The Economic Action Marlborough (TEAM) Group, led by Marlborough District Council, has received a commendation at the 2021 Economic Development New Zealand (EDNZ) Awards. The award recognises TEAM under the ‘integrated planning’ category of EDNZ’s annual best practice awards.

TEAM Group chair Councillor Mark Peters said he was proud of what TEAM Group had achieved in helping Marlborough’s post-Covid-19 recovery.

“One of the things I’m proudest of is we helped dozens of people seeking work and supported nearly 100 businesses with professional advice. We also piloted a new Career Navigator scheme for 16 to 25 year olds, which helps show our young people that there are some great work opportunities right here in Marlborough.”
