Change and growth, what’s on the horizon in Kāpiti?

The Electra Business Breakfast Kāpiti is delighted to be hosting two speakers at the March breakfast, Brendan Duffy Chair Business Kāpiti Horowhenua Incorporated and Wayne Maxwell Chief Executive Kāpiti Coast District Council.

Nothing ever stays the same, change is constant, and growth is always in our lense. The Electra Business Awards is at an important crossroad with sustainable growth at the centre of its mindset. Kāpiti Coast District Council is also only too aware of the growth within the District which is going to keep escalating. The Council is a key supporter of the Electra Business Awards.

Brendan is no stranger to change and challenges, so he is excited to share where the Awards are heading at this breakfast. Wayne oversees a complex local government organisation that celebrates the people and places that make Kāpiti a great place to call home, to visit and to work. His talk will focus on the growth that is coming.

See you there! Book early to avoid disappointment.
