OUR BLOG

I founded STILL in 2020 with a purpose to create a community of remarkable businesses, ideas, and new ways of seeing the world from Aotearoa New Zealand.

For generations my family have built businesses that support people’s wellbeing. STILL is the next evolution of this tradition focusing solely on New Zealand.

At STILL, we work with an extreme long-term outlook. We’re interested in businesses and projects which have a positive impact on the human experience today and will continue to have a positive impact on communities centuries from now.

STILL’s primary areas of interest are people, nature, arts and culture. It is through these lenses that we decide which businesses, investments, collaborations, cultural projects, and not for profits to start, acquire or invest in.

Across our businesses, we are a team of over 500 people.

We have an outstanding team at STILL and in our STILL 100 operating businesses. I am grateful to be working with so many exceptional teams and driven individuals. I thank them for all of their great visionary work.

At Still we are interested in hearing from enduring small to medium sized businesses, people with innovative ideas and new perspectives, artists, and people that want to make a long term impact on the future of New Zealand and its communities.

Through this blog I look forward to sharing more about STILL, the journey, and the ideas that shape STILL’s thinking, as we create a connected network and culture that I would like you to be a part of. We hope you join us as we create a positive future in Aotearoa New Zealand for the next generations.
