Guy Ngata, Chief Executive of The Eden Park Trust, explains “it is especially pleasing to see Lian acknowledged for her long-term commitment and personal investment into our membership programme and relationship with our members.

Eden Park’s commercial team, under the leadership of General Manager Commercial Nick Sautner, has been nominated for the Sales & Marketing Award due to the outstanding work undertaken identifying and commercialising a number of key assets with new partners over the past year.

Ngata (pictured) added “the outstanding work the Commercial team has undertaken growing and servicing our portfolio of partners under Nick’s leadership is a welldeserved recognition.

“We look forward to the announcement of the category winners and, regardless of the result, The Eden Park Trust is very proud of this acknowledgement.”
