He pānui whakahirahira | Exciting news from across the Tū Ātea Group!

We're proud to welcome Jo Stansfield to the Tū Ātea whānau as the new Chief Executive of Tū Ātea Network Services Ltd.

Jo joins us from Fortysouth New Zealand, where, as Chief Operating Officer, she played a key role in building one of Aotearoa's leading infrastructure businesses. She will lead Broadtech, Johnston Dick & Associates (JDA), and TransWorks, bringing together more than 50 years of engineering heritage, national transmission capability, and specialist data centre expertise to help keep Aotearoa connected.

At the same time, we'd like to acknowledge Merv Taylor for his outstanding leadership during a significant period of change. Merv has helped guide Tū Ātea Network Services through its transition to full Māori ownership and has strengthened the foundations for the future. We're grateful that he will continue to share his knowledge and experience as Strategic Advisor.

Nau mai, haere mai, Jo. We look forward to the journey ahead, while also extending our heartfelt thanks to Merv for his leadership and dedication.

Ka tū ātea, ka ora ai te iwi.

Last week we hosted our second lot of tauira from Ōtāhuhu College, for our school holiday work experience programme.

Throughout the week they gained hands-on experience, visited Transworks, learned more about internet infrastructure and connectivity, and explored career opportunities in the industry.

To wrap up the week, the tauira presented what they'd learned to our kaimahi, Stevie and Moresby, who had been mentoring them throughout their placement.

We hope to see you in the future!

Ko te reo te mauri o te mana Māori.

📍We attended a special kaupapa tonight as Google New Zealand and Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori celebrated the launch of a new Google Maps voice for Aotearoa.

This milestone builds on the partnership established in 2023 to support te reo Māori in the digital world. The new AI-powered Aotearoa voice can correctly pronounce many te reo Māori place names, helping ensure the names of our towns and cities are heard as they were intended.

It's another step towards seeing and hearing te reo Māori become a natural part of everyday life.

Ka whāngaia, ka tipu, ka puāwai.
That which is nurtured will grow, then blossom.

This morning we held a whakatau to welcome Theo to the Feenix team.

Theo Benvie-Watson (Rongowhakaata, Ngāti Kaipoho) has joined Feenix Communications as a Junior Network Operations Engineer.

Last year, Theo was a recipient of our Young Māori Leaders Scholarship through AUT. Today, we're proud to welcome him as a kaimahi within our Tū Ātea whānau.

This is exactly what these initiatives are designed to achieve: creating pathways that support Māori talent from study into meaningful careers, where hard work is met with opportunity.

Nau mai, haere mai, Theo. We're excited to have you on the journey with us.

He nui ngā mihi ki a Tainui Group Holdings koutou katoa hoki o Waikato mō te whakatū i te hui whakahirahira, arā, ko Aka Raupapa.

He aha te kai o te kōrero? He whanaungatanga, he māramatanga, he mōhiotanga.

A huge thank you to TGH for hosting Aka Raupapa, the inaugural national freight and supply chain 'super hui'.

We were proud to have CEO, Antony Royal, and Group Legal & Governance Lead, Haylee Putaranui, represent Tū Ātea. Across the 2-day hui, common themes emerged around stronger collaboration, deeper relationships, and an enterprise mindset that will strengthen Aotearoa through digital, physical and technological infrastructure - plus some mind-blowing AI!

One of the highlights was a panel discussion featuring some of our partners, including ASB, Māori kiwifruit growers, and Ahuwhenua Trusts across Te Tairāwhiti ki Te Matau-a-Māui.

The kōrero explored how Te Ōhanga Māori, a $126 billion asset base contributing more than $32 billion annually to Aotearoa's GDP, is and will always be underpinned by whakapapa and whenua, with an enduring commitment to creating a stronger future for ngā uri whakaheke, our future generations.

We look forward to deepening our partnerships as an infrastructure-aligned Māori digital partner, supporting Aka Raupapa and across the sector to strengthen digital capability and collaboration.

Broadtech, who are part of the Tū Ātea Group, have partnered with Fortysouth to deliver critical mobile infrastructure across the Waikato.

Over the past 12 months, six new mobile sites have been completed, with another six planned. Together, these sites are improving connectivity along key transport routes, increasing network resilience, and helping keep communities, businesses, and visitors connected.

As demand for mobile data and digital services continues to grow, investment in shared infrastructure is essential. These new sites will support safer journeys, strengthen regional productivity, and improve coverage for local hapori, freight networks, and the hundreds of thousands of visitors travelling through the Waikato each year.

Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this project to life, including the teams at Fortysouth, Broadtech, One NZ, Spark, and our local partners.

It was also great to see member of the Tū Ātea Board, Mike Jenkins, joining project partners to celebrate this important milestone.

Awesome to be a part of building the infrastructure that keeps Aotearoa connected.
