Porirua Business After 5 with Whittaker's

About this event

Whittaker’s Chocolate is iconic, so much so that the Porirua-based manufacturer has recently been named New Zealand’s most iconic brand for the 11th consecutive year in a survey commissioned by Reader’s Digest.

Reaching that level of consumer trust takes a lot of work and James Ardern, Whittaker’s CEO, will host our next BA5 and tell us about the company’s belief that ‘best is always better’. James will outline how Whittaker’s dealt with Covid and the consequences of manufacturing during a pandemic, as well as showcasing the sustainability work the company has been developing, particularly their cocoa sourcing where they are recognised with a “Green Egg” award the last two years placing Whittaker’s in the top 4 of all global chocolate makers.

We are also delighted to be joined by Hon. Stuart Nash, Minister for Economic and Regional Development, Tourism, Forestry, and Small Business.

This BA5 event is a part of the wider Porirua City Council Porirua Business Month, and tickets are free for both members and non-members.

About your host:

James Ardern has been the CEO of Whittaker’s for the last five years, working in close collaboration with the Whittaker family. James’ career has been focused on leading great teams in amazing companies that manufacture, market and sell premium, quality and innovative consumer goods. Born and bred in New Zealand, James had been working in the United States for 15 years when the opportunity came up to lead Whittaker’s. James and his family proudly reside in Porirua.

We are following the Events Sector Voluntary Code. More details on this code are available here.
