Entrepreneur Of The Year New Zealand™
Is the secret to winning to never stop believing?
The EY Entrepreneur Of The Year program recognises and celebrates the spirit and contribution of exceptional entrepreneurs. These are the individuals who see things beyond the horizon and help shape the future. By challenging orthodox methods and creating new markets for goods and services, entrepreneurs positively disrupt the way we do business and help enhance our quality of life.
Here's to the unstoppables transforming our world
Launched here in 1998 the programme has grown in profile each year and is now recognised as a leading business award in New Zealand, consistent with its global status. By participating in the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year program, entrepreneurs can connect with their peers, access relevant insights to help navigate their growth journey and raise the profile of their companies and teams. Each program culminates in the announcement of an overall winner who then competes for the prestigious EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year™ Award.
We are delighted that the following organisations are sponsoring the program:

Air New Zealand is proud to support the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year Awards for 2018. The airline facilitates more than 17 million customer journeys to, from and within New Zealand each year, connecting Kiwis with the world.

It is a one-of-a kind programme that recognises and fosters the talents of this talented group of people. As a proudly NZ family owned company Villa Maria is a strong supporter of the programme and its continued successes.
