Winners outstrip competitors

Supreme Award winner's stellar innovation and service "outstrips competitors." Manufacturer and supplier of precast concrete components Nauhria Precast Limited emerged victorious from the Westpac Auckland Business Awards South, winning the Supreme Business Excellence Award and the Excellence in Innovation category, as well as CEO, Rakesh Nauhria, winning the Excellence in Business Leadership category.

"The awards have given Nauhria a valuable third party overview of how we operate -- what works and will continue to be effective.

"They have helped to highlight areas of opportunity and areas of excellence for the whole company to celebrate," explains Rakesh Nauhria.

Nauhria Precast Limited is an outstanding example of businesses leading South Auckland's dynamic manufacturing base and demonstrating innovation and entrepreneurship in a highly competitive space.

Nauhria supplies the commercial, civil and residential construction sectors with clients such as Avondale College, Te Awa -- The Base, Mitre 10 Mega and Harvard on Hobson.

With a vision of simply "being the best," Nauhria Precast Limited entered the Westpac Auckland Business Awards pipeline for success last year, achieving the finalists' shortlist for Excellence in Marketing and Excellence in Strategy and Planning.

Encouraged by facilitator and judges' feedback, they re-entered the 2105 Awards with a stronger sense of how they could demonstrate their achievements.
