Port of Auckland is thrilled to be named as finalists for four awards at the upcoming Deloitte Top 200 Business Awards on Thursday 5th December 2024.
Port of Auckland has been named as finalists for the following awards:
- Jan Dawson for Chairperson of the Year,
- Roger Gray for Chief Executive of the Year,
- Diversity and Inclusion Leadership and
- Company of the Year.
Taylor Gibbes, Stevedore at Port of Auckland says: “This recognition means a lot to us. We have seen the port change a lot over the past few years. It’s a safer and better business. We know the work we do makes a difference and we’re proud to work for the port.”
Over the past few years, the port has made significant changes across all operations, as well as to the company culture.
Roger Gray, Chief Executive of Port of Auckland says: “Whanaungatanga and celebrating our diversity has been at the heart of our transformational journey.”
In August, the port’s annual results further signified the company’s turnaround with a 22% increase in underlying profit and a final dividend payment of $20m to Auckland Council. This brings declared dividends to $40m for the year – an increase of $10m on the prior year.
“Being selected as a finalist in four categories is a privilege and is a reflection of the hard work our team puts in every day. It's been a great year, and I want to thank everyone for their hard work in reaching our goals while continuing to prioritise safety and look out for one another.
“I also appreciate the unions for their ongoing support. It has been a pleasure to see the port deliver for Aucklanders, Council and the region,” says Gray.
The Deloitte Top 200 Awards are held annually to recognise and celebrate outstanding individual and management team performances among New Zealand’s largest companies and trading organisations.
Port of Auckland is proud to be chosen as a finalist for each of these categories alongside some of New Zealand’s most renowned companies and wishes the best to the other finalists.
