What does it take to keep a family business going for 30 years?
Lynfords Furniture has done it, and we are proud to congratulate them on this milestone. Proudly local and family-run, with stores in Blenheim and Stoke, Nelson, they have spent three decades helping people create comfortable, welcoming homes.
Along the way they have offered a great range of quality furniture, including New Zealand-made pieces, and the kind of friendly, helpful service that turns a first visit into a long-term customer.
Thirty years is a long time to keep a business growing, adapting and looking after its people. Lynfords is part of The Alternative Board community, and we are delighted to celebrate this milestone with them.
Congratulations, Lynfords. Here's to the next chapter!

Building a business shouldn’t mean running yourself into the ground.

Long days and constant decisions can make it hard to switch off, spend time with family, or think beyond the next urgent task.

The Alternative Board New Zealand helps business owners make space to step back, talk through what’s weighing on them, and decide what needs to change. Coaching and a Business Advisory Board can offer a fresh perspective and support as you work towards a business that fits the life you want—not just one that keeps you busy.

Looking after yourself is part of leading well.

Feeling caught in the day-to-day? You’re not the only one.

In The Alternative Board NZ member survey, 71.2% of respondents said that before joining they’d felt busy reacting to daily demands or unsure what to change.
Try pausing to ask: What’s the real issue? What decision needs attention? What’s one practical next step?

A sounding board can help you see your options more clearly and follow through on what matters.

Business owners are often the ones checking in on everyone else. This World Mental Health Day, remember to check in with yourself too.

Running a business can bring pressure from people, customers, cash flow, decisions and the future.
If you are feeling constantly tired, overwhelmed or unable to switch off, do not keep carrying it alone. Talk to someone you trust or a qualified health professional.
And if the pressure is coming from the business, reach out to The Alternative Board team.

We are across both islands and can help with business coaching, management training, leadership alignment and practical ways to improve the business.

Start with a coffee and an honest conversation.
