Last night, September 14th, The Missing Link attended the 11th Annual ARN ICT Awards at the Hyatt Regency, Sydney.

Since its inception in 2013, the security division has experienced year on year growth, last year achieving the first place on [CRN’s Fast50](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/news/the-missing-link-is-australias-fastest-growing-it-company) and appearing at [#19 on the BRW Fast Starters list](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/news/the-missing-link-features-at-19-on-brws-fast-starter-list-for-2016). This year Aaron has grown his team by thirteen new staff members whilst continuing to forge new vendor partnerships, [open a Melbourne office](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/news/the-missing-link-expands-into-melbourne), speak frequently at events and conferences, and continue adding to our services portfolio like Australian-first services such as [ASD4aaS](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/news/the-missing-link-launches-asd-4-as-a-service).  Clare Burman, a valued member of staff for just over ten years, took home the Sales Excellence Award. It’s not only Clare’s record sales growth that helped her win the award but also her dedication to her clients and the ICT industry. Public recognition for her dedication and professionalism to the IT industry is long overdue, especially the incredible example she sets as a female role model in a male-dominated industry. Congratulations to all the finalists, to Clare and Aaron; and to the whole The Missing Link team, no award is purely an individual effort.  **Author** [The Missing Link](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/news/author/the-missing-link) share [**](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://www.themissinglink.com.au/news/and-the-winners-are) [**](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.themissinglink.com.au%2Fnews%2Fand-the-winners-are) [**](https://www.twitter.com/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.themissinglink.com.au%2Fnews%2Fand-the-winners-are) ![The Missing Link](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/hubfs/TML-Infy-Core-Logo-RGB-Org%20-%20Edited.png) - Featured Services - [SmartCLOUD](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/smartcloud) - [SmartPROTECT](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/smartprotect) - [Application Security ](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/application-security) - [RPA](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/ai-automation-services/ai-powered-automation/rpa-as-a-service) - [Managed Detection ](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/managed-detection-and-response) - [Managed IT ](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/managed-it-services) - [Cloud Security Services](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/cloud-security-services) - [Managed IT Security](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/managed-security-services) - [Managed IT Sydney](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/managed-it-services-sydney) - [Managed IT Melbourne](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/managed-it-services-melbourne) - Legal - [Terms & Conditions​](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/terms-and-conditions) - [Fair Use Policy](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/fair-use-policy) - [Terms of Use](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/terms-of-use) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/privacy-policy) - [Acceptable Usage Policy](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/acceptable-usage-policy) - [Cookie Policy](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/cookie-policy) - [Vulnerability Disclosure Policy](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/vulnerability-disclosure-policy) - More - [Contact Us ​](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/contact-us) - [Careers](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/careers) - [Government ​](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/government) - [Sitemap ](https://www.themissinglink.com.au/our-sitemap) ##### Acknowledgement of Country The Missing Link acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live.
