the website content.  Dennis also provided great insight and analysis.  He and his blog continue to be a source of inspiration.

Thank you to all the blog readers that have supported this blog since its humble beginnings.  Many thanks for taking time to read and comment. It was a special pleasure to finally meet Stefan Töpfer from Winweb.  Stefan’s company sponsored the award and it was great to meet him and his fellow Small Business Blog contributer Emily Coltman.

I would also like to thank Tribal Internet especially Glenn Jenner the designer of the main website and not forgetting the GJ Team (Daren, Larry, Julian, Peter, Raymond, Katy, Yolanda & Kim.)

Finally, my wife Sue who has not only put up with me getting up at unearthly hours in the morning, but has been the sanity check on pretty much every idea - a big thanks.

Thank you to you all.

....And of course to your mum for having the grace to have given birth to you, your dog for being there to listen to your practice 'thankyou' speeches...

I almost can't bring myself to ask - but I'm going to have to - exactly what were you doing so early in the mornings?

very many congratulations Phillip.

Hi Heather

Many thanks. What was I doing in the mornings? Content and design for both the GJ website and the blog mainly. Plus the small details that all add up.

Loved your podcast by the way, pleased to see you've done another.

Congratulations. I was at the awards dinner but missed meeting you. I did bump into Dennis Howlett and suggested he should get out more... Dennis, are you listening?

Hope to catch up with you sometime, Philip.

Hi Jyoti

Thanks, for your kind words.

I'm sorry I missed you and would have enjoyed meeting you in person. Hopefully, we will catch up with each other soon. In the meantime, I'll be reading your blog and your reports for the M Institute.

Thanks for your words and the advert. It was a great night - I've never seen Larry look so chuffed!
