Living the Theme: ‘Grow Local, Go Global’
This year’s awards theme, "Grow Local, Go Global," speaks directly to our DNA. We have always believed that world-class excellence can be nurtured right here in Brunei.
Over the years, we’ve taken that belief and tested it beyond our shores, serving a growing regional portfolio and establishing a permanent presence in East Malaysia.
When our Principal Consultant, Allen Ang, placed 3rd in the Toastmasters World Championship of Public Speaking and achieved Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) status, it wasn't just a personal victory. It served as a global "proof of concept" that the training and development principles we teach every day at home can stand tall on any international stage.
"PBBA is not only about recognising achievement, but also about setting benchmarks for business excellence. This year’s theme reflects a pathway for Bruneian enterprises to strengthen their foundations at home while building the capabilities, confidence, and readiness to pursue opportunities beyond the local market over time."
— Daniel Leong, Acting CEO of BEDB
A Shared Victory
No award is ever won in isolation. This milestone belongs to a much larger community:
To our clients, participants, and partners: Thank you for trusting us with your growth and letting us collaborate with you.
To our team: Thank you for your tireless commitment, passion, and belief in our mission.
To BEDB, the PBBA team and all sponsors involved: Our sincere appreciation for this immense honour and for championing the passion that local businesses bring to Brunei’s economic diversification.
We applied for both the Services and Innovation categories this year. While we were shortlisted for and won Services, it reminds us that innovation is a continuous journey. We will keep refining our standards, lifting our benchmarks, and pushing the boundaries of what local services can achieve.
Here’s to continuing to grow local, creating meaningful impact, and carrying Bruneian excellence proudly beyond our borders! 🏆
