to when it comes to overall<br />
excellence in business,” Mr<br />
Durning said. The judges<br />
said: Foster Construction is<br />
a well-managed and planned<br />
business, successfully operating<br />
in a challenging industry.<br />
The company’s Vision of<br />
'Stronger Community through<br />
solid foundations' - and its<br />
Core Purpose 'to develop,<br />
maintain and strengthen relationships<br />
and deliver property<br />
solutions that provide the best<br />
outcomes for business, community<br />
and our people', have<br />
enshrined Foster Construction<br />
as one of <strong>Waikato</strong>’s most iconic<br />
business’s.<br />
The implementation of<br />
profit distribution to a charitable<br />
entity for community<br />
aspects is to be commended.<br />
Foster Construction has<br />
excellent leadership, a commendable<br />
focus on training<br />
and developing its team and<br />
commitment to the <strong>Waikato</strong><br />
community.<br />
In announcing the <strong>2017</strong><br />
Laureates to the <strong>Waikato</strong><br />
<strong>Business</strong> Hall of Fame Mr<br />
Durning said “We felt that it<br />
was more than appropriate to<br />
recognise the significant contribution<br />
that Bill Gallagher<br />
Snr and Brian Perry have<br />
played in establishing businesses<br />
that have not only been<br />
commercially successful, but<br />
also have equally recognised<br />
the importance of giving back<br />
to their community. This truly<br />
holistic view of how good<br />
business is conducted is something<br />
that is very much in the<br />
DNA of doing business in the<br />
<strong>Waikato</strong>. We also felt that<br />
through a lifetime of following<br />
your passion and very simply<br />
doing a job the best way<br />
that you could, the impact that<br />
Sir Patrick Hogan and Cambridge<br />
Stud has had, not only<br />
on Cambridge and <strong>Waikato</strong><br />
but also the New Zealand<br />
thoroughbred industry could<br />
not go any longer without acknowledgement.<br />
It is worth<br />
reflecting on the fact that our<br />
region has had such an impact<br />
over many generations, it is no<br />
wonder that we are known as<br />
The Mighty <strong>Waikato</strong>.”<br />
