Finalists Celebrate

Entrants, category finalists, and sponsors of the West Coast Leading Light Business Excellence Awards enjoyed a fabulous evening together over drinks and superb finger food at the Australasian Hotel on Tuesday 28 June in a lead up to their big night on 8th July.  
Development West Coast Chief Executive Officer, Dr John Chang congratulated all entrants for the exceptional quality of their entries, noting judges had found it very difficult to choose the finalists. He then presented finalists with certificates recognising their achievement, while a prize draw was undertaken for all non-finalists applicants.
Congratulations to Styliz Hair Salon who can treat their staff at one of a selection of West Coast restaurants to the value of $500, and also to Hokitika Cheese and Deli who was the winner of a $500 Greymouth Regent Theatre voucher.  What a great way to celebrate participation!

Finalists are now looking forward to the West Coast Leading Light Business Excellence Awards evening at Shantytown on 8th of July.  This prestigious night will see everybody in their best evening wear and will definitely set the bar for future events.
