At New Zealand Bed Company, we spend our days focusing on helping Kiwis get the best night's sleep possible. But last Friday, February 20th, we traded our showrooms for suits and sequins to celebrate the tireless work of the New Zealand business community.
We were incredibly honoured to attend the ANZ Business of the Year Awards not just as attendees, but as proud Category Partners for the Excellence in Community Impact Award.
It was a phenomenal evening that showcased the innovation, resilience, and heart that drives our local economy forward. The energy in the room was electric, filled with stories of businesses pushing boundaries and making a real difference in Aotearoa.
Highlighting Community Heroes
As a company that values our roots, partnering with the Community Impact category was a natural choice for us. This award recognises organisations that go above and beyond to support and uplift their local communities—a mission that resonates deeply with everything we do.
Our General Manager, Tracey Dobson, had the privilege of taking the stage to announce and present the award. It was a proud moment for our entire team to see the spotlight shine on such deserving nominees.
A massive congratulations to the category winner, Dear Effie Charitable Trust! Your dedication to improving the lives of others is truly inspirational, and we were thrilled to celebrate your success alongside you.
Our Winning Team and Grateful Hearts
The night wouldn't have been the same without the dedicated members of our own New Zealand Bed Company team. We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who represented us so brilliantly at the gala.
Your passion for our brand and our community shone through!
We also must extend our gratitude to the incredible organizers, Rí Rá Events and the Ashburton District Council. The attention to detail and seamless execution made for a truly world-class evening that celebrated local achievement in style.
Lastly, a special shout-out to the Supreme Winner, Greg Donaldson Contracting Limited. Your journey to the top is a testament to what local Kiwi businesses can achieve.
Looking Ahead
Attending events like the ANZ Business of the Year Awards reminds us of the strength of our local network. We left the evening feeling inspired, connected, and more committed than ever to our own path of excellence.
We’re proud to manufacture quality beds here in New Zealand, employing local skilled craftspeople and supporting other local suppliers. This event was another reminder that when we support local, everyone wins.
