Awards back, backing business

Applications are open for the Farmer Autovillage Tauranga Business Awards. Following a hiatus since 2022, Tauranga Chamber of Commerce’s flagship event honours the best of business in the western Bay of Plenty.

“We are so happy to see the return of Tauranga’s premier business awards as we put a spotlight on the incredible success stories that are making the Bay of Plenty thrive,” the chamber’s CEO, Matt Cowley, confirmed.

“While the economy has been tough for many, the awards showcase inspiring stories as many people are eager to find out about those who have been performing well despite the economic challenges.”

To be held at Mercury Baypark, February 13, the awards will adopt the theme ‘Navigating New Horizons’ with the addition of three new categories: Employer of the Year, Emerging Leader of the Year, and Excellence in Industry Achievement. Private, public and not-for-profit entities are all eligible with specific criteria for each category.

The event promises an evening of celebration and recognition for the region’s business community, Cowley adds.

“While it’s a tough economy for some right now, what a way to launch into 2025 with a celebration of the region’s greatest success stories.”

Mike Farmer, managing director of naming rights sponsor Farmer Autovillage, is proud to support the awards.

“We believe in the importance of acknowledging the hard work and dedication of businesses in our region,” he said. “These awards provide a fantastic platform to showcase the talent and innovation that Tauranga has to offer.”

Applications are open until midnight, November 7 – see www.tauranga.org.nz/awards for details.
