What are The David Awards?
The David Awards is the only non-industry-specific national awards programme specifically targeting SMEs throughout New Zealand. Now in their 10th year, the awards recognise those unsung heroes at the smaller end of the business scale who form the backbone of the New Zealand economy, taking on the “Goliaths” and often punching well above their weight in doing so.
BNI’s history at The David Awards
Numerous BNI members have been finalists and winners at The David Awards over the years. 2015’s Supreme Award winner was a BNI member from Christchurch who was also awarded Most Outstanding Fledgling Business and Most Community-Minded Business. Last year Dr Tom Vaughan, Chiropractor of Boost Chiropractic and member of BNI Warkworth, was the winner of the “Most outstanding lifestyle business category”.
BNI New Zealand is proud to sponsor “The BNI most outstanding established business” category.
The categories at the awards?
