Business innovator is on Cloud 9

BRYANSTON - FIRST National Bank hosted its inaugural Business Innovation Award Ceremony at The Forum in Bryanston.

The 2015 FNB Business Innovation Award was presented to the CEO of GreatSoft CRM, Bruce Morgan who will receive the opportunity to gain business insight at entrepreneur support organisation Endeavour South Africa’s prestigious International Selection Panel to be hosted in San Francisco later this year.

The International Selection Panel is a conference inviting 21 entrepreneurs from nine different countries to network and rub shoulders with some of the big names in the international business world through exclusive access to Endeavour’s network of mentors and volunteers to help new business entries succeed.

Morgans’ Bedfordview-based business develops and implements cloud-based technology for accounting businesses. The company was selected by a highly-experienced panel of judges because of the company’s economic and high job creation potential, industry-leading innovation, the quality of governance as well as its social and environmental impact.

CEO of FNB Business, Michael Vacy-Lyle said, “The company’s unique business model enables it to scale rapidly and sustainably, with great potential to enter new markets.”

An ecstatic Morgan said, “The FNB Business Innovation Award is a fantastic achievement for us. It validates the work that our team continues to do on a daily basis. Five years ago we reviewed the course of our business and it is great to see our efforts paying off. We are thrilled with this accolade and look forward to the opportunities ahead.”

Managing director of Endeavour South Africa, Catherine Townshend was delighted for GreatSoft CRM and said the International Selection Panel would be a great opportunity for the business as it will create significant relationships with global business leaders.

She added, “We congratulate Bruce and equally applaud all the entrepreneurs who took part in this exciting initiative.”
