The country’s top exporters for 2003 will be announced at the Export Awards dinner in Christchurch next week (June 12), with one of the 31 finalists being named New Zealand’s Supreme Exporter of the Year.
The full list of 31 finalists and the categories they are competing for are listed below.
Trade New Zealand Acting CEO Rod MacKenzie says Awards will be presented across nine export sector categories – naming the Exporter of the Year in each category.

One of these nine category winners will then become New Zealand’s Supreme Exporter for 2003. An award will also be presented to Trade New Zealand’s emerging exporter of the year.* “Trade New Zealand’s annual Export Awards recognise New Zealand’s brightest export stars and their outstanding achievements,” says Mr MacKenzie. “They are a great opportunity to showcase inspirational companies, both large and small, that are achieving success internationally through smart business practices, innovation and plain hard work.
“All 31 Export Award winners are to be congratulated on their success so far – their Awards are a major achievement. Now we wish them the best of luck for the big night naming the Exporters of the Year next week.”
The Export Awards dinner is the climax of the day-long Trade New Zealand National Export Symposium, also being held in Christchurch. The Export Awards are sponsored by DHL.
