The Westpac Waikato Business Awards finalists were announced at an event at Wintec House in September.
Waikato Chamber of Commerce chief operating officer Paula Sutton said once again the business community was coming together to celebrate success.
“This year saw a high calibre of businesses put themselves forward. It really showed the strength of the Waikato business community and paves the way for other businesses,” she said.
“The finalists are the real-life examples of what our region aspires to be, and tonight is the first step in identifying our champions for 2019.”
The category winners and the announcement of the Westpac Supreme Business of the Year will be announced at the Awards Gala Dinner, on November 15 at Claudelands.
