The People's Choice Award for Personal Contribution to the Industry was presented to Albert Olley, CEO for NSW BusinessLink. Albert was praised by the voters as being a "visionary leader, who has not only transformed the business but brought the organisation to the forefront of Shared Services".

On winning the award, Albert described the experience as "overwhelming to be put out there and chosen by your peers as thought leading in this space, it's a real recognition for all the hard work we've put in to challenge ourselves, we didn't want to tweak or adjust, instead set the bar high for ourselves and then we went for it".
