Electra Business Awards 2022: Celebrating Local Business With A Night To Remember

Kāpiti, 10 October 2022 –The Electra Kāpiti & Horowhenua Business Awards 2022, hosted at the Horowhenua Events Centre, was a spectacular celebration of local businesses and their achievements in a year that has been challenging for most. It was a night to remember as over 380+ finalists, sponsors, and members of the business community gathered together in-person for an occasion that was filled with food, fun, and entertainment to recognise business excellence.

Heather Hutchings, Chamber Co-Chair, commented:

“There was a buzz in the room. As last year’s award ceremony was held online, you could tell that everyone was excited to be back together in person again; it was a big night as far as business was concerned. People dressed up and came from all over, and nobody wanted to go home at the end of the night: the band kept playing and the dancing continued, even as pack-up began. It was the perfect celebration to commend the outstanding quality of the businesses and owners we have choosing to base themselves on the Kāpiti Coast, which translates to further economic growth and local employment opportunities.”

The Kāpiti Coast Chamber of Commerce is a proud event supporter and sponsor of the New / Emerging Award category.
