The Newmarket business community came together on Friday 25th August to celebrate excellence and innovation at the annual Newmarket Business Awards (NBA), hosted by the Newmarket Business Association (NBA). The event, held at Cordis and sponsored by Auckland MINI Garage and Q Mastercard®, showcased the remarkable achievements of businesses in the Newmarket precinct.
The Newmarket Business Awards celebrate the diverse and thriving business community in Newmarket, showcasing outstanding accomplishments and innovation across various categories. These winners represent the best of what Auckland’s business landscape has to offer, setting the bar high for future endeavours in the vibrant Newmarket precinct.
Small businesses are the backbone of communities, creating jobs, fostering entrepreneurship, and infusing local economies with vitality. They bring unique products, services, and character to neighbourhoods, making them vibrant and distinct. These businesses often embody the dreams and aspirations of their owners, who pour their hearts and souls into their work.
NBA’s CEO, Mark Knoff-Thomas said, “What a superb night it was to celebrate our wonderful precinct. Huge congratulations to all the finalists and winners in the awards this year, and in particular our supreme winner Deadly Ponies. This year, more than ever, the awards recognise excellence – leaders and brands at the very top of their game. Special thanks to our judges, and sponsors, including major sponsors Auckland MINI Garage and Q Mastercard.”
