A little bit of egg throwing by enthusiastic winners, Minister Jo Goodhew and BACS!
New Zealand’s best business “good eggs” were announced last night at a special function at the Department of Conservation in Wellington.
From sixty -six businesses the nine finalists lined up to hear who was to take a Good Business Egg award of New Zealand.
Only three were awarded as the ‘very best’ by community organisations surveyed over the past year with a line up of some of the country’s largest companies alongside some small and medium enterprises.
Business and Community Shares (BACS) was launched at the same event, a hub for community and business to share resources and skills.
Founder Julie Donvin-Irons said she was delighted with the response to the event with real interest from a great many organisations.
The Hon. Jo Goodhew Minister of The Community and Voluntary Sector presented the awards to the three winners; BNZ Bank, USave and Vodafone.
The event was sponsored by the Stanley East Company and Cadbury.
The runners up were: Contact Energy, CQ Hotels Wellington, Fonterra, Genesis Energy, NZPost, ANZ Bank.
