We’ve got some great events coming up, and our GM Gary has taken a few minutes to share why he thinks they’re worth putting in your calendar.

Two in particular that we’d love local businesses to get along to:

🥞 Networking Breakfast with Justin Flitter:

A great opportunity to explore how AI is changing the way we work, do business and create opportunities.

🈺 Business in Conversation with Hon. Cameron Brewer, Minister of Small Business, Minister of Manufacturing.

An opportunity to hear directly from Hon. Cameron Brewer and engage in conversation around the issues that matter to our business community.

👉 Check out Gary’s video and make sure you’re registered for the events you don’t want to miss!

Auckland manufacturer Sowndra Rajan Palanisamy has warned that small factories are nearing breaking point as costs rise and imports undercut local production. He has urged the government to provide practical support to protect jobs, skills and local industry. His appeal highlights a growing crisis across New Zealand’s small-business economy, where many enterprises are focused not on growth but on survival.
