NZX is a proud sponsor of the PricewaterhouseCoopers NZ Hi-Tech Awards again this year, and would like to congratulate all individuals and companies, particularly NZX Listed companies Fisher & Paykel Healthcare and Xero, who received awards at the Gala Dinner on Friday night in Christchurch.

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare (NZX:FPH) was the 2009 PwC Supreme Award Winner and Xero (NZX:XRO) took out the HiFx Innovative Services Product Award.

Sir Gil Simpson, Dennis Chapman and Ian Taylor joined the PwC NZ Hi-Tech Hall of Fame after winning NZX Flying Kiwi awards last year, and were acknowledged again for their contribution at the Awards on Friday. NZ Hi-Tech Association chair Wayne Norrie described the NZX Flying Kiwi award as “the highest honour our hi-tech industry bestows upon an individual.”

NZX also had the honour of presenting the NZ Hi-Tech Association Special Award, in recognition of service to the New Zealand hi-tech industry, to Marion Rogers. Marion was instrumental in establishing the Hi-Tech Awards and has been involved in many other industry initiatives including founding the Electronics Manufacturing Council and the Electronics Exporters Association of New Zealand.

The closely watched Endace Young Achiever Award was awarded jointly to Andrew Graham of Inro Technologies and John-Daniel Trask of Mindscape.

Congratulations to all PwC Hi-Tech Award 2009 winners and to those involved in organising this very successful event, especially the great team at Swaytech.
