Celebrating the Future of New Zealand Retail: Kora Fuels Outstanding New Talent

At Kora Fuel Cards, we’re proud to support the people who keep New Zealand businesses moving forward. That’s why we’re delighted to sponsor the Outstanding New Talent Award at the 2026 Retail NZ Awards.

Retail is an industry built on innovation, resilience and exceptional people. The Outstanding New Talent Award recognises emerging retail professionals who are already making a significant impact within their organisations and helping shape the future of the sector.

Today, we’re thrilled to congratulate Daniel Tollenaar from Nutrition Warehouse on being named the recipient of the 2026 Kora Outstanding New Talent Award.

The award celebrates individuals who demonstrate exceptional potential, leadership and dedication within New Zealand's retail industry. 

Through their commitment to delivering outstanding results for customers, colleagues and their business, Daniel Tollenaar stood out.

We also congratulate Trinity Ries from Shopology, whose achievements and contribution to the retail sector made them a deserving finalist / runner up in this year’s award.

As part of Kora’s support for the category, we’re pleased to recognise both finalists with ServiceIQ vouchers to support their ongoing professional development and career growth.

At Kora, we believe investing in people is one of the most important ways to strengthen New Zealand businesses. By recognising and rewarding emerging talent, we’re helping encourage the next generation of retail leaders to continue developing their skills and making a positive impact in their workplaces and communities.

The calibre of entries for the 2026 Retail NZ Awards reflects the innovation, creativity and determination driving New Zealand retail forward. We congratulate all finalists and winners for their outstanding achievements and contribution to the industry.

To  Nutrition Warehouse, congratulations on this well-deserved recognition. We look forward to seeing where your retail career takes you next.
