A few months ago Enterprise North Canterbury announced that for the first time these business awards were going to include Kaikōura businesses in it. I thought, why not I didn’t think I was particularly savy in this area and applying for these awards would serve to strengthen up my business objectives and plans. Over the month of June I poured my heart into the application form, getting to grips with financial reports, budgets and projected plans. This was a fantastic exercise and it really made me look at my business in a more adult business manor rather than a fabulous hobby that I loved to do. I heard whilst I was away that I had made the finals and the next stage is an interview with the judges. I’m so excited to be one of 8 of the Kaikōura businesses who got through to the finals and I wish them all the best with this next stage of the awards… The glamorous gala is in October and of course I will be attending and cheering on all these incredible enterprises in our neck of the woods…
