The finalists for the 2021 NZ Compare Awards have been announced today. The awards, which are supported by gold sponsor Movinghub, recognise excellence and
achievement in New Zealand’s broadband and energy sectors. Celebrating the outstanding service providers that deliver
the very best products and services for Kiwis.
Gavin Male, Founder and CEO of NZ Compare says, "We believe that 2021, in particular, is a time to recognize success and
celebrate NZ’s broadband and energy sectors. As essential services both industries have been working hard to keep NZ
connected during challenging times. These companies have come up with innovative solutions and put their customers first
and we’re delighted to see so many great brands put their best foot forward and enter the Awards."
Male continues, "We were thrilled by the record number of entries for this year’s awards, representing a wide range of
brands and companies. As always, the level of competition has been intense. Our judging panel were impressed by the
quality of entrants and selecting the winners from these finalists will be a tough task!"
