Kia ora koutou, it's been a while but here's an opportunity:

The 2degrees Marlborough Business Excellence Awards 2025 are here, and we want you to be part of it!

From big-name businesses that now call Marlborough home to solo entrepreneurs hustling from their spare rooms, our region is bursting with talent, creativity, and drive. These awards are all about shining a light on that. No matter how long you’ve been in business, 6 months, or 60 years this is your moment to share your journey, your wins, and the challenges you've overcome. It’s a chance to hit pause, look back at how far you've come, and get excited about what’s next. And while the night itself is all about celebrating, entering the awards is also a great way to take stock, get some fresh insights from experienced judges, and find new opportunities for growth. This is one of the biggest events on the local business calendar and a brilliant way for the Chamber to back our amazing business community.

You do not have to be a Chamber member to enter!
Entry is FREE!
It’s never been easier to enter, with less than 6 questions per category!
You can enter more than one category!
It’s a fantastic opportunity to showcase your business and celebrate success!

So go on, step into the spotlight. This is your year. Let’s celebrate excellence, together.

Have your say on the future path of Destination Marlborough
As we enter the next stage of the ILM (Investment Logic Mapping) process, Council is now seeking public feedback on the future of the visitor industry support services in Marlborough through a survey as part of the Destination Marlborough Future Path Project. The project aims to redesign the role and structure of Marlborough’s tourism management.

Councillor Croad said “The purpose of the Future Path Project is to rescope and redesign the future role, purpose, functions, structure and resourcing of Destination Marlborough to deliver destination management, marketing and visitor attraction services that meet expectations and are fit for purpose to contribute to Marlborough’s future success".
