Awarded: Tracy Bialek of Ripple

Making a Ripple in the Australian business community

December 13th, 2007

Tracy Bialek, managing director of Ripple Products, has been announced winner of the 2007 (Victorian) Australian Government Innovation Award, for her ingenuity and innovation in business.

This follows her win earlier in the year for the 2007 (Victorian) Australian Government Micro Business Award.

The Awards are a part of the Telstra Business Awards program, which recognise Australia’s most outstanding businesses and business women.

Bialek started her business with a single product idea. The success of the ’Shower Timer’ has established Ripple Products in the environmental sector. Other products include the ’Water-Saving Bucket’ and
‘Enviro-Tips’ – both are educational solutions for water conservation.

All products are available on the website and through retail stores.

Aeron Chair’s new shades, Nightfall and Jasper, arrive with a sense of quiet cohesion – no bells and whistles, no loud technicolour; just two timeless, perfectly versatile near-neutrals. But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.
