I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Wayne over the past number of years in his role as Business & Innovation Advisor with Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development. He has always been available when we need him and has provided excellent recommendations to assist in the successful growth of our business. Wayne goes to all efforts to truly understand the people, and business opportunities and challenges to provide a wide range of business connections and resources that added value to our business in the areas of Research and Development, Export Development, Employment and Governance. I would highly recommend Wayne and his team as the passion they demonstrate coupled with the background business experience ensures the job gets done. Great work Wayne!

Enabling aspirational businesses to grow, innovate and connect.Growth businesses are key to wealth and job creation in NZ. Generating export earnings is critical to resolving NZ's net international debt situation. I'm passionate about making a difference by assisting Auckland based businesses to grow, innovate and increase their productivity.Business owners need to have the aspiration to grow their businesses, be coachable and willing to engage with external resources. None of us know everything about everything. The business advice and support services I offer are local and central government funded so provided free of charge to the businesses I work with, which are predominantly based on Auckland's North Shore where I work and live.Three key areas where I add value to business owners:1. Free independent business advice - free of commercial drivers - not trying to sell you anything2. Connectivity to opportunities and resources that will help grow and develop your business3. Govt co-funding to help develop your management capability and also assist R&D projectsI've worked with close to 1000 businesses so have a fairly significant network in the business community as well as into Govt resources such as NZTE, Callaghan Innovation, universities, NZTE registered coaches/trainers/mentors and ATEED, the economic growth agency where I work.It's a rare day that I'm unable to tap a business owner into some opportunity or resource of value to them. If your high-growth potential business is situated on the North Shore, happy to connect to see how I can assist.
