June is Business Month in Porirua
Porirua’s local businesses will be celebrated this month with a variety of free events and insights from speakers.
The month is aimed at both business owners and customers, with the aim to inspire, share unique industry knowledge, and connect local business owners with each other and our community.
Speakers at events include former Olympian Barbara Kendall, Pacific Health Plus chair John Fiso, Infometrics Chief Executive Brad Olsen, and Te Rūnanga o Toa Rangatira Chief Executive Helmut Modlik.
Business Month reflects the diversity of businesses in Porirua, with speakers covering the general economic picture in Porirua, running a business from a Pacific perspective, the power of a circular economy, how buyers are connected with Māori and Pacific-owned businesses, and wāhine in business.
Love Local – which is in its fifth year – is happening on Saturday 8 June, from 10am-4pm at Te Rauparaha Arena. Entry is free.
All the Business Month events will be held in various locations across Porirua during June. All are free, although many require pre-registration.
