The Awards

The Yorb Manawatū Business Awards is set to be a highlight for the region and one of the biggest events on the business community calendar. This prestigious event is designed to recognise, promote, and celebrate business success in the Manawatū region.

Recognition through these Business Awards serves as a powerful motivator, leading to increased performance, productivity, morale, employee retention, and overall satisfaction within participating businesses.


The Business Awards are run every second year by the Manawatū Business Chamber. Participating businesses receive valuable feedback through the judging process and face-to-face meetings with our experienced panel.


The Manawatū Business Chamber extends its sincere gratitude to all entrants, judges, sponsors, and partners for their anticipated contribution in making the upcoming Yorb Manawatū Business Awards the premier business event of 2024. Their involvement and support will be instrumental in fostering a thriving business environment and promoting the region's economic success.

The awards have created a lot of opportunities for the business and also created some wonderful relationships within the community. We encourage anyone wanting to challenge themselves and grow to apply.

Undeniable great decision

We found going through the judging process extremely professional and enjoyable, and this provided us with the catalyst to ‘plug the gaps’ in our business.  This in turn made us a better business.
