In the council foyer there is now a board commemorating the inductees into the Horowhenua Business Hall of Fame. It was unveiled on Thursday night during the Horowhenua Mayoral Entrants Event, held at the council building in Levin.
Inductees or their families were present for the unveiling. The Business Hallof Fame is part of the annual Electra Business and Innovation Awards.
Inductees are: Bill Crighton, Roger Halliwell, Jake Slykhuis and John Turk, Collis Blake, George Sue, Graeme Bagrie, Larry Ellison, Johnston Mac Tatana, Ross Crowe, Stuart Irons, Ron Turk, Geoff Lewis, John Clarke and Stuart Pescini, Bruce Little, Graham and Leitia Montford.
Horowhenua's Business Hall of Fame inductees are now immortalised on a board in the foyer of the Horowhenua District Council building.
This year’s Horowhenua region finalists were present on the night and were given the opportunity to speak about their business and why they entered the awards. For many, it was about raising their profile, but also about finding out how they measure up, and the chance to meet other business owners in the region.
