a testimony to the calibre of Pacific business people operating in Aotearoa, New Zealand who are succeeding.
“Our thanks to all the businesses who took the time to enter the awards. The quality of the businesses that entered was
outstanding. The stories of our entrants are inspiring, many having overcome the challenges of Covid to grow their
business as well as supporting the Pacific community with employment and service.” says Interim CEO, Tracey Smith.
“Our thanks to the independent judging panel who have worked tirelessly to review and select our finalists for the
highest number of entries in the history of the awards, with over 400 entries. We are looking forward to recognising our
