Bronze Sponsors
Hawke's Bay Airport
Our primary role is to enable smooth air travel to and from the region, by maintaining and developing our aviation assets.
As a public space, we are also a reflection of the region we serve. Creating an environment that supports everyone’s journey, from local to visitor, business traveller to family farewell, we are a welcoming environment for all. As the North Island’s third busiest airport (behind only Auckland and Wellington), we play a key role in connecting the region’s people and produce to national and international markets.
Wineworks
WineWorks was created to support New Zealand winemakers and the industry. Since 1995, we’ve been providing the country’s winemakers with world-class technology, expansive facilities, and exceptional service. Taking care of bottling, storage, and distribution, we help to minimise investment, effort and stress while delivering efficiencies.
Our company was founded on a vision to add value to the industry that we love. We approach every project with a commitment to the highest standards and utmost quality assured. By looking after the ‘works’, we enable winemakers and wine companies to concentrate on what they do best; working their magic to produce some of the best wines in the world.
Award Sponsors
Napier Port
Napier Port is a pivotal link in a network that crosses the globe, connecting our local businesses, facilitating trade to world markets, and providing a gateway for tourists to explore our region.
We’ve been helping our customers, our community and our economy to grow for more than 100 years. Plenty has changed in that time, but our driving purpose remains the same:
Together, we build a thriving region by connecting you to the world.
