A massive round of applause to all the Electra Business & Innovation team for another successful Awards Night!
After a full year of managing entrants, various events, organising judging rounds and of course the main event the Awards Night held mid-October, the PomPom team and the rest of the amazing supporting businesses can relax and revel in another successful event.
With over 350 attendees, 22 Finalists, and a heap of wonderful local businesses and producers, the Electra Business & Innovation Awards saw an evening of celebrating local successes accompanied by a delicious menu from Artisan Kitchen and stunning entertainment all wrapped up in a Te Radar bow!
We’d like to extend a massive thank you to all the supporting businesses for their amazing work and we’re all looking forward to working alongside them all in the new year.
