Our long association with Maori business has shown us that New Zealand’s tangata whenua have a talent for recognising and developing good business opportunities. Since the late1800s, we’ve worked alongside Maori entrepreneurs and iwi groups as they’ve forged ahead in tourism, hospitality, construction, forestry, agriculture and a wide range of other industries.

Over the years we’ve gained a special appreciation of the values and aspirations that make Maori businesses different. For instance, we recognise the need for open communication and the importance of respecting cultural traditions. We also understand that managing and growing iwi wealth is vital for the long-term strength of New Zealand’s economy.
