Every year the NZFCF recognises a member who has made a significant contribution to the Federation

Electronic Navigation Shield Recipient

Every year at the annual conference - which has been held for over 50 years - an important presentation is made by Electronic Navigation Ltd to a NZFCF member who has gone beyond to support and promote the Federation. 

This year’s recipient was Donna Wells from FinestKind Limited. Donna runs a successful seafood quota brokerage and is provider of quality seafood, based in Nelson. This award is a most worthy recognition for the valuable support, dedication and assistance Donna has continuously provided to the NZFCF for more than thirty years. Donna is passionate about recognising Women in Seafood, so it is fitting she herself is recognised with this accolade.
