The Waikato Business Hall of Fame was established by the Waikato Chamber of Commerce in 2016. These awards celebrate the people, families and organisations whose achievements, leadership and contribution have made a lasting impact on the Waikato, New Zealand and beyond.
The Hall of Fame is about more than business success. It recognises innovation, service, leadership and legacy, honouring those who have helped shape our region’s economy, identity and future.
Unlike the Waikato Business Awards, which celebrate achievement in the present, the Hall of Fame recognises the enduring contribution of those who have changed the way we do business and helped make the Waikato a better place.
2026 WAIKATO BUSINESS HALL OF FAME
This year, we are delighted to bring the Waikato Business Hall of Fame back to the Waikato Business Awards Gala Dinner, returning to the format traditionally held prior to 2022. As part of the evening, we will proudly induct three new recipients into this prestigious honour.
Date: Friday 6 November
Location: Claudelands Arena
