Tainui Group Holdings Limited

Leaders from Waikato-Tainui, local and central government, past and present board members of Tainui Group Holdings and the TGH team all came together on Tuesday evening to acknowledge the 15 year contribution of departing TGH Chief Executive Chris Joblin. A humbled Chris was presented with a steering hoe (paddle) carved by Waikato Tainui head carver Renata Te Wiata to symbolise Chris' success in helping navigate strong economic returns for the iwi, bringing Ruakura Superhub to fruition and building a high-performance culture at TGH aligned to the values of Waikato-Tainui. Ngaa mihi Chris!

Kaaore te kumara e koorero ana moo toona ake reka, engari ... A few days ago Te Arikinui Pullman Auckland Airport Hotel was acknowledged at the Designers Institute of NZ - Best Design Awards. These Awards showcase excellence in graphic, spatial, product and interactive design. Te Arikinui won Gold pins in both the Hospitality Design category and the Toitanga category. It then went on to win the Purple pins (Supreme Awards) for Overall Spatial Design and Overall Toitanga. We understand that to win a Purple pin is a rare occurrence, and to win two is really good going . As the judges commented: "This project embodies the aspirations of the first Te Tiriti settlement of Waikato-Tainui and exemplifies the vision of self-determination. Leading from the front, it elevates Aotearoa’s built environment to a new level of collaboration, innovation, and identity. The design is a testament to the power of Māori leadership in shaping the future of the nation's architecture, blending traditional values with contemporary practices in a way that honors and reflects the past, present and future. By integrating rich whakapapa into the architectural fabric, the project becomes more than just a physical space—it stands as a landmark. It weaves together the stories, traditions, and mana of those who have gone before, ensuring that the building speaks to both the past and the future. This synergy between heritage and innovation creates a space that is culturally significant, functionally modern, and timeless in its expression of identity." This hotel and all those who created her deserve these awards and this recognition. Me mihi ka tika ...
