Mana Pacific's research won a "Highly Commended" recognition in the Education, Research, Science & Technology Awards category.
November 2024 saw the Yorb Manawatū Business Awards rolling around again, celebrating excellence in the Manawatū region. The Awards are a time to showcase the remarkable talent, innovation, and dedication of local businesses. Mana Pacific Consultants were once again recipients of a Highly Commended Award, this year in the Education, Research, Science & Technology category.
The award, sponsored by Massey Business School, celebrates organisations with a primary focus on education, research, science or technology. Entrants must demonstrate excellence through innovative approaches, significant contributions to the field, impactful research or technological advancements, and a commitment to fostering knowledge and skills development, while also showing dedication to ethical practices, collaboration and positive impact.
Mana Pacific Consultants are grateful to the volunteer judges offering insight and feedback. Judges were able to see that Mana Pacific Consultants “shows a clear vision of being Pacific-led, by Pacific people for Pacific people.” With a “focus on customer/client outcomes, you are agile and can respond quickly to changes in demand/external forces.”
Judges noted ,“Your approach and the outcomes of your research are engaging and life changing. The approach to how you share this with all stakeholders is inspiring… Big heart, with big intentions over a big area. Not only are you supporting the Pacific community in their homeland, but you support Pacific people and local people here in the Manawatu… We will watch your business go from strength to strength.”
