Get Ready to Celebrate: The 2026 RSM East Auckland Business Awards!
When: Thursday, 19th March, 2026
Time: 5.30 pm - 10.00 pm
Venue: Pakuranga United Rugby Club, 78 Bells Rd, Lloyd Elsmore Park, Pakuranga
Dress Code: Smart
Inclusions: Your ticket includes welcome drinks and canapés, followed by a full buffet dinner and accompanying beverages.
We’re coming together on Thursday, 19th March, to shine a spotlight on the grit, innovation, and heart that make the East Auckland business community world-class. This isn't just an awards ceremony—it’s a celebration of all our outstanding achievements.
Distinguished Guest: The Rt Hon Christopher Luxon. It is an honour to have the Prime Minister join our celebrations at the Awards Night and address our finalists as we recognise excellence and achievement within our community.
We are absolutely thrilled to announce that the lovely Wendy Meyer will be our host for the evening! With a stellar 28-year career in radio (including 21 years at Newstalk ZB), Wendy is a true broadcasting pro. You’ll likely recognise her from the screen, too—whether it’s her roles on Shortland Street, and other programmes, her many TV commercials, or her 18 years as the friendly face of “Better Living (Gladwrap).
Wendy brings a perfect mix of professional spark, TV charisma, and infectious energy to the stage. With her at the helm, expect a night that is as polished as it is a whole lot of fun!
Special Guest Speaker: Kathryn Wilson
Kathryn Wilson has established herself as New Zealand's premier footwear designer, an influential business woman with a brand that is in constant high demand. Stocked in over 60 local boutiques and with an ever-growing online market, the label is on the front foot in the fashion industry. Her acute business acumen has also meant Kathryn is in demand as a leader and brand ambassador for several global brands, including Volvo, Samsung, Lancome and GH Mumm.
Don’t miss your chance to be part of the excitement as we celebrate the local legends driving our economy forward. It’ll be a great night to get inspired, connect and celebrate our community’s success.
See you there!
