NZI RURAL WOMEN NEW ZEALAND BUSINESS AWARDS 2018 WINNERS ANNOUNCED
Rural Women New Zealand is proud to announce the category winners and finalists for the NZI Rural Women New Zealand Awards 2018.
“The NZI Rural Women New Zealand Business Awards are an opportunity to showcase the innovation and entrepreneurial excellence of women who own small rural businesses, while also supporting their local communities,” says National President, Fiona Gower.
“The judges continue to be impressed by the high calibre of entrants, who prove that there is breadth and diversity of enterprise in New Zealand’s rural communities,” says Ms Gower.
“Each and every one of the businesses who entered is a winner in their own right and the judges found it difficult to make the final choice,” says NZI Rural Manager, Jon Watson.
“It was especially pleasing to see strong entrants in the two new awards categories this year – Creative Arts and Rural Champion,” says Mr Watson.
“The finalists chosen were the entrants who fulfilled and excelled in all areas of criteria for each category,” says Access Community Health CEO, Alison Van Wyk.
“We encourage any rural woman who owns a rural business to enter next year – the recognition, support and prestige of winning is of real value,” says Ms Van Wyk.

Slow Woven Textile Studio Open Day
Hi Neighbours! I am a weaver and fibre artist who works with natural fibres to create beautiful, one-off pieces inspired by the native plant life of Aotearoa.
Join me in my Ashhurst studio next Sunday, the 4th of January, for the Slow Woven Textile Studio monthly open day. You can learn about weaving, enjoy demonstrations and even weave your own cute and colourful mug rug to take home for free.
I share the studio with my dad, rural artist Graham Christensen, and his work will also be on display.
Sunday 4th of January, Open 10am-4pm
84 Glenburn Road, (off Napier Rd) Ashhurst.
Please note that number 84 is at the very end of Glenburn Road - so wind your way up the hill and it's at the very top.
The studio is open to the public on the first Sunday of each month.
