After missing the opportunity last year the Auckland branch of the CCNZ made an extra effort with its 2021 regional awards.
It was a rocking night of celebrations at the Cordis Hotel in Auckland where the conference hall was filled with 60 tables of guests for a well-organised (as usual) opportunity to network, celebrate and reward industry leaders and projects from around the Auckland region.
