Tauranga Business Chamber chief executive Matt Cowley said the awards identified “industry changemakers and role models who inspire others to strive for their own success”.
“We are happy to see a wide cross section of businesses represented in the finalists, highlighting the diverse strengths of the region’s economy.”
This year’s finalists have demonstrated business success in one or more awards categories. Cowley said he congratulated each finalist as they progressed to meeting the chamber’s panel of independent judges.
A special category is decided by public vote.
NZME Bay of Plenty general manager Greg Murphy said the Newstalk ZB People’s Choice Award showed which business had captured the hearts and minds of the wider public.
“I encourage the public to show their support by voting for their favourite business before voting closes on January 17, 2025.”
