"It's an exciting time for us as we look forward to the next chapter in our Wellington journey," Bright says.

"We look forward to a great night on 10 November celebrating with Wellingtonians from across all the many sectors that contribute to making Wellington the coolest little capital in the world.

In the 'Business' category, Bright will be up against executives in other business areas such as manufacturing, events and retail consultancy.
