Auckland, New Zealand – On July 24th, Advanced Group proudly hosted its 2025 Supplier Awards at the Remuera Club in Auckland, bringing together key industry partners and service providers for an evening of recognition, connection, and celebration. This annual event honours the exceptional contributions of suppliers and has become a highlight on the company calendar.
The evening saw attendance from a wide range of suppliers and service providers, reflecting the breadth and strength of the company’s partnerships.
Advanced Group CEO and Founder Mike Marr commented, “It’s great to celebrate our suppliers and service providers. Now in their 11th year, these awards are especially meaningful as they’re voted on by our staff and recognise the vital role our partners play in delivering outcomes for our customers. We congratulate all the winners and thank every one of our supply partners for their continued efforts”.
As the umbrella brand for Advanced Security, Cablenet, IT Engine, Everlert, Technology Leasing, Synergy and ASG Technologies, Advanced Group showcased its commitment to collaboration and innovation across its network during the awards evening.
A decade in, the 2025 Supplier Awards continue to reflect the company’s holistic approach to excellence—acknowledging not only technical and infrastructure suppliers but also those in accommodation, fleet, and professional services.
Awards were presented across various categories for Advanced Group’s brands—Advanced Security, Cablenet, and IT Engine—as well as Advanced Group itself. Each nominee was evaluated on service quality, innovation, sustainability, and their overall contribution to successful partnerships.

Their work directly impacts our ability to deliver industry-leading solutions, and our awards night is all about celebrating their mahi. Our suppliers aren’t just vendors, they’re innovation partners”.
