Sheep's Milk ‘The Next Big Thing in Mainstream Health’ 🐑🥛

Maui Milk was born in 2014 out of a very simple belief that New Zealand has all the ingredients necessary to create a better, more nutritious, and more sustainable dairy product for the world, using sheep milk.

Since pioneering New Zealand’s exportation of whole milk sheep powder in 2015, Maui Milk has continued to focus on the genetic gain of its nucleus and supplier flocks. This season Maui Milk expects to produce between 3.5 and 4.0 million litres across its supplier pool.

Business Central | Congratulations to Napier's Devine Plumbing who have beaten off strong opposition to be named NZ Master Plumber of the Year. Not only that, one team member, Mandy Burgess, took out the Women in Plumbing award. 🏆🛠

Cam Devine is pretty proud of the achievement and is big on it being a team effort. It’s his quiet style of leadership and it’s a style that works, given he’s grown the business from a very small team to 24 today.

This year marks 10 years since establishing the plumbing, gasfitting, and drainage company and one which saw them stop their daily tasks and get stuck into supporting the wider community in response to the devastation caused in the Hawke’s Bay by Cyclone Gabrielle.
