Entries are open for the 2020 Air New Zealand Cargo
ExportNZ Awards, for companies from Northland, Auckland and
Waikato keen to celebrate their global success
locally.
The added bonus is the entry process enables
exporters to look back over what they have achieved, what
they have learned along the way, and take some tips on where
they could improve based on expert judges’ feedback.
As
well as a site visit, judges take a deep dive into the
entrants companies to cover off all aspects of the business
from their processes and supply chain to financial
sustainability and leadership.
This year’s 11th annual
awards sees new categories introduced, merging goods and
services, and changing export revenue requirements to enable
companies of all sizes to enter.
A new ‘Rising Stars’
category, supported by Company-X, has also been added, to
celebrate up and coming companies that are part of the Excelerate100 programme. Entrants for
this category will be nominated by mentors from the
programme.
Last year exporters offering products and
services in manufacturing, beauty, biotech, tourism,
technology, pharmaceutical, innovation and food sectors
entered the awards, with the BDO Best Medium Business (for
services exports) Haka Tourism Group also being named the
Supreme Winner.
For Howick Limited, 2019 Ports of Auckland
Best Medium Business (for good exports) winner, the award
has been used to drive home their ‘best in the business’
positioning and has helped them with pitches for additional
business.
Entries for the Air New Zealand Cargo ExportNZ
Awards close on March 13. Once judges’ site visits have
been completed the list of entries is narrowed down to
finalists in each category by May 13, with winners announced
at the gala dinner on June 25.
