Tauranga-based business consultant Helen Webley, of Bay Business Support, has won both Partner of the Year and the Gold Sales Hall of Fame award at the recent MYOB awards.
Bay Business Support is an installation, sales and support service for MYOB users covering the Bay of Plenty, which Ms Webley set up 12 years ago.
"I feel so humbled and surprised that my business has won this award," she said.
Formerly an office manager who learned MYOB, Ms Webley said she slid sideways into creating her own business.
"I was doing administration, then started helping other people, then I realised there was a business in this and have gradually built it up," she said.
