Looked for, not found

  • Unable to confirm specific Hawke's Bay Tourism Award year/category that Katie Nimon personally received (vs. Nimon & Sons company award). The Profit article referenced a recognition but verbatim quote not extractable.
  • Transport Manager role at Hawke's Bay Regional Council — mentioned in multiple secondary sources but verbatim quote confirmation not achieved due to paywalls/page limits.
  • Specific year Katie Nimon became General Manager of Nimon Luxury Passenger Transport (2018 referenced in secondary sources but not extractable verbatim).

The researcher checked for these topics across the allowed public sources but could not find verbatim-quotable evidence. Absence here doesn't rule the fact out — it just means no journalist-accessible source covered it at the time of the run.
