Welcome to our Local Business issue, celebrating the entrepreneurs, makers, and community champions shaping the way we live, work, and connect across the region. From the overall Junction Award winner to the runners-up recognised across every category, this issue is a tribute to the businesses that show up, give back, and make this community what it is.
Discover the remarkable Kauri Museum in Matakohe, a community-built institution over 63 years in the making, and meet Tawharanui Peninsula-based educator, futurist, and one of the top 50 EdTech educators in the world, Frances Valintine CNZM.
Join us as we celebrate the local businesses that keep our community thriving – from trades and services to hospitality, wellness, and everything in between.
