Hellios Shortlisted for Two Prestigious Industry Awards
Recognised for innovation, transformation and leadership in supplier assurance.
Recognised for innovation, transformation and leadership in supplier assurance.

At Hellios, we believe that supplier assurance should be about more than ticking boxes. It’s about building trust, strengthening relationships, and creating opportunities for businesses of every size.
That’s why we’re thrilled to share that we’ve been shortlisted for two major industry awards this year. These nominations shine a light not only on the work of our team, but also on the incredible communities of buyers and suppliers who make FSQS and JOSCAR what they are today.
JOSCAR-AU: Finalist for SME Transformation and Change Award
Our JOSCAR-AU community has been named a finalist in the SME Transformation and Change Award by the Defence Teaming Centre.

JOSCAR-AU isn’t just a platform - it’s a thriving community. Together with the Department of Defence, 15 Defence primes, and almost 2,000 suppliers, we’re breaking down barriers, reducing red tape, and helping SMEs grow in the defence sector.
This recognition is really about the power of community. It celebrates suppliers learning from each other, primes finding trusted partners, and small businesses gaining access to opportunities that once felt out of reach.
Winners will be announced at the Gala Dinner on 5th December in Adelaide.

We’re honoured that Hellios has been shortlisted for Specialist Risk Company of the Year. This nomination is really about our communities who work together, support one another, and share knowledge every day. By collaborating in this way, our members are not only building stronger supply chains but also managing risk more effectively.
Colin Maund, CEO, Hellios

Hellios: Finalist for Specialist Risk Company of the Year
We’ve also been shortlisted for Specialist Risk Company of the Year at the CIR Risk Management Awards 2025.

This honour highlights our role in reimagining supplier risk management on a global scale. With FSQS and JOSCAR, we’ve built more than compliance tools - we’ve built governed communities where buyers and suppliers work side by side to raise standards and manage risks together.
By encouraging collaboration and transparency, our communities are helping industries strengthen resilience and stay ahead in complex supply chains.
Winners will be announced at the Awards Gala Dinner on 20th November in London.

What makes JOSCAR-AU powerful is the community behind it. Defence, primes, and suppliers are working together to cut through barriers and create real opportunities for SMEs to thrive. We’re delighted to provide an innovative solution for the defence industry that supports collaboration and growth.
Owen West, Director, Hellios (AU)
A Shared Celebration
These nominations aren’t just a milestone for Hellios - they’re a win for every member of our communities. They show what can happen when organisations come together with a shared vision: to simplify compliance, open opportunities, and build lasting confidence in supply chains.
We’re excited for the awards ceremonies ahead, but even more excited to keep pushing forward: transforming supplier assurance through innovation, collaboration, and community.
