Malvern Business Award

A fantastic response to Selwyn Responsible Business Awards Scheme contributed to a successful and enjoyable evening. On Friday, October 28th, Lincoln Envirotown hosted their Awards evening for their Responsible Business Network. Dave Fitzjohn from Lincoln Envirotown thanked all the businesses for their willingness to talk to assessors and for their tremendous response this year. He also thanked the supporters; Selwyn District Council, The Rata Foundation and Lincoln University, along with thanks to New World Lincoln for providing the food and Rossendale Winery for sponsoring the wine. The main aim was to celebrate the excellent work that Selwyn’s businesses and schools are doing. Each business received a certificate and a feedback letter, and the citations given by assessors to Award recipients showed a tremendous amount being done and a concern for this aspect of business activity. Tony Tsai then from Loxley Innovation Ltd gave an excellent presentation on their development of Electric Tractors, some of which are already in use on farms. John Veix, the first Rolleston winner of these Awards, who is running the Sustainability Expo taking place in Rolleston in midJanuary, gave a short explanation of the Expo and invited all attendees on the evening to take away a native plant that he had sourced. Lincoln Envirotown are grateful to Councillor Nicole Reid who kindly agreed to present the certificates and Trophies as listed:
