Two new awards This year also saw the introduction of two new awards. The People & Culture Award asked the public to nominate businesses that they felt, either as either staff or customers, demonstrated a great culture within. The nominated businesses then went out for public voting. The Chamber said the inaugural award received a huge response with winner Mount Skin & Body receiving just over a third of the total votes. The other new award was the Continuous Improvement/ Lean Award, which recognises the need for companies to be improving processes and systems to gain the productivity benefit. Award criteria said this could be through small incremental bites or with a breakthrough development. The inaugural winner of the award was Bake Shack, which makes and distributes between 10,000 to 15,000 pies every day, which are then delivered throughout New Zealand. The company was constantly looking for ways to improve the process, while maintaining their high quality, the judges said. “This year’s entrants came in all shapes and sizes, but in their DNA is a set of common traits of high performance,” said Pannell. “Among these is a relentless desire to deliver value to their customers and people, coupled with the continuing motivation to be better tomorrow than they are today. “What’s been particularly impressive is the extent to which businesses are actively supporting their people and their communities. “It’s clear to me that being a business in the Bay means something special - that it is both a privilege and a responsibility. We wish all applicants and finalists a successful 2021.” Westpac Tauranga Area Commercial Manager, Clare Basire congratulated the winners. “We’ve been amazed by the resilience and innovation of businesses big and small, who have connected with their customers and communities, overhauled their operations and adapted to the ‘new normal’ in a matter of weeks and months.” WINNERS OF THE ‘EMERGING BUSINESS’ AWARD – TAURANGA BUSINESS AWARDS 2020 STRUCTURALLY ENGINEERED ALUMINIUM PERGOLA SYSTEMS Continuous Improvement/Lean Award winners Bake Shack.
