The Pacific Business Hub Supply Nation Visit August 2024.
Today, we had the absolute pleasure of hosting & welcoming Kate Russell, CEO of Supply Nation, Jenny Wardrop, Interim Head of Membership Services at Supply Nation and Beau Hodge of Baidam Pty Ltd to The Pacific Business Hub.
Kate, her team & their delegation of First Nations businesses from Australia are here to attend the Amotai - Supplier Diversity NZ Summit. Supply Nation is the Australian leader in supplier diversity. They bring together the biggest national database of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses with the procurement teams of Australia’s leading organisations to help them engage, create relationships and do more business. They currently work with 5,000 verified indigenous businesses.
We appreciate this opportunity to showcase our work & what we do to support Pacific businesses here in Aotearoa, NZ and sharing our plans for expansion into Australia and the Pacific region with Kate & guests.
This was also an amazing opportunity for some of our HUB Connect Pacific business members to sit & have a talanoa together & do a little bit of networking with our guests. Much gratitude to our members for taking time out of their business schedules to be with us 🙏🏽
We acknowledge Joe Fuavao & Philippa Hawken Senior BDMs from Australia Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) & Trade and Investment Queensland (TIQ) for facilitating this meeting. Faafetai mo le avanoa 🙏🏽

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
