AGAIN AGAIN
Guilt-free Cups Deluxe....
After a light bulb moment in March 2018, in which Nada Piatek Managing Director, (pictured) saw a systematic approach to addressing single-use waste in the coffee industry, Again Again was born – and so was the reusable takeaway coffee cup revolution.
"Again Again offers a sustainable solution – in a Kiwi industry that sees 295 million single-use cups entering landfills and the ecosystem annually – through a reusable and refundable coffee cup share system, which stops upwards of 820,000 single-use cups entering landfills annually.” Nada tells us.
The reusable steel cups are available with a deposit and return at participating cafes, giving coffee fiends peace of mind with every sip.

2021 WINNER: FARM FOCUS
Helping farmers use data smarter
​
Farm Focus has been providing premium financial management software since 1981. The company’s application provides farmers with a big picture view of farm performance, helping them with forecasting and planning decisions.
Its new cloud-based platform delivers significant ease-of-use and labour-saving benefits, and enables continued innovations and integrations to other applications. Because data input is automated, information arrives ready to be consumed.
“Rather than spending their time gathering data, farmers are working with the outputs of that data, really bringing to life the company’s vision of informed farmers making confident decisions,” says CEO Brian Eccles (pictured).
“We also like to think we can provide hard-working farmers with ‘time off farm’, which benefits both farming families and rural communities.”
