Last week we were proud to support Paul Morgan, chair of the Wakatū board, as he was inaugurated into the New Zealand Business Hall of Fame.

Paul is pictured with his son Rore Morgan, who read out Paul’s citation at the awards ceremony.

Paul is widely respected at home and globally as a Māori leader, lobbyist and entrepreneur who has been at the centre of economic development and political advocacy for Māori for over 30 years.

The award recognises the work that Paul has done over many years for the whānau of Wakatū leading the Wakatū Board, as well as his significant contribution to many other sectors across Aoteaora and internationally. 

The New Zealand Business Hall of Fame recognises and celebrates individuals who have made a significant contribution to the economic and social development of Aotearoa.
