Celebrating the best of Waitaki business
Congratulations to all the wonderful category winners, runners-up and nominees at the recent Waitaki Business Awards, where we celebrated the many achievements of businesses across the district.
This special evening was held at St Kevin’s College, and the exceptional quality of the event was thanks in no small part to the amazing local suppliers who contributed.
There was a real sense of unity, community, celebration and inclusiveness on the night, and the Waitaki community got in behind the Awards to support local businesses with positivity and enthusiasm. Special mention to all those who took part in the public vote – an incredible 15,000 votes were cast to determine the category winners!
