Ruralco CEO Wins Excellence in Business Leadership at ANZ Business of the Year Awards
Tony Aitken, chief executive of Ruralco, has been awarded the Excellence in Business Leadership Award at the ANZ Business of the Year Awards.
Grajan Farms won a new Honda Pioneer 520 valued around $20,000 while Andrew Donaldson, Punawai Pastures, got a $10,000 House of Travel voucher.
Ruralco launched the promotion on June 1: every $250 spent with Ruralco Instore Days participating suppliers until July 10 enabled co-operative members one entry in the draw.
The draws were done under police supervision.
Ruralco chief executive Rob Sharkie thanked everyone who spent with the co-op over the Instore Days period to gain entries in the prize pool.
"We are thrilled with the support for this year's Instore Days and look forward to bringing you this well-known event and promotion for years to come, and especially next year in what is a very special year for our co-operative," says Sharkie.
"Planning will get underway soon for next year's 29th Instore Days which also occurs in the co-operative's 60th year of business - definitely a cause for celebration."
