It is with great pride that Bill (the Founder of W.M. Flynn Pty Ltd) received the Ballarat Inaugural Business Achievement award at a Gala dinner held on the 25th of August, 2011. In receiving the award, Bill was very humbled and noted in his speech "that to be successful in life you need to surround yourself with smart people with the same vision". A great night was held at the Mercure Ballarat with around 600 people in attendance. W.M. Flynn Pty Ltd would like to thank Commerce Ballarat for bestowing this award on Bill and also wish to congratulate all the other winners from the night, most especially Haymes Paint who took out the Business of the Year award and who are also a leading family business in the community.
