The Apprentice of the Year awards was held recently in Auckland…
FloorNZ Awards Evening 2026
On behalf of the entire FloorNZ team, I want to extend our heartfelt thanks for everyone that attended the Flooring Industry Excellence Awards Dinner on 7 May 2026 at the Waipuna Hotel and Conference Centre, Auckland.
We hope you enjoyed the evening. Thank you for joining us for a memorable event, celebrating the fantastic flooring industry, the people, and both apprentices and industry projects.
This celebration could not happen without the support from our evening partners and awards sponsors. Their ongoing commitment and encouragement make nights like this possible, and we are deeply grateful.
Start identifying your standout 2026 projects now – they could be next year’s Excellence in Flooring Award winners.
Residential, commercial, carpet, hard flooring – if it showcases project management, creativity, and technical mastery, it deserves to be in the spotlight.
