In this small country town, run by locals for locals, Beaudesert Furniture Court has exceeded expectations and has won the Top Shop award at this year’s Furniture Court Awards Night.
Competing against 30 Furniture Court stores in Queensland and New South Wales, Manager Selina Harding was amazed to take home the win on behalf of the Beaudesert store.
“It was a shock; I didn’t think that we would take that out,” Selina said.
“I knew that we had a very good year, but I didn’t know that we would get the Top Shop – that was pretty exciting.”
Beaudesert Furniture Court qualified in several categories for a high percentage of growth, high quality store presentation, and more.
Selina was honoured to accept this award and is extremely grateful to the Beaudesert community for their continuous support.
“It goes to show just how much we are supported by the local community because, without them, we wouldn’t have our growth,” she said.
“We work hard here to provide a really good service for the community, so the fact that that’s paid off in that way, it just shows exactly what we’ve done for the year – we’ve got an award to show for it.”
The family-owned business has been operating for over seven years with Selina being there since day one.
“The staff that work here, we all live local, so it’s one of those things that you feel proud walking around the streets knowing you’ve done well by everyone in town,” Selina said.
“Particularly, there’s a lot more housing developments that have come in, and each year, we’ve just had more and more growth.”
“It’s good to see and it’s a reflection from people coming into the community and wanting to shop local,” she added.
Beaudesert Furniture Court will continue to offer services to the Beaudesert community in hopes the locals will reciprocate their support.
“With the roadworks going on at the moment, we couldn’t have gotten Top Shop without the local community,” Selina said.
“If they can still continue to support us, we are still open; we still want to service the community just like before – so please don’t forget that we’re here.”
