Top Award For Australia’s Best Manufacturing Magazine

Announcement posted by Bean Media Group 16 Nov 2010

Bean Media Group has received another award for its industry-leading business magazine, Australia’s Best Manufacturing, at the Publishers Australia Excellence Awards 2010.

Over the past 15 years, the awards have become the leading and most coveted magazine industry awards in Australia, judged and attended by key industry players. Comedian and ABC 702 breakfast radio host Adam Spencer was MC for the event, which saw Bean Media Group and Australia’s Best Manufacturing collect the award in the major category ‘B2B (Business-to-Business) Magazine of the Year’.

Australia’s Best Manufacturing received huge praise from the expert panel of judges, which included industry professionals from Google, Readers Digest and Australia Post. The magazine continues to impress and Australia’s Best Manufacturing is recognised by many as the leading manufacturing magazine in the country.

Steve Allen, Head Judge and Managing Director of both Essence Media and Fusion Strategy, praised the quality of this year’s entries. “The quality of entries was very high. Those that flourished need to be congratulated. As they say, if you can make it in the bad times, you can only flourish in the good times.

“These awards are the most varied and diverse I have been involved with, which made judges acutely aware of how different publishers were tackling the marketplace, especially in this extremely challenging year.”

Publishers Australia Chairman Geoff Hird agreed with Allen, stating, “Based on the number and quality of entries this year, it is clear the industry is not just surviving, but thriving in the landscape of transformation.”

Success for Bean Media and Australia’s Best Manufacturing is not new, however, this latest achievement at the Publishers Australia Awards further enhances the ongoing reputation of both Bean Media Group and the magazine itself.

Bean Media Group’s Managing Director Chris Dutton revealed his delight at securing the latest award for Australia’s Best Manufacturing. “It’s always nice to receive awards and praise, particularly from such a recognised association as Publishers Australia. The level of competition in the Excellence Awards 2010 was extremely high, and seeing as we only entered one major category, to achieve success in the ‘Business-to-Business Magazine of the Year’ category is a superb achievement.

Australia’s Best Manufacturing is widely regarded as the best manufacturing business magazine on the market, and this latest award goes a long way to highlight the success of this great title.”
