ITM celebrates shareholders and suppliers
IN THE FIRST week of August ITM hosted shareholders and key suppliers
in Auckland for its annual conference, concluding with the annual ITM Awards Night to celebrate the success of both suppliers and shareholders.
This year’s venue was the Bruce Mason Centre in Takapuna which was transformed into a beautiful vintage cinema.
The wider ITM family celebrated a challenging but successful year with 12 awards, one of the crowd favourites being the ITM Young Achiever of the Year which saw a wave of nominations from all over the country.
The Executive Team chose four extremely deserving finalists and it’s
fair to say that ITM is very proud of the young people coming through the ranks.
There can only be one winner however
and it was Tom James from Central ITM who was named 2022’s outstanding young up-and-comer.
Suppliers were asked to vote for
their choice for ITM’s Outstanding Shareholder prior to conference and, with a landslide win, Invercargill’s finest – EH Ball ITM – was voted the winner.
The excitement and passion could be felt throughout the room when Warwick Ball accepted the award and gave heartfelt thanks to the incredible work of suppliers during these challenging times.
