While our primary focus is on supporting Pacific businesses, we embrace inclusivity and diversity, welcoming non-Pacific businesses and entrepreneurs who share our values and seek a collaborative, innovative environment. This openness enriches our community, creating a broader exchange of ideas, opportunities, and growth.
|
The Pacific Business Hub is more than just a workspace; it’s a community built on the belief that working together benefits everyone. We aim to create "win-win-win" outcomes for all – ourselves, our members, stakeholders, and the community connected to our Hubs.
Our welcoming, professional environment promotes collaboration, mutual support, and shared success, encapsulated by our mantra, “Rising tides lift all boats." |

Our Hubs are intentionally designed to reflect our 'Pacifica-ness' while maintaining a professional, uplifting atmosphere. This environment supports the initiation, development, and expansion of businesses, embodying our commitment to empowerment for all who walk through our doors.

Empowerment is central to our mission. We equip individuals with the knowledge, skills, and resources for a prosperous future, offering collaborative support that leverages our expertise and extensive networks.

Our future aspirations extend beyond our current locations. We envision establishing more Pacific Business Hubs in regional New Zealand and overseas in areas with growing Pacific populations.
By creating a network of interconnected Hubs, we aim to support Pacific businesses globally. For example, a Hub in Samoa could assist professionals or businesses from overseas, providing them with office space and local business guidance. Likewise, if someone from Samoa wants to start a business in New Zealand, we’ll offer them resources and guidance. This vision is about building a global Pacific economy and business community. Connecting Hubs across regions and countries creates a support system that transcends borders, enabling Pacific businesses to thrive no matter where they are located. |

She has shown this through her work in the Pacific community and through the initiatives she has developed throughout her working career which spans 10 plus years. One of those initiatives, was setting up the Samoa Business Network 6 years ago which is an organisation she runs on a voluntary basis which forms the basis of many of the work she is currently undertaking. With her 10 plus years experience in the retail finance & banking industry in New Zealand coupled with her experience with dealing with different types of businesses, she knows the challenges business owners face hence the development of "The Pacific Business Hub". She has strong interpersonal, influencing and relationship building skills and she has in the span of her career built many networks to include many influential people in the local and Pacific community, in government both in New Zealand and Samoa, church organisations and the New Zealand and Pacific business and community. She has vast experience, knowledge and understanding of how to deal with people of different walks of life through her career but also through her travels abroad and will have no problem adapting her approach to reflect her audience. Laura is currently the CEO who overlooks the overall operations of The Pacific Business Hub. Laura drives the strategic plans and goals, source and create opportunities, develop and maintain stakeholder engagement and relations. Now that Walter has stepped into the business full-time, they are jointly responsible for achieving the vision and mission of the Hub. |
