OUR THIRD 2026 WAIKATO BUSINESS HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE

We’re proud to announce Dallas Fisher ONZM as the third and final inductee into the Waikato Business Hall of Fame.

Over more than four decades, Dallas has built and led successful organisations across engineering, hospitality, transport, events and professional sport, while playing a significant role in the growth and development of the Waikato.

From transforming NDA into Tīra Group to co-founding Montana Catering, his entrepreneurial leadership has created opportunities and lasting economic impact across the region.

His contribution extends well beyond business, with significant governance, philanthropic and community involvement, including with the Chiefs, Go Bus Holdings, FMG Stadium Waikato and Te Waka.

Congratulations Dallas!

OUR SECOND 2026 HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE

We’re proud to announce the Rt Hon Jim Bolger ONZ as the second of three inductees into the Waikato Business Hall of Fame.

A former Prime Minister and one of New Zealand’s influential public leaders, Jim’s contribution extended well beyond politics.

For the Waikato, his support of the Waikato–Tainui Raupatu Settlement in 1995 was a defining legacy, helping lay the foundations for reconciliation and long-term Māori economic development across the region.

His service continued through leadership roles including Ambassador to the United States, founding Chairman of Kiwibank, Chairman of KiwiRail and Chancellor of the University of Waikato.

Jim Bolger is inducted posthumously in recognition of his enduring contribution to public leadership, economic development and the prosperity of the Waikato and New Zealand.

👏 Two down, one more to reveal...

OUT AND ABOUT | A little team fun at The Eagles Nest!

Yesterday afternoon, some of our team headed along to check out one of our new Chamber members, The Eagles Nest Hamilton. Even for those of us who wouldn’t exactly call ourselves golfers, it was a lot of fun, with great customer service from Jack and plenty of laughs along the way.

The Eagles Nest is Hamilton’s dedicated indoor golf simulation venue, with loads of different ways to play, making it a great option for a couple of hours of team fun, a catch-up with mates, or something a little different for your next event.

We love getting out and experiencing what our members have to offer, and The Eagles Nest is definitely one we’d recommend checking out!

Thanks to the team for having us. We’ll be back! 👏
