We've had the pleasure of working with Moore Stephens Markhams Auckland firm on the fifth annual Pharmacy Benchmarking Report to share results of a survey of 141 pharmacy businesses around the country. It highlighted that pharmacy businesses are being challenged by new players in the marketplace such as Chemist Warehouse and online retailers.

Learn more about this special business and partnership.   Once again, we congratulate Clearview Estate on another accolade - in fact two! At the HB A&P Society Wine Awards the sensational Endeavour Chardonnay 2015 won the Chardonnay Trophy for 'best in class' and the Cape Kidnappers Merlot 2016 was announced Best Commerical Red Wine Champion.

 Check out the latest on Clearview Estate's Reserve Chardonnay - it's been selected as one of New Zealand's Fine Wines and may well be served to business premier passengers on Air New Zealand from August. Plus it took out a blind tasting win for the 2014 vintage at Expovinis, the most important wine fair held in Brazil, which saw it named the best imported white wine. Fantastic work guys and girls!
Photo - HB Today Clearview Estate Winery's Black Reef Blush (an all time favourite) is available again - with the 2017 vintage now safely bottled and winging its way to happy wine lovers around New Zealand. Here's a piece from HB Today about this sought-after wine.
 Kite recently worked with Logan Stone directors Boyd Gross and Frank Spencer to share some of their perspectives on the past year’s activities and the firm’s view on future property trends. Read Frank's take on how technology adoption is impacting on bricks and mortar real estate and Boyd's concern that Hawke's Bay's primary production powerhouse is under threat.  We recently had the privilege of sharing the inspirational story of Dave Letele aka Brown Buttabean for our new client Russell Roads. Managing Director Robbie Gale and his wife Michelle were motivated to sponsor Dave a few years ago, without having met him; they were moved by his determination to drop almost half his body weight and turn his life into one of helping others fight obesity and adopt healthier living and more positive thinking.
