Most Reputable Organisations – MRO Awards

Management magazine's Most Reputable Organisations Awards, in partnership with Hay Group, is held annually and recognises New Zealand’s most reputable organisations as determined by the research results from a survey sent to senior business leaders throughout New Zealand. 

Similar research is conducted globally by Hay Group in the United States and Australia. The New Zealand research has been modelled on the Most Admired Companies survey in the US, published in Fortune magazine.

Kensington Swan supports the level of outstanding commitment and achievement by the organisations involved and hosted the 2011 awards event at its premises in Auckland's Viaduct Harbour.

NZ Management’s MRO survey identifies reputable organisations in four categories:

• Private and public sector companies
• State-owned enterprises
• Government departments
• Not-for-profit organisations

Taste of New Zealand Awards

The inaugural TONZA awards, rewarding leadership in the creation of a New Zealand culinary identity, were held in 2011. The TONZA programme has been designed to create awareness of regional products and resources through exposure in hospitality establishments, and to foster an awareness and pride in New Zealand’s great local produce.

Already respected as some of the finest dining establishments in the country, the first four Premier Award winners reflect the intention of the Taste of New Zealand Awards (TONZA) programme to identify professional efforts to use local raw materials.

As well as the Premier Awards, TONZA also recognised the fine expressions of regionality of another 45 restaurants, cafés and food producers.

TONZ awards will be made every two years. The winners will be promoted via electronic and general media as hospitality establishments where the travelling public can experience the culinary identity of specific regions of New Zealand.
