We are absolutely thrilled to share the fantastic news of being crowned the official winners of the NSW Wholesaler of the Year category for the 2023 Australian Beauty Industry Awards! This is a major achievement, and we couldn't be prouder to take out the win for the third time!
Launched in 2012, The Australian Beauty Industry Awards (ABIAs) set the benchmark for excellence in beauty on a state-by-state basis. Championing the best salons, spas and clinics and recognising distributors, like PBS across the country.
The ABIAs received a record 300-plus entries this year and are judged by an independent panel of 40 industry icons from the media, PR and beauty industries. The Awards culminate in an annual gala event at The Star, Sydney on Sunday, August 27, 2023, following Beauty Expo.
“This win is a special one for us because it was decided by popular vote, meaning that our salon partners took the time to vote for us,” said Lisa Williams, Co-Founder and General Manager of PBS.
“We're committed to providing a seamless service to our partner salons, spas, and clinics, from offering high-quality products and devices to ensuring our post-purchase, education and marketing support is absolutely unmatched.”
“Our goal is to provide our salon partners with everything they need to become the most profitable in the industry, while feeling supported every step of the way. This win has solidified our resolve to be the best distributor in not only the country but the world,” she continued.
Up against some seriously fierce competition from wholesalers and distributors all over the state, we were thrilled to not only take home the win for NSW Wholesaler of the Year for 2023 but to also be listed as the finalist for the Australian Wholesaler of the Year, to be announced at the ABIA Gala Dinner Evening in August.
This win truly means the world to the entire PBS team and our extended community. We're all about providing a complete package for our partnered salons, spas, and clinics., through offering top-notch brands, products, and devices, as well as endeavouring to always go the extra mile to ensure our post-purchase support is absolutely unmatched. From top-tier education and training programs to strategic & well-thought-out marketing strategies and materials, we give our partners all the tools and support they need to be standouts in the industry.
A huge part of that ethos stems from our remarkable Founders & Owners, Matt & Lisa Williams, who founded PBS on the mission to help our salon partners become the most profitable in the industry whilst feeling accepted, welcomed & supported within our PBS community.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote for us, emerging victorious is only possible thanks to our incredible salon partners, the trailblazers who nominated us and make all of this possible!
