ANZ Regional Export Awards - honouring export champions
The annual ANZ Export Awards, celebrate New Zealand’s exporting excellence and will be held in all five Export New
Zealand regions this year – Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Wellington and Canterbury - with presentations taking
place at Award Gala Dinners during May and June.
“Established to recognise the ingenuity, sheer hard work and determination that is needed to achieve success in the
complexities of today’s international marketplace, winners have cultivated a point of difference to produce quality
goods and displayed the know-how to market them effectively”, Export New Zealand CEO, Bob Walters says.
The range of awards recognise growth and achievements made by innovative companies looking for a gap in the marketplace
and entries cover a vibrant mix of successful export businesses.
Previous winners reflect the diverse talents of our export achievers and include Shademakers N.Z. Ltd., Mactec Aerospace
International Ltd, Solid Energy and in 2005, 42Below Ltd., BBC Technologies Ltd, Stainless DownUnder NZ Ltd, Syft
Technologies Ltd (STL), Noske-Kaeser New Zealand, Trilogy Botanicals and Glidepath Ltd.
"The annual ANZ Export Awards recognise excellence among our exporters, giving the winners the confidence to set higher
goals," says ANZ Head of Trade and Transaction Services, Graham Mills.
"It is always a privilege to work alongside dynamic companies who can visualise their ambitions and the means of
achieving them. At ANZ we’re delighted with our long partnership with the export industry. We're looking forward to
seeing this year's crop of nominations."
The Emerging Exporter Award, specifically acknowledges new export success and is a core part of these events. Presented
to exporters who have been exporting substantially for less than three years, it focuses on leadership and direction,
excellence in marketing, export strategy and business planning, commitment to quality management and foreign exchange
growth.
