Awards

Te Manu Atatū Māori Business Awards is our opportunity to profile and celebrate Māori owned and operated businesses within Whanganui and surrounding Iwi.

The network encourages businesses, small and large to apply and join with us to celebrate Māori success.

Our prestigious biennial event also offers us the opportunity to welcome the rising star of ‘Puanga’ into the Māori New Year.

It is a time to reflect, acknowledging the present whilst looking towards the future.
