Positive worker-bees achieve state recognition

Exceptional performance for the past year has earned Nambour's Birdwood Nursery the Best Large Production Nursery prize at the this year's annual Nursery and Garden Industry Queensland Awards.

Birdwood general manager Rory Cullinan said the award was evidence of what a positive workforce can achieve.

"We have some incredible people and the staff and skill set is of an exceptionally high standard," he said.

"This is a real recognition of the team and our commitment to providing a positive customer experience whilst enhancing those industries within which we work. We feel very privileged to be recipients of this award."

The Best Large Production Nursery award acknowledges producers with more than 15 full-time employees who display extraordinary business operation and dedication to work ethic on a daily basis.

Mr Cullinan attributes the nursery's success its owner Peter Young who started the business with his wife Sandra in 1978.

"We have a leader at the head of the business that has exceptional vision, combined with a wealth of technical knowledge and endless passion creating a very inspirational environment for all," he said.

Birdwood Nursery now advances to the national finals, with winners being announced in April.
