What an EPIC first EPIC Connect!
Our very first EPIC Connect networking evening, held on Thursday 31st July, was a huge success – and it’s all thanks to you, our amazing Te Puke business and community whānau.
The night was buzzing with great conversation, new connections, and plenty of laughs. It was the perfect chance to come together, share ideas, and see the energy and innovation that makes Te Puke such a special place to live and work.
A massive shoutout to our wonderful hosts, Super Liquor Te Puke – that grazing spread was next level! Your hospitality set the perfect tone for the evening.
We were also privileged to have Sue Matthews from the Te Puke Kiwifruit Capital of the World Heritage Hub as our guest speaker. Sue shared an inspiring kōrero that highlighted the importance of our local heritage and community pride, leaving everyone motivated and uplifted.
This is just the beginning! We’re already looking forward to the next EPIC Connect – so be sure to mark your calendars and join us for another evening of collaboration, connection, and community spirit.
