Finalists for the 2023 Tompkins Wake Rotorua Business Awards have been revealed.
A total of 62 finalists have been chosen from more than 100 entries for this year’s awards, which celebrate the accomplishments and resilience of the city’s business community.
Rotorua Business Chamber chief executive Bryce Heard said he was “absolutely thrilled” with the number and calibre of entries.
“We thought last year’s entries were awesome at 85 but this year our entrants have blown us away with a staggering 111 entries.
“Our judges have had the unenviable task of cutting this number back to a manageable number of 62 finalists. There is strong competition in every category and becoming a finalist is a significant achievement.”
Heard congratulated the 62 businesses that had made itto the finals.
“We look forward to a great night of celebrating Rotorua’s successes in November.”
The 2023 Tompkins Wake Rotorua Business Awards gala evening is scheduled for November 4. Tickets are now on sale.
