This year’s appliance industry achievers were celebrated by 400+ glittering guests at the Langham Hotel in Auckland on Thursday October 27th.

The 2011 Wares Awards were hosted by our MCs Simon Dallow and Robyn Malcolm and the winners thoroughly deserved their accolades after 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.

Here’s to the 2012 Wares Awards!
