From the Archives: Winning the 2017 Professional Services Award

While Dynamo6 first took flight in Auckland's Icehouse offices, Hamilton is the city we chose to call home. After making the move to the Waikato, the Hamilton CBD became central to our story—from our first local office in Garden Place to our long-time base on Ward Street. Since early 2023, we've settled into our new HQ on a whole floor in Block C of the MADE precinct.

Why We Love the 'Tron

The livelihood of the streets, the amazing cafes and restaurants to choose from for team lunches on Fridays; how can you beat it? With a modern team, this vibrancy is what we thrive off.

When we heard of Hamilton Central’s CBD Success Awards, we knew it would be a fun night regardless.

A Night with Hamilton’s Finest

Held on September 6th, 2017, at the beautiful Riverbank Lane on Victoria Street, the stunning space was festively decorated for the occasion. The CBD awards saw Hamilton’s finest gather together to eat (shout-out to Milton’s Canteen), drink, and celebrate the awesome city it’s becoming!

While all this was fantastic, the awards were the highlight. Dynamo6 was nominated in two categories: the Professional Services Award, which recognises excellence in delivering a professional service, and the Improved CBD Site Award.

Thank You!

When they announced Westpac as highly commended and NAI Harcourts as the runner-up, we never thought Dynamo6 would follow the words, “and the winner is…” but it did! After some excited, and honestly, stunned silence, we collected our newest office decoration (we mean trophy) and thanked our fans.

The Professional Services Award from the Hamilton Central Business Association meant a lot to us then, and it still does. It was early validation that our customer-centric philosophy was translating into our actions. The stereotype of awkward, no-fun engineers is completely debunked in our office, and within our customer interactions. It’s not a rare sight to have one of our clients popping up for a chat and a cup of tea, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

“So, What Do You Guys Do?”

We got asked this a couple of times that night, and it’s a question worth answering.

Long story short: we deliver Digital Transformation.

We partner with organisations to get to the heart of what they’re trying to achieve, build a clear strategic roadmap, and then execute on it. Our teams are specialists in helping organisations transition to modern cloud-based solutions, building custom software that solves real-world problems, and keeping their environments secure. We then offer ongoing managed support to ensure their IT systems are healthy and continue to evolve with them.

From Then to Now

That award marked a huge milestone in what was an epic year for Dynamo6. Since then, our team has grown, and our capabilities have deepened, but our commitment to providing awesome service to our clients and our city remains the same.

If you're looking for a partner who is as committed to your success as we are to ours, explore our range of services and let's have a chat.

Editor's Note: We're dusting off this post from our 2017 archives. While a lot has changed since then—including our office location and the size of our team—the customer-centric philosophy that earned us this award remains at the very heart of who we are today.
