Our Story Your Story - Waikato Business News 25 Years
It’s a proud moment for any company to stand up and say ‘we have been serving our business community for more than 25 years’. That is the case with Waikato Business News. In that time our editors have featured many strong and exclusive stories covering the exciting business within the region, and we have built up a loyal group of advertising supporters. In our special feature “Our story Your story - 25 years” we cast our eye back over a quarter-century of business in the Waikato, and we profile many of the business leaders well known in the community, who make our region a shining light in the country.
