We’ve had tremendous success at the 2013 Westpac Business Excellence Awards. The Bream Head Conservation Trust won three prestigious awards:
- Sustainable Business Award – Northland Regional Council sponsor
- Best Not for Profit Organisation Award – Top Energy sponsor
- Excellence in Business – Owner Operator Award – Konica Minolta sponsor
This has given our Trust a profile of what I termed the “new normal” where conservation is an integral part of what we are at the Whangarei Heads Peninsula. Conservation at both an operational and strategic levels producing outstanding results of ecological restoration and the relationship management for a sustainable future.
I must convey special thanks to Bill Mallet (Trustee) on his initiative to enter the awards and the hard work undertaken on the entry form – we took the 400 plus key Northland business people present by storm, our conservation group predominantly consisting of volunteers winning these three prestige awards. Yeah…..
I was so proud to represent the Trust as the Chair.

The Bream Head Conservation Trust stands out for its outstanding level of connection with the community and all key stakeholders. The Trust exhibited sound planning and monitoring. There are clearly defined goals and strategies. These are well implemented and monitored to ensure success.
The Trust has strong evidence of a well thought out long term plan with processes and structures aligned to this. We look forward to seeing further success with regards to protecting and improving this iconic Northland landscape.
