Dear


As another year comes to an end, it’s time to for us all to reflect on our personal and business achievements. Congratulations to all the new businesses that opened this year, those that won awards and more importantly to the steadfast businesses that continue to grow and contribute to our economy. We have enjoyed celebrating and working alongside you all. 

Thank you to our Business Awards sponsors and networking function sponsors this year along with the ENC Business Centre sponsors who provide us with a professional working and meeting environment for all to use. 

The ENC and Visit Waimakariri offices will be closed from 5pm Friday, December 21st until 8.30am Monday, January 7th. However, the Kaiapoi i-SITE is only closed Christmas Day and Sundays. Check out their holiday hours offering local residents and visitors friendly information and bookings. 

From all of us here at ENC, have a very merry and prosperous Christmas and a relaxing holiday season.


Kind regards,

Heather Warwick, CEO
