Tēnā koutou katoa,
Nau mai, haere mai ki te Pānui o Poutama – your monthly hit of inspo, insight, and Māori business magic!
The year is off to a flying start, and Pakihi Māori across Aotearoa are doing the absolute most! From game-changing ideas to unstoppable pakihi, our whānau are out here making big moves — and we’re buzzing to share some of their journeys in this month’s edition.
As Raumati wraps up and Ngahuru rolls in, we’re vibing with the energy of the season — harvesting wins, planting new ideas, and backing more Māori excellence across the motu.
In this pānui, we’ve got some awesome highlights for you, including:
- Affordable Moving Solutions – residential and commercial transportation specialists
- Andrews Fencing – quality and reliable fencing services
- Māori economy updates, wānanga & events to help your business succeed
We hope you enjoy the read. Got thoughts, ideas, or just wanna say kia ora? We’d love to hear from you!
