"Entering the business excellence awards provided us great opportunity to measure the effectiveness of our total business transformation following the purchase of Bluebird Foods by PepsiCo in 2007.

 

Measuring ourselves against internationally recognised standards and the best of Manukau's leading businesses was a challenging process. However, the rewards of measuring and reviewing the robustness of our business processes and results have continued well beyond the awards program timeline. Through our participation in the program, we have identified further opportunities to improve as a business and engage more effectively with our people.

 

Achieving the success we did was outstanding recognition for our people of the journey they have all embraced and excelled in. I thoroughly recommend businesses seize the opportunity that entering these awards  represents and enjoy the journey."

Gerard Smith - Bluebird Foods

Supreme Winner 2010

 

 

"The awards program was an opportunity for us to measure the progress we have made in rebuilding our business. It brought our people together with enthusiasm, commitment but some trepidation to open ourselves up for scrutiny under an internationally recognized standard and against Manukau’s best businesses. To achieve the success we did was a major milestone for our business and most importantly our people. I would encourage those thinking about it to put yourself out there, involve your people"

John Beck - Styrobeck Plastics Ltd

Supreme Winner 2006

 

 

“This Award is actually an objective, a destination and to me it is secondary – the primary value is in the journey, looking at every part of your business, lifting up every rock, seeing what crawls out from underneath and dealing to it and sorting it out.  Participation in these awards is the best gift you could ever give your business.  It has been a fabulous journey."

Barry Gillingwater, DSS Animal Management  

ACC Workplace Safety Category Winner 2008

 

 

“This award acknowledges the work and commitment of our team.”
