Newmarket is preparing to celebrate its best businesses from across its precinct – with a wide range of enterprises among the finalists announced for the 2022 Newmarket Business Awards.
The rigorous judging process whittled down entries to an elite group of finalists across 12 categories. The 2022 awards look to be the most competitive in the awards’ ten year history.
The independent judging panel includes some of New Zealand’s most prominent business leaders and influencers. Among the line-up is Anne Norman (James Pascoe Group), Stewart Sherriff (Former CEO 2degrees), Anthony Hoy Fong (Celebrity Chef), Cameron Bagrie (Bagrie Economics), Kelly Bennett (One Plus One), Koro Dickinson (Poutama Trust), Elena Kim (PWC), Michelle Vogt (Mint Consulting), Wynnis Armour (Armour Consulting), and four expert mystery shopper judges.
Sponsor judges include Jacqui Hourigan from humm, as well as a panel from Rotary Newmarket.
“Newmarket is roaring back into life after a bumpy couple of years,” says Newmarket Business Association CEO, Mark Knoff-Thomas (pictured). “The high calibre of entries this year is confirmation, once again, that we have some of the best of the best in business. In some categories we had over 20 entries – it was a tough gig for the judges. It is always a superb celebration, and a night for Newmarket to stand proud.”
The category winners, as well as the People’s Choice, Newmarket Legend Award, humm Crush Award and the Supreme Winner, will be announced at the awards evening to be held at Cordis on Friday 1st July.
The awards are proudly sponsored by humm.
