Tēnā koutou katoa,
Nau mai, hoki mai, welcome back!
Hope you all had a fantastic break, soaking up the summer vibes of Raumati and recharging your batteries. We’re excited to kick off 2025 and reconnect with pakihi all over Aotearoa!
At Poutama, we’re all about supporting pakihi to be self-determining, successful, and sustainable. Our mission? To grow the Māori economy and pave the way for economic independence for future generations.
We’re here to make a real impact through our kaupapa and programmes, grounded in the values of whakapapa, rangatiratanga, mohiotanga, manaakitanga, and whanaungatanga.
We aim to be accessible, engaging, and responsive to your needs.
In this pānui, we’ve got some awesome highlights for you, including:
- DCH Autosport – automotive and motorsport specialists based in Ōtautahi
- Plumb South – Murihiku based plumbing and drainage services
- Taktix Films – for all your content creation, film and production needs
Keep an eye out for upcoming events, workshops, and opportunities to connect with us, our partners, and other pakihi across Aotearoa. We’re buzzing with excitement to see the incredible achievements this year will bring for all of you!
