The Hire Industry Association of New Zealand made a special announcement at the Hire Excellence Awards Dinner 2023, awarding Michael Biddick from Access Solutions with Life Membership. HIANZ would like to extend a very big thank you to Michael for all of his support, work, and involvement in the association over the past 25 years. This award is an acknowledgment of your contribution to HIANZ, and to show you how all of us in attending the awards dinner and the wider association recognise and appreciate your efforts over the years. Together, with Michael, Wendy is an avid supporter of the association, and we thank Wendy Meyer for her support too. And to add to the surprise, we had their daughters Devan and Natalya arriving at the Banquet Hall to share in the celebration of this prestigious award to Michael.
