Business of the Year Award

Business of the Year Award: CUSTOM NEON

The Geelong Business Excellence Awards is thrilled to have LBW Business + Wealth Advisors as a major sponsor again for 2022.

Also sponsoring the highly-esteemed Business of the Year Award, LBW Business + Wealth Advisors has a long and rich history with the Geelong Business Excellene Awards as well as the Geelong Chamber of Commerce.

The winner of this year’s Business of the Year Award is Custom Neon.

After winning awards in 2020 and 2021, Custom Neon has reigned supreme in 2022, taking out the coveted Business of the Year Award, as well as the Medium to Large Business Award.

Jake and Jess Munday, founders of Custom Neon, along with the rest of the team, have worked hard since its inception, providing high quality goods and exceptional service to Geelong, Victoria, Australia and now the world.

The idea for Custom Neon came to light after purchasing an LED neon sign for their son’s nursery. The venture quickly grew to the international business it is today.

The Business of the Year Award recognises organisations that are holistically successful. Judges looked at aspects including business achievements, marketing, customer service, people & culture and finances.

Having won the Digital Engagement Award in 2020 and the Medium to Large Business Award in 2021, as well as the Medium to Large Business Award in 2022, Custom Neon is no stranger to success.

The judges were impressed with the growth and expansion of Custom Neon.

“To start from their garage in 2018 and now have a global business, with USA and UK markets and onsite teams in those countries, is amazing,” the judges stated.

“Add to that the opening of an LA office and expansion of their North Geelong headquarters, it truly shows the strategic growth of the business.”

Custom Neon was the first in the world to launch a waterproof outdoor sign and have worked for the likes of Elon Musk, Paris Hilton and Kendall Jenner.

The judges believe Custom Neon’s financial management practices were second to none, with great financial knowledge from the whole finance team.

“Pretty good for a maternity leave project!”
