Ko Riann Umaga-Marshall raua ko Tumatauenga Umaga-Marshall ngā kaiwhiwhi o tēnei pakihi.
Proud Māori and Pasifika business owners passionate about our people and the future of our collective whānau and that of our country. With a strong connection to the Moana (living on Rangiwaea Island, Tauranga) our brand has grown out of that connection and represents our past, present and future. The curves in our logo represent this as well as the duality of our vast oceans - the chaos & calm.
One translation of the Kupu ‘Tahora’ is open ocean. We see business and all the vast opportunities and risks in a similar way to the ocean. It will come with ups and downs, rough patches and challenges but we are here to help business owners find safe passage and navigate their own waka through whatever comes their way.
