This
year’s hardware industry achievers were celebrated by 300+ glittering guests at
the Langham Hotel in Auckland on Wednesday October 5th.
The 2011
Hardware Awards were hosted by our MCs Simon Dallow and Robyn Malcolm and the
winners thoroughly deserved their accolades after such a tough year.
So,
congratulations to all the winning retailers, stores and suppliers –
magnificent achievers, all!
And, to
all of our Finalists, commiserations, but kudos too for being within reach of
the top rung of the ladder!
A huge
thanks to all our sponsors, our judges and everyone involved in organising this
year’s event.
