General Manager update June 2024: Staying connected
Winter may be upon us, but the Wiri Business Association is buzzing with activity as we continue to champion and support our vibrant business community. Here’s a quick look into the latest updates and initiatives that are shaping a cleaner, more resilient, and connected Wiri.
Keeping Wiri Tidy:
We’re steadfast in our commitment to a clean and welcoming environment. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of Manukau Beautification, regular rubbish collection is keeping our streets tidy. Your vigilance is crucial! Please report any instances of illegal dumping to [email protected], ensuring a swift response.
Business Resilience:
Empowering businesses to weather and unforeseen challenges is a top priority. Our partnership with Simplexity has yielded a comprehensive toolkit, including an invaluable Business Continuity Planning Guide. Available on our website wiribiz.org.nz/emergency-preparedness/ or request a printed copy to safeguard your operations.
Business Boost:
We’re thrilled to celebrate the five businesses awarded funding in the last round of our Business Boost program! The next deadline is July 31st – take this opportunity to secure support for your growth initiatives in areas like marketing, technology, and more.
Transport Management:
Efficient and sustainable transport is vital for a thriving Wiri. We’ve launched a survey to understand your commuting patterns and preferences. Your feedback will shape targeted solutions that address your transportation needs. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey by scanning the QR code below.
Truck Parking:
We hear your concerns about inconsiderate truck parking. Your reports, including photos, have been instrumental in identifying frequent offenders. We’re engaging with industry organizations and Auckland Transport, exploring enforcement options to ensure safe and accessible streets for all.
Upcoming Events:
Mark your calendars for our upcoming Networking Drinks on the first Thursday of each month at Woodside Bar & Restaurant. It’s a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow business owners, share ideas, and build valuable relationships in a relaxed setting. We also have our Business Breakfast with Nigel Latta coming up in August. Register early so you don’t miss out.
We’re Here for You:
Your success is our success. The WBA team is always available to answer questions, provide resources, and connect you with valuable networks. Reach out to us at [email protected] or 09 262 0804. Let’s continue working together to make Wiri a thriving hub of innovation and collaboration.
