Influenza A... it takes hold faster than you can say, “see you in the morning” (and nope, that’s not going to happen.)

Some of us went ‘offline’ for more than a few days. Even with up-to-date flu vaccinations.

What it revealed... what makes us human, shows up in the kindness of others. Thanks to super colleagues and friends.

And especially those who choose healthcare as their calling.
When we’re at our worst, they’re at their best. Legends.

Pass the lemon, or clink the cough syrup. Let’s drink to that.

Take care out there.

We hope you're having a great week!

Thanks Logan for this refresher on Business Partnerships, and why in the spirit of working together professionally, written formalities just make sense.

Good intent, enthusiasm and a shared vision are great starters for a business partnership. Agreeing the detail upfront can make that journey ahead smoother and give you both peace of mind.

Need some creative magic to brighten up your winter weekend?

Don’t miss the Winterlights in Takapuna, on now until Sunday, 2nd August. Featuring sculptural light artists, installations, dance, food, entertainers… you name it…

https://www.winterlights.nz

Probably the only time you can put ‘inflatable lizards doing crazy air swimming’ and ‘glow-in-the-dark candy floss’ in one sentence.

Businesses are open, and the festival is well managed and pedestrian safe for families. There are 3 session times depending on the day:
– 5 to 7pm
– 7 to 8:30pm
– 8:30 to 10pm

Book online for a free ticket to be scanned on entry - (a fair system to avoid too many people turning up at once.)

Awesome work ‘I Love Takapuna’ for running a great event in what is a brilliantly landscaped community and retail space.
👏

Thanks Casino Tiatia for this article - one for Auckland businesses…
A reminder that FareShare is a great way to help employees who are facing higher fuel prices, and cost of living pressure.

Launched in 2024, Auckland Transport’s initiative promotes the use of buses, trains and ferries at subsidised rates, supported by employers.

Public transport may not be a viable option for everyone, but for those who do simply need to get from A to B, and are struggling with parking costs as well, a 25% transport subsidy could be an appealing saving.

And not forgetting the CRL due to open this year… there will be new routes and practical connections to promote the use of this scheme.

If you can, get on board. Less traffic + lower emissions 🌲

Okay, forgive us. We spiced up some fairly dry deadlines from IRD...

No excuses this weekend... it's game on and time to give the work-life balance a nudge. History is in the making.

Have an epic one!

Have a very special Matariki with your whanau and friends. Time to rug up and look skyward.

Matariki is a day to remember loved ones, and celebrate the ‘here and now’ of life… as you make those plans for the future.

We hope you enjoy some well deserved downtime over the weekend! ⭐

A tough subject that we hope no one ever has to experience. Unfortunately, losing a business partner can happen, without warning.

In this article Logan explains a safeguard that can give everyone involved in your business, peace of mind.

Sunshine or snow, creating income from your home or bach as a holiday rental has its appeal – especially if you want to offset increasing rates and maintenance costs. 👍

Before you do, read Guy Grahams’s helpful article – a ‘straight-up guide’ on what is considered taxable activity for holiday rentals and Airbnbs, and covers the detail on potential GST obligations.
