Our Core Values:
The core values embodied below are centered around Maori concepts. As a New Zealand based organisation, our culture and identity is super important to us.

We enable others and put others first. We work hard behind the scenes and desire to take minimal credit for success but full responsibility for failure. A core principle we believe and act in is based around Level 5 leadership.
Manaakitanga: Generosity
We give for the long-term benefit of others and the future generations. What guides us is how we can care for other people and doing the right thing. Cooperation and mutual understanding with all stake-holders.
Whanaungatanga: Relationahip
Building deep and enduring relationships with all stake holders, close community and a sense of family - the importance of others.

Whakatere: Hustle
A sense of both navigation and acceleration. We act decisively and operate lean, maneuvering ourselves in the relentless pursuit of excellence. Fail quick, nail quick and scale quick.
