Double Delight for the Trafalgar Centre at the EVANZ 2024 Awards

The Trafalgar Centre won the esteemed EVANZ Medium Venue of the Year Award at the 2024 Entertainment Venues Association NZ (EVANZ) Awards in Auckland earlier this month.

This prestigious award highlights the Trafalgar Centre’s exceptional service, outstanding events and commitment to excellence. The judges noted “the level of dedication each staff member has given to their venue and community. A key attribute of this venue is its ability to not only accommodate guests, but welcome and celebrate them."

Adding to the celebrations, Mark Mekalick, Nelson Community Venues (CLM) Manager, was named the Venue Management Association Leader of the Year. This award acknowledges Mark’s outstanding leadership, dedication, and significant contributions to the venue management industry across New Zealand.

The judges noted Mark is an “outstanding and unselfish leader. Passionate about the venues industry with a commitment to continuing self-improvement and strong core values." His leadership has led to “significant wins for his team."
