ActionCOACH founder and CEO Brad Sugars presented this award at the awards dinner held on Wednesday, February 11th, at the Gold Coast International Hotel in Queensland’s stunning holiday destination – Gold Coast.

“Ashley represents the “crème de la crème” of Business Coaches within our community and has been a great example for his counterparts all over the world - for many years now,” Sugars said.

The finalists for this category included Ian Lane, Mark Blume, Wayne Gillan, Jeremy Hutchings, Ali Minbashian and Gendro Salim.

Based on his performance, Thomson has maintained a spot in the top 1% of Business Coaches around the world. He believes that business coaching is a dynamic process and all kinds of businesses can benefit from it.
