Property Brokers proudly stood in the spotlight at the recent Manawatū Business Awards, winning three prestigious accolades that showcase our commitment to regional excellence. The event, which brought together businesses from across the region, celebrated innovation, leadership, and the strength of local enterprises. For Property Brokers, the evening was a reflection of the dedication and hard work that goes into serving the regions we proudly call home.
We were deeply honoured to receive three awards: Large Business of the Year, Professional Services Award, and the Supreme Business Award. These accolades are a testament to the incredible efforts of our team and the trust placed in us by our clients and communities. Guy Mordaunt, Managing Director of Property Brokers, expressed his pride in the achievement. “Winning these awards is a proud moment for everyone at Property Brokers. They recognise the incredible work our people do every day and underscore our commitment to being a champion for regional New Zealand.”
The Manawatū Business Awards have always been a celebration of local talent and enterprise, and this year was no exception. The evening carried a strong call for regional pride, encouraging businesses to embrace their roots and invest in their communities. For Property Brokers, this message is at the core of who we are. As a family-owned business operating in more than 85 locations across New Zealand, we have always believed in the strength and resilience of regional communities. Our success is intertwined with the success of the towns and cities we serve.
Guy Mordaunt emphasised this in his reflections on the awards. “We’re not just a business operating in these communities - we’re a part of them. Our success is built on staying true to our values and fostering strong connections with the people we serve. These awards are a celebration of what makes regional New Zealand extraordinary.” This sentiment resonates strongly with our ethos at Property Brokers, where our focus has always been on supporting and uplifting the regions, helping them thrive in every way possible.
The night was not only a celebration of businesses but also a recognition of individuals who have made a significant impact on their industries and communities. Among the honourees was John Turkington, who received a lifetime service award for his extraordinary contributions. His recognition was a poignant reminder of the profound impact that one person’s dedication and leadership can have, both in business and in community life. It was a moment of reflection for many in the room, highlighting the importance of giving back and staying committed to the values that drive success.
At Property Brokers, we see these awards not just as a reflection of our past achievements but as inspiration for the future. The recognition we received is a testament to the dedication of our team, whose hard work and passion make everything we do possible. It also reaffirms our belief in the power of regional businesses to lead, innovate, and make a lasting difference.
As Guy Mordaunt noted, “These awards inspire us to continue striving for excellence. As a business, we are focused on innovating, growing, and continuing to support the regions we proudly call home. We’re not slowing down - we’re building on this success to deliver even more for our clients and communities.”
While the awards celebrate business excellence, the night was also a reminder of the importance of staying grounded in our values. For Property Brokers, these values are rooted in our commitment to our people, our clients, and our communities. We owe our success to the trust and loyalty of those we serve, and we never take that for granted. Guy expressed his gratitude to the people who have been part of this journey. “We owe these awards to the incredible team at Property Brokers and to our clients, who place their trust in us every day. This is a shared achievement, and we’re deeply grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in the regions we serve.”
As we look ahead, we are excited about the opportunities to continue our journey. These awards are a milestone, but they are also a reminder that there is still so much more to achieve. Property Brokers remains committed to delivering world-class service to regional New Zealand, helping our communities thrive and grow. With a clear vision for the future and a strong foundation built on trust, innovation, and regional pride, we are ready to embrace the next chapter.
The Manawatū Business Awards were a celebration of the best that regional New Zealand has to offer. For Property Brokers, they were an affirmation of everything we stand for and a motivation to keep striving for excellence. As we move forward, we carry with us the knowledge that our success is rooted in the regions we serve and the people who make it all possible.
