🤝 Building connections in Te Tai Tokerau 🤝

Our wonderful Supplier Engagement Lead, Ngarina and Amotai Relationship Buyer Lead, Adam Tafau Adam Tafau spent a great afternoon last week at Te Ahu Kaitaia for a Te Waka Whakatere Waihanga deal-making session, bringing together Fulton Hogan, Ventia and Amotai suppliers from across the Far North.

Te Waka Whakatere Waihanga is a targeted supplier-readiness and capability programme led by Amotai, supporting Māori businesses to participate confidently and successfully in major infrastructure projects across Aotearoa.

It was fantastic to see such a strong turnout of suppliers in the room, creating an afternoon filled with connection, kōrero and relationship building.

A valuable opportunity to connect businesses with major infrastructure partners, share capability, explore opportunities and strengthen relationships right here in the Far North.

He waka eke noa — we’re all in this together. 🌿
