The Professional Bar and Restaurant School wins Best Export to India Award

The Professional Bar and Restaurant School was delighted to receive the Best Export to India Award at the Indian Newslink Indian Business Awards 2010 on the 15th Of November at the Stamford Plaza.

The award was in addition to the School gaining recognition for the Westpac Supreme Business award in 2009 at the Waitakere Business Awards. Managing Directors Luella Bartlett and Scott Ramsay said ‘we are honoured the Indian Business Community has recognised our contribution to both the New Zealand and Indian economies for providing high quality, market leading, export education’.

The awards Presentation and Gala Black Tie Dinner was attended by Governor General Rt Hon Sir Anand Satyanand, Lady Susan Satyanand, Prime Minister Rt Hon John Key, Leader of the Opposition Hon Phil Goff, Trade Minister Tim Groser and Indian High Commissioner His Excellency Retd Admiral Sureesh Mehta who were among the Guests of Honour. About 500 businesspersons, professionals and others were present on the occasion.

New Zealand currently has a $2.1 billion student export industry, plus a growing reputation in India and beyond for providing quality education and training at a competitive price. New Zealand is currently one of the top five countries in the world providing high-end training for an emerging generation of Indian young people who want the skills to make good in the global economy.

The students from India The Professional Bar and Restaurant School are training are already contributing to the New Zealand and International economies, filling a market gap in the lead up to the Rugby World cup for desperately needed skilled bar and restaurant staff. Students are able to work 20 hours per week whilst on a student permit and are a key contributor to the hospitality industry.

Quality export education is increasing important to the overall health of the New Zealand economy and The Professional Bar and Restaurant School has recognised the key to increasing our student export earnings is to recognise that it is a rapidly evolving market (both in terms of which countries students come from and what they will pay good money to study) and to be first to the emerging markets with a product tailored to its needs. The Professional Bar and Restaurant School has been meeting and growing with this need as has been shown with the recognition from these awards.
