The Auckland hospitality industry have had their say, and the results are in!
The Lewisham Awards is an annual event organised by a dedicated committee of industry professionals with the support of industry suppliers and businesses. Named after Richard Lewisham who was a pioneer of the Auckland hospitality scene, The Lewisham Awards were established in 2002 with the main objective to encourage excellence in the city’s hospitality community.
With this in mind, the best in the business are nominated and honoured by their peers once a year followed by an after party to celebrate this success.
