Why Should I Enter?

The Business Awards are here to help develop a framework of excellent business practice in Tai Tokerau. The entry is loosely based off of the International Baldridge Business Excellence Criteria which takes entrants through a robust and detailed ‘warrant of fitness’ on their business, helping develop capability, build resilience and recognising and rewarding excellent performance from local businesses.

Top 3 reasons to take part.

1. To win one or more of the 16 Categories and maybe even take out the Supreme Award.
2. To build your business and team.
3. To promote, network and market your business.

The entry process allows you to benchmark your business against your competitors, receive free independent feedback on your business from experts in their fields, add value to your strategic and business planning and energise, motivate and build your team for the future.

Entrants can leverage off the multiple marketing and networking opportunities, and finalists and winners can highlight their success to their stakeholders. (Awards logos are available for marketing and promotion.)

The awards acknowledge that businesses grow and evolve and that the pursuit of excellence is a journey. They provide a framework for organisations to work on their businesses, they are an opportunity to measure, recognise, and honour the businesses who strive to be outstanding.
