North Harbour Business Hall of Fame laureates who were present at the 2023 dinner with the new inductees.
Since 2015, the North Harbour Business Hall of Fame has been managed by the North Harbour Club & Charitable Trust – part of the Club's ongoing programme of rewarding excellence.
Established originally by North Shore City’s business development entity Enterprise North Shore in 2004, the Hall of Fame celebrates those who have made significant contributions to the region in business and in the community. With the amalgamation of Auckland city in 2010 the Hall of Fame stalled for a few years before being re-established by the North Harbour Club in 2015. The name was changed from North Shore to North Harbour Business Hall of Fame and in 2016 the first laureates were inducted by the North Harbour Club, with the intention to do this annually.
To be considered for induction, a nominee must be a successful business leader in their industry, whom has applied their skills and success to also benefit the community. Nominations are open on an ongoing basis for the North Harbour Business Hall of Fame and laureates are inducted at an annual dinner event.
Nominations for 2024 will close on Friday 24 May 2024.
