Tait Electronics is a major sponsor in the Allied Telesyn New Zealand Hi Tech Awards, to be held in Christchurch from 30 September to 1 October.

This event is New Zealand's most prestigious celebration of our successful software, electronics and biotechnology companies as well as honouring outstanding individual achievement.

This year Tait is sponsoring the Deal of the Year Award and the Industry Forum breakfast. This sponsorship is a continuance of the company's previous involvement and commitment to this high profile event - Tait sponsored the Hi Tech Flying Kiwi Award in 2004, and in 2003 Sir Angus Tait himself received the Flying Kiwi Award and induction into the New Zealand Hi Tech Hall of Fame.

This award celebrates the New Zealander who has achieved significant success in the Hi Tech sector for themselves and their organisation through immense and sustained personal effort.

2003 was a successful year for Tait at the Hi Tech Awards - the company was commended in the Deal of the Year category, and Stephen Mann won the Young Achiever of the Year Award.
