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
ADULTTOYMEGASTORE
The Retailer Normalising Pleasure
Adulttoymegastore (ATMS) is the go-to online adult retailer for Kiwis – and thousands of others around the world – for sex toys, sexual health products, lingerie, and gaining knowledge.
“There’s more to us than selling products. We’re changing perceptions, stimulating conversations around sex, inclusivity and body positivity, and reducing stigma around self-love, sex and sex toys through initiatives, education, conversations, partnerships and marketing,” says owner Nicola Relph (pictured).
“The 35% growth we’ve had over the past 12 months in New Zealand alone shows how sex toys are becoming normalised and mainstream.”
Born out of Wellington in 2009, the multi-award-winning ATMS aims to replicate their local success in the international market, while continuing to support and raise awareness for numerous environmental and social causes

LOWE & CO REALTY
Homerun Home Team
Lowe & Co Realty are a fast-growing real estate agency based in Wellington City.
“We have become one of Wellington's most prominent and well-known real estate brands in Wellington in just five years,” says Managing Director Craig Lowe (pictured).
“We think this is an enormous achievement since the industry is typically dominated – in each local area – by just a few legacy brands that are decades, and even over 100 years old in some cases.”
Lowe & Co Realty experienced a growth rate of 31.77% in the last financial year and nearly doubled their salesperson count over the last 12 months – which is a key driver of their business growth. Their main goal is to roll out their system to the rest of Aotearoa.
