The best Award that a<br />
journalist can get is a<br />
word of appreciation.<br />
Nothing gives us greater<br />
pleasure than a smile that<br />
indicates satisfaction.<br />
On that score, we are beholden<br />
to more than 200 guests who<br />
chose to write to us expressing<br />
their delight at the way in which<br />
the Eighth Annual BNZ-Indian<br />
Newslink Indian Business<br />
Awards turned out to be on<br />
Monday, November 23, <strong>2015</strong> at<br />
Sky City Convention Centre.<br />
We have chosen just a few to<br />
provide a broad representation<br />
of the dignitaries, businesses,<br />
manufacturers and professionals<br />
who attended the event. We<br />
have of course removed some<br />
accolades that made us shy!<br />
Steven Joyce, Economic Development<br />
Minister<br />
Each year the Indian<br />
Newslink Indian Business<br />
Awards get bigger and bigger<br />
with increasing number of<br />
guests and participants. This<br />
event alone will require a better<br />
and bigger Convention Centre.<br />
