We're incredibly honoured to share that Height has been recognised across multiple categories at this year's New Zealand Procurement Excellence Awards.
Height was named Procurement Consultancy of the Year, recognising the exceptional work our Commercial & Contracts Delivery team delivers for clients across Aotearoa.
"We're driven by our commitment to our clients, so to receive this recognition is incredibly humbling. It means a great deal to our team," says CCD Principal, Kel McBeath.
The celebrations didn't stop there. Rising star, Chris Lord won the Emerging Procurement Talent Award. Chris joined Height in 2023 following a 14-year career with the Royal New Zealand Navy, bringing extensive engineering expertise but no formal procurement experience.
Since then, he has built a procurement career from the ground up, earning a reputation for his dedication, professionalism, and commitment to delivering excellent outcomes for clients.
“I'm extremely grateful for the leadership, mentorship and support I have received since joining the industry from the Navy with no prior experience. Receiving this award is a testament to the efforts of everyone at Height, our clients and their suppliers.”
Kel McBeath was also a finalist in the Leadership in Procurement category. Kel's combination of technical expertise, commercial judgement and people-centred leadership continues to make a significant impact, both within our team and for the organisations we support.
These achievements reflect the calibre of our people, the trust our clients place in us, and the passion our team brings to delivering procurement outcomes that create real value.
Congratulations to Chris, Kel, and our entire Commercial & Contracts Delivery team. We couldn't be prouder.
