WPR was delighted to support Abel Tasman Sailing Adventures to prepare their entry for the 2026 Nelson Pine Industries Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce Business Awards.
Abel Tasman Sailing Adventures went on to win the 2degrees Innovative Business Award – a fantastic result!
“Entering the Business Awards was a great opportunity to record what our business is, what we enjoy about it, and what it is we believe we do well. Winning the Innovative Business Award is such a boost of confidence. It is hugely rewarding to have others review our business and acknowledge the innovative ways we overcame challenges to continue providing a great service.”

The impact of winning an award is long-lasting. It’s not only the recognition at the time, the acknowledgment that you’re on the right path, and the boost it gives team morale; it’s also about the ongoing opportunities that flow from it.
WPR has supported many clients on their awards journey, including Taylors Contracting, Kernohan Engineering, and now Abel Tasman Sailing Adventures. It has been fantastic to see their success recognised at the regional, national, and international levels, along with the media exposure that has come from it.
