Congratulations to the Finalists in 2010 Westpac Waitakere Business Awards! Friday 9 July was a night to remember with close to 180 guests and plenty to celebrate for those businesses who have made it to the finalists stage.
Business is booming in West Auckland with a bumper number of entries in this year’s Westpac Waitakere Business Awards. Fifty-five entries have been selected as finalists by a panel of 11 judges for this year’s awards.
Head judge Chad Wilkie says the tough economic conditions last year prompted many businesses to work smarter. “Businesses are not only making changes to be sustainable, but are seizing new opportunities,” he says. The finalists now have to submit a more detailed entry and undergo a visit from the judges.
So we wish the finalists the best of luck as they prepare for the stage two submissions which will determine the 12 category winners and the Westpac Supreme Award winners.
See a quote from one of our finalists:
“We are so thrilled to get to the finals and can see the process will be very rewarding. Friday night was a great night and a thrill to be part of – thanks to you all for making it such a special night.” Kerry Dean - Managing Director, Leading Edge Services Limited
