Our annual Westpac Champion Business Awards have played an important role in showcasing and celebrating the excellence, innovation, and success of businesses and charities in the Canterbury Region.
 
The Awards were a six-month journey starting with nominations and entries, that culminated in one of the largest and most prestigious business awards ceremonies in New Zealand.
 
Over 19 years, we hosted over 15,000 attendees, acknowledged 650 finalists, and celebrated 240 winners.
 
However, due to rising costs, we made the difficult decision to discontinue the Awards, with the final programme run in 2021.
 
At Business Canterbury, we remain committed to celebrating business in Canterbury. That’s why we have set up Bold Company – your source for what’s happening in the Canterbury business community.
 
Bold Company is all about championing local businesses and the people behind them that collectively make this region one of the best places to do business. We cast the spotlight on the bold, resilient, innovative businesses that make Canterbury one of the key regions driving our national economy. Have you got news to share?
