Celebrating the best of New Zealand

August 18th, 2022

A record-breaking year of award nominations in New Zealand for the 2022 season. The quality of entries exceeded expectations and made the judge's job one not to be envied.

There were more than 50 categories in the 2022 Awards of Excellence. Covering off all areas, allowing all corners of the industry to showcase their talents.  The Pool & Spa sector came alive to demonstrate that our industry is ever-evolving and growing.

On Friday August 12 the presenters made their way across the ditch to host the black-tie gala event held at the stunning Grand Millennium in Auckland. A perfect venue to host nearly 150 guests who were keen to come together and celebrate the industry and the best it has to offer.  After all the award winners were announced the shoes and ties were thrown off and people were ready to dance the night away.

SPASA New Zealand General Manager, Jonty Mills noted that “Auckland really turned it on as the best of the best were acknowledged tonight at the Grand Millennium, but it wasn’t just about the Awards, It was a rare chance for industry to come together and enjoy each others company, rekindle old friendships, share a story and a laugh,” he added. “Particularly given the environment over the last couple of years.
