24 WAIKATO BUSINESS NEWS October/November 2016 WESTPAC WAIKATO BUSINESS AWARDS Business awards finalists revealed The Westpac Waikato Business Awards finalists were announced at a special event in October at FMG Stadium Hamilton. Also announced were category winners for the Not-for-Profit and the Micro Business Categories. Waikato Chamber of Commerce chief executive, William Durning said the “mighty Waikato” was once again proudly celebrating an ever increasing number of successful and dynamic businesses. “The number and quality of entrants and finalists in this year’s awards endorses why we believe in backing business, because good businesses are part of the foundation to a great society benefiting all,” said Mr Durning. The success of the remodelled and repurposed awards was reflected in the number and quality of businesses that have put themselves forward. He said the awards were a celebration of the best the business community has to offer and was recognised by the business community itself. Mr Durning thanked the sponsors who had backed the chamber. He thanked the business owners, leaders and chief executives who had the courage to put themselves forward. “I know there are a lot of people who share my mentality that the days of ‘under the radar’ and quietly sitting and just keeping our success to ourselves are long over.” The category winners Westpac Supreme Business of the Year will be announced at the Awards Gala Dinner, on November 4 at Claudelands Event Centre. Tickets are on sale to the general public by contacting the Waikato Chamber of Commerce directly at help@waikatochamber. co.nz or 07 839 5895.
