We've just returned from beautiful Nelson after attending the 47th Annual Apparelmaster Conference — and what an incredible few days it was!
This flagship event brings together Apparelmaster delegates, suppliers, and industry leaders from across Aotearoa for four packed days of insights, inspiration, and networking.
A major highlight was the Gala Awards Evening at the iconic Rutherford Hotel, where excellence across the network was recognised.
We’re proud to announce that Pryor's Apparelmaster was named:

We also celebrated several other big wins:
