The Hawke’s Bay Forestry Awards celebrates the forest industry and recognises the skilled workforce across the region.

The Hawke’s Bay Forestry Awards, held at Napier War Memorial Centre in November, celebrated the resilience and innovation within the forestry sector. Hosted by TV personality Jeremy Corbett, the event honoured industry heroes who tackled the challenges of the past two years.

“Another successful night for the forestry industry last night with your support as a valued service provider. We really appreciate your service and quality work, always making our role as event managers easy to manage the operational side of the show.”
