Initiated by the Wanganui Chamber of Commerce in association with the Wanganui Chronicle and Radio Network, the aim of the Wanganui Security & Electrical Business Awards, is to celebrate business innovation, excellence and achievement.

All entries are judged by an independent panel comprising of senior business executives appointed by Massey University
