What is the most important thing in the world? The Māori proverb teaches us that it is “the people, the people, the people.” Many organisations have in place a progressive procurement policy based on the principles of ‘buy local’, ‘support the little guy’ and ‘empowering communities’. Indeed, wellbeing and social procurement is increasingly a non-negotiable element of any project funded to any degree by central or local government.

Trusted by Leaders

"The multi-award winning Te Hiku o te Ika Revitalisation Project has delivered, and continues to deliver, outstanding results generated by excellent community engagement and empowerment. It has involved hard-to-reach, frequently disenfranchised groups and created a sense of community identity and belonging. The coordination, expertise and professional know- how that Northern Edge brought to the project was key to its success."
Shaun Clarke
Chief Executive, Far North District Council (2017-2022)
"Blair and Kylie were like the glue to the project; Northern Edge was essential to link our government- funded project to enable us to deliver tangible social outcomes that far exceeded the set targets and expectations. I totally believe this wouldn’t have been possible without them."
