Nomination form

The New Zealand Hotel Industry Awards celebrate excellence in our industry. They are managed by Tourism Industry Aotearoa (TIA) and Horwath HTL.

About this Award
The Hotel Industry Outstanding Young Hotel Executive of the Year Award recognises a young executive who has made an exceptional contribution to their employer in the past 12 months and engaged with the wider hotel industry.

The Award sponsor
Sparkle Master Drycleaners has been in business since 1998 under its current owners and has continually increased business turnover to become the largest dry cleaning operation in Auckland. Our business has been based on providing a reliable professional service principally to the Hotel Trade, operating 365 days a year.

Quality has been the hallmark on which Sparkle has built its business reputation. We understand that costs and efficiency obviously play a major role in running a Hotel. With that in mind we offer an Automated Garment Management System, tracking garments (RFID chips) to and from Sparkle, with the ability to give detailed billing. Sparkle’s philosophy has always been to consider ourselves to be in partnership with the hotel, rather than just as service provider, which is why we will always go the extra distance for our clients and their customers.
