Build Clean CEO, Sam Ackland, recently named the 2022 Small Business Champion Entrepreneur
Over the weekend the Small Business Champion Awards kicked off its two day event, recognising the grit and determination of the countries SMEs. The pinnacle of the event was the announcement of Australia’s Small Business Champion Entrepreneur.
Taking time to thank his Build Clean team’s in Adelaide and Brisbane along with is business partner Jack Kempson, Ackland left the room wanting to know more about what the future holds for Build Clean.
Backstage Ackland proceeded to share insights into Build Clean’s national expansion. It is now well underway with the next cities being Melbourne and Sydney in the not so distant future. With a smile on his face Ackland acknowledged the innate difficulties involved with such audacious goals, quoting in his best Tommy Shelby accent ‘my ambition knows no bounds’ (Peaky Blinders – Netflix). It was easy to see how much this leader enjoyed having a bit of fun whilst still sharing depth to his conversation.
On a more personal note Sam Ackland shared his beliefs and ideals for what it takes to be a successful leader. His emphasis on love, compassion, gratitude and fulfilment were undeniable. Stating we are yet to see the “greatest leaders of all time” as they are still “understanding their own capacities for integrating mindfulness and achievement.” Sam Ackland left us with his overarching philosophy, to lead with love.
The weekend is put on by Precedent Productions with support from major sponsors including Nine Plus and Nova Employment.
