In a celebration of business innovation and entrepreneurship, the Deloitte Fast 50 regional celebrations took place across New Zealand last night, on the evening of Wednesday 26 September.

With over 700 attendees across five locations, the events were a great mix of returning contenders and first time entrants to the Fast 50 programme, and a fantastic opportunity to spotlight those fast-growing businesses helping shape Planet New Zealand.

Held in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin, the events acknowledged entrants by region and also award some for fast growth by industry.

We also named those with a spot on the Fast 50 index; but what is still to be announced is where they will be placed. That question will be answered at the Festival of Growth on Wednesday 14 November.

Two other Fast 50 programmes were also recognised by region last night – the Rising Star award, targeting early-stage businesses that have been running for at least a year, and the Master of Growth index, now in its second year of recognising established SMEs with consistent growth over five years. The final placings for the Master of Growth index and the national Rising Star award will also be revealed at the November Festival.

With just a couple of months to go until the big day, all eyes are on the end result. For those who walked award with an award last night, or a place on the indices, we look forward to seeing you again in November. Congratulations again to you all!
