Hawke’s Bay Today
Hastings City Celebration Awards
I
t’s hard to believe after all the hard work the team at the Hastings City Business Association have put in over the last few months that the Hawke’s Bay Today Hastings City Celebration Awards are only a few days away.
HAWKE’S BAY TODAY/NZME Naming Sponsor
Planning and coordinating everything from the physical trophies to processing entries, organising the judging and creating an outstanding event is a mammoth task and our small but dedicated team have put everything they have into making this event a shining light in the Hastings business calendar.
HAWKE’S BAY TODAY/ NZME is proud to celebrate business excellence as the naming sponsor of the Hastings City Business Awards in 2018. The awards provide a fantastic opportunity to recognise and celebrate the high calibre of Hastings businesses – something NZME hopes to see continue to grow, as more and more clients reap the benefits of working with our combined NZME brands.
Coordination starts months before the event with the confirmation of the category and naming rights sponsors, because without them there would be no Celebration Awards. Securing Hawke’s Bay Today as the naming sponsor is a real honour as they are so pivotal and supportive of the business community. The nine category sponsors were selected to reflect the diversity of the local businesses involved in the awards, and they are a great fit for the categories being judged this year. Perhaps one of the more crucial parts of the process is finding and securing the category judges, as well as the head judge to oversee the entire process. We were privileged this year to have fantastic judges representing all sectors of the business community. Our judging team of Wayne Walford, Sally Jackson, Regan Cotter, Brandi Dixon and Jacqui MatthewsHarris alongside Head Judge Craig Riddiford have worked extremely hard to create a robust judging process and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank them for taking time out of their busy schedules

New Celebration Awards highlighting our CBD Heroes, Business Innovators and Customer Service Superstars will celebrate the people and business making outstanding progress in our CBD.
Food will be provided from six of our local hospitality businesses and The Corban Brothers will kick off from 9pm with music to dance the night away to.

2016 Supreme Award Winners
Grow HR
S
ince Winning the Supreme Award at the 2016 NZME Hastings City Business Awards, now the Hastings City Celebration Awards, business for Grow HR has gone from strength to strength and the win has contributed to that growth, Director Dave Robb says.
This year the company has taken a step back from competing but wholeheartedly encourages local businesses to engage and participate in the event. Business has continued to expand and there are benefits well beyond just entering the awards. It was a surprise, but tremendously satisfying, to receive the recognition from both the corporate service and the supreme category judges in 2016. They were astonished by the feedback and good wishes from clients. Dave and his colleagues have discovered the win, which is promoted on their web site, is an ongoing advertisement that people definitely notice. The win adds to credibility and credentials and there’s a huge flow on effect for an organisation’s reputation. A win also holds you up to be a good model of business, judged by and against peers in the community. The judging process follows a methodology and is evidence based Dave says. For example, business and strategic plans are discussed, as are marketing and staffing plans. The team at Grow HR found being nominated and assessed a robust and extremely useful process. “For Grow HR the judging procedure strengthened business processes and heightened focus on what the business was doing, the people, trading, relationships with clients,

and it really focussed us on the value we were adding to our clients,” Director of Human Resources Mandy Cartwright says. “The awards themselves are great for Hastings. We don’t want to lose sight that Hastings gets its strength from events like this. We need the Hastings City Business Association to keep the city alive and they’re

working hard. It’s really important to promote local businesses for the health of business in Hastings, “We’d encourage every business in Hastings to participate. Whether or not there’s a win it’s the process that’s important- a fresh pair of eyes looking at your business.”
