APR Consultants Director - Deryck Shaw has completed his term as Chair of the Te Puia - Rotorua, NZ Mฤori Arts and Crafts Institute (NZMACI) Board ๐Ÿ‘ (article below).

Weโ€™re pleased to announce that Mฤori Development Minister Tama Potaka has confirmed the appointment of Fletcher Tabuteau as Chair of the Te Puia New Zealand Mฤori Arts and Crafts Institute (NZMACI) Board. He succeeds Deryck Shaw who started on the Board in 2007 as Deputy Chair for 13 years, then becoming the Crown appointed Chair for the last four years when the New Zealand Mฤori Arts and Crafts Institute Vesting Act 2020 was passed.

Deryckโ€™s Crown appointment was initially for a 12-month period, then extended due to Covid-19 and weโ€™d like to acknowledge his time as chair through some of the most challenging times the business has ever seen, as we navigated the Covid-19 pandemic and developed a better business model for the future.

Deryckโ€™s governance experience, measured approach to decision making, guidance, business experience and support will always be revered with the utmost respect and appreciation โ€“ weโ€™d like to thank him deeply for everything.

Te Puia | NZMACI is excited to welcome Fletcher Tabuteau as the new Chair โ€“ read more in the official Beehive media release below, about his wide experience and connections:

Our Director Deryck Shaw recently spoke to the BLAKE Inspire program students at Te Puia - Rotorua, NZ, along with Desirae Kirby from the Rotorua Sustainable Charter (details below).

The Rotorua Sustainable Charter and Te Puia hosted BLAKE Inspire students on Wednesday as they took on their week-long residential leadership development programme in partnership with the Ministry for the Environment.

Throughout the week BLAKE Inspire students worked together with scientists, environmental experts, a diverse range of leaders and other like-minded students across the Waikato and Bay of Plenty to develop strong leadership skills while learning about topical environmental issues and how they can take action to tackle them.

Rotorua Sustainable Charter Sustainability Advisor Desirae Kirby said she enjoyed sharing the Charter's kaupapa and highlighting the sustainability work of its members with the next generation of environmental leaders.

โ€œThe students were engaged in the presentation and asked insightful questions around how businesses can move forward on their sustainability journey.

โ€œAs a founding member of the Rotorua Sustainable Charter โ€“ Te Puia was the perfect place to highlight the sustainability effort being undertaken across Rotorua," she said.

Te Puia Board Chair, Deryck Shaw also spoke to the Inspire students about the legacy of New Zealand Mฤori Arts and Crafts Institute and how the business had been impacted by Covid-19 and had changed its business model to more closely reflect the Kaupapa of a more immersive and personable visitor experience.

To celebrate our long and noteworthy history and relationships, we hosted two events to acknowledge the legacy of APR and to provide a glimpse into ways we can serve future clients.

We hosted a Business After 5 (BA5) in the foyer of the Rotorua Business Hub as a thank-you to past clients and as an invitation for future clients to consider us for services to assist on their projects. The BA5 served to highlight the range of projects we have been involved in enabling great outcomes for our clients over 40 years.

We also invited past and present staff to celebrate our 40th anniversary with a dinner and social event at Holdens Bay Holiday Park and Conference Centre. We spent the evening reminiscing on the company's beginnings and growth, sharing stories about how employees have grown on their own career journeys since leaving APR, and we enjoyed some amazing food prepared by Sonia Beasley. The cutting of the โ€œ40thโ€ cake was also a major highlight of the evening.

So, hereโ€™s to the last 40 years of hard work, and to the next 40, where we constantly strive to evolve and continue working to realise the vision of our amazing clients and staff. If you are interested in working with us to achieve your vision, flick us an email at [email protected], and we will endeavour to connect with you soon.
