The Chamber wins Best Practice Business Support Award
We are thrilled to advise that the South Canterbury Chamber and Mackenzie District Council were awarded a Commendation Award from the Economic Development Association of NZ for best practice in ‘Business Recovery Support'.
Noticing that many businesses and community groups were falling through the cracks of eligibility for main-stream funding, Mackenzie District Council partnered with the South Canterbury Chamber of Commerce to create a unique solution ‘A Hand-Up, not a Hand-Out’ principle. 56 Mackenzie businesses received support across multiple sectors, including tourism, hospitality, manufacturing, aquaculture, construction, education, healthcare, retail and not-for-profits utilising training services, business advice and reviews.
