How a Hastings building company is helping Māori, community
A Hastings-based building company with a strong focus on supporting Māori is fast growing a reputation for repairing homes for those most in need.
Couple Henare and Arana Waapu started Manzis Build in Auckland but shifted to Hawke’s Bay with their young family - and business - in February 2020.
Despite the challenges of a pandemic, it has gone from strength to strength in the Bay and was the only company to be named as a finalist two years running at the 2021 and 2022 Hawke’s Bay Business Awards.
The company picked up the NZME Outstanding Community Contribution Award at the awards ceremony on Friday.
