In Hawke’s Bay, business is a pleasure.

Hawke’s Bay boasts an impressive array of industrial sectors spanning primary industry and manufacturing through to tertiary services.

Here, agriculture is strong and broad based, with an emphasis on pastoral farming and horticultural activities. This is complemented by an export-oriented primary food processing industry that includes both international giants and locally owned companies.

Other sizable manufacturing sectors include forestry and wood processing, chemicals and engineering, and boasts a small but entrepreneurial electronics and technology industry.

The region is the retail hub of the eastern North Island, has strong healthcare and education sectors and a fast growing finance, real estate and business services industry.

Tourism has also recently grown in importance to the region.

And perhaps most importantly, solid infrastructure supports local business. The Port of Napier and the airport are key strategic assets, along with a skilled and reliable workforce.

Then there’s the lower production costs, a favourable climate for growing premium quality primary products and a place where commuting is not a dirty word!
