This year looks like a competitive one and we're not even going to try and pick the AGRIA winners. It's great to see a number of the employers we work with being nominated as we see first hand how hard everyone works each year. We too are lucky enough to be up for an award, so thanks to everyone who gave us their vote! As well as one of our New Zealand counter parts being nominated for his contribution to the graduate industry, Tim Watts who runs GradConnection NZ with Rob Milne successfully ran a half day New Zealand Graduate Recruitment conference and had about 60 delegates show up and participate in an afternoon of workshops. A great result for a first year and the intention will be to make it bigger next year and get an association off the ground over there. Both Tim and Ben Reeves have played a huge part in the execution of building the industry up in New Zealand, results from this year giving a very positive outlook. Congratulations to everyone who was nominated below!
