Rotorua's Redwoods Treewalk & Nightlights has been awarded the Tompkins Wake Rotorua 2021 Supreme Award.

The 2021 Tompkins Wake Rotorua Business Awards were held virtually last night after being thwarted by changing Covid-19 rules three successive times.

The winner of the Tompkins Wake Supreme Award was Redwoods Treewalk & Nightlights and Colin Sargison took out the Red Stag Timber Award for Business Person of the Year.

The Rotorua Lakes Council Award for Outstanding Contribution to Rotorua went to Rotorua Multicultural Council.

More than 53 finalists, 22 sponsors, 29 judges, staff, employees and members of the public attended the event virtually.

Category sponsors sent a representative along to the control centre at the Rotorua Energy Events centre to announce the categories and the 15 category winners on stage.

Paul Hickey of NZME MC'd the occasion and all finalists were interactive with the control centre.

The winners were surprised with flowers and awards delivered physically to their respective parties.

Party hampers containing snacks and wines were pre-delivered to the finalists and sponsors, courtesy of the Rotorua Business Chamber.

Chamber chief executive Bryce Heard said the event had originally sold almost 800 tickets, which were being refunded due to the inability to deliver a full physical event.

"We are pretty happy with the final outcome given that we were forced to run a virtual event of this size."

Chamber president Kiri Tahana expressed the chamber's deep appreciation of the support for the event from the Rotorua business community and, in particular, the sponsors who gave generously to allow the event to go ahead.
