And the winners are!

2015 Wares Awards steps up to another level!

The 2015 Wares Awards stepped up a level last week. With 360-degree videos, Kerre McIvor on top form as MC, live online voting for the Nespresso Black Carpet segment and a 100% positive vibe around the event, we will need to work hard to better this year's Gala Dinner in 2016!

The 2015 Wares Awards Gala Dinner took place on Thursday 12 November, at The Langham Auckland and we have received unstintingly positive feedback since the event, for which many thanks.
