This month's Wairarapa Won prize goes to the team from Pagani.

Sarah Pringle, Theresa Trask and Shannon Fifield went the "extra mile" to source dresses for a special event and delivered extraordinary customer service, according to their nominator.

The team received Tui Brewery vouchers in recognition of their hard work.

David Howden from Computer Partners and Maureen Coulson from TRC Toyota received Highly Commended prizes.

David was nominated for the advice and service he provided to a customer. His nominator said he truly lives up to his shop motto "the most valuable item in this shop is our knowledge".

Maureen was nominated for the first-class service she delivers when dealing with car warranty and insurance issues. Her nominator said Maureen, who was always calm and cheerful, goes "well beyond the call of duty to make it a stress-free situation for the customer".

The Wairarapa Won Awards were set up in 2012 to recognise exceptional service from either an individual or business in the region. Nominations are called for each month with advertisements in the Times-Age.
