Sometimes a brand relies less on imagery and glossy paper, and more on language, type and sparing use of colour. No.5 demonstrates how a design concept can engage, direct and inform, subtly and effectively. The results speak for themselves and No.5 is expected to draw in the masses wanting to ...Read more

Look what can happen if you just ask…

By Leisa Epplett, December 19th, 2011

 Back in July this year I was fortunate enough to attend a few of the Hastings District Council Leadership week events.  For me the highlight was definitely listening to Rob Fyfe, CEO of Air NZ.  Rob is a truly inspirational leader and wasn’t a bad speaker either!

By steve evans, November 22nd, 2011

In our experience, almost every employer we talk to would like to offer redundant staff support to get them back into employment as swiftly as possible.
