Our business news

Good Local Media advertising director Janine Davy and owner David Mackenzie with the November issue of Waikato Business News featuring Te Awamutu College’s Jacob Chetwin.

Te Awamutu features prominently in the revamped Waikato Business News out this week.

We speak exclusively to Waipā’s first female mayor Susan O’Regan on her national political aspirations and report on the next stage of a festering row between New Zealand Post and Te Awamutu couple Ian and Dani Kennedy.

Young Enterprise Scheme winner Jacob Chetwin features on the front page.

We also speak to the man whose vision it is to raise $10,000 for Mike King’s I Am Hope mental health crusade.

The November issue of Waikato Business News, published by Good Local Media and a sister publication to Cambridge News and Te Awamutu News, will be distributed extensively throughout Waipā for the first time.

There are several points of difference in the revamped paper, including its layout and new masthead. Good Local Media owner David Mackenzie said it was the culmination of several weeks of hard work.

Mackenzie said readers would recognise names like editor Roy Pilott and senior writers Mary Anne Gill and Viv Posselt, journalist Jeremy Smith and the rest of the experienced Good Local team.

“It’s exciting to see something that we’ve worked so hard on come to fruition.”
