We are excited to announce that Preston Corp was named the winner of the Employer of the Year Award at The Wellington Gold Awards 2026.
Preston Corp began in 1904 with Arthur Edward Preston delivering meat around Wellington with a horse and cart. Fast forward 122 years, and the fifth generation of Prestons share the same passion of those who came before them across our four brands: Preston’s Master Butchers, KAM Transport NZ, Preston Foods, and Ken Wilson Meats.
Our success comes down to our people and we see our 180 staff as an extension of our family.
We believe in putting people first, creating opportunities, and supporting their careers and families.
Congratulations to all the other finalists and award winners. Wellington has some amazing businesses and we’re incredibly proud to receive this recognition.
