Northland Top Businesses – The Finalists

The Westpac Northland Business Excellence Awards winners will be announced on 31st October 2008 at a Gala ceremony at Forum North in Whangarei
This year every entry was sent to the Massey School of Business for an analysis of the entry form. The Massey Judging panel recommended finalists in each category and these were then sent to the Local judging team in Northland for further scrutiny.
The Finalists for the event were announced at the Urlich, Mcnabb Kilpatrick Awards Cocktail party on the 1st October.
One notable judging comment from the judges was the ‘closeness’ of scoring across all the categories between finalists and non finalists. The other notable fact is the high number of businesses represented from the Far North which as a district appears to be punching above its weight as a ‘business orientated district’ in the region.
Please take the time to pass on your congratulations to the following businesses for achieving finalist status in this years award.
