Email: [email protected]

Bio

"Hannah has been self employed for the last 15 years owning her own businesses, so understands the struggles that small business owners face. She has a passion for connecting the right people together, and helping with small business growth.

Currently Hannah owns, and manages, Rapid Exposure Social Media Management & Coaching, and also Laser Plumbing in Kerikeri.

Hannah has a passion for making small improvements in the mental health space, specifically around awareness and suicide prevention, and has made it a focus this year to bring access into the local community by starting wellness events / seminars.

Hannah is an extroverted person, trapped in solo and sometimes lonely jobs. TNG helped enormously by connecting her with like-minded individuals and says "I've found my tribe thanks to TNG. When the opportunity came along to move into the AGM position, it naturally fit with my work ethic of growth and striving to succeed and so, I take on the challenge of growing the Northland networking scene further.

When Hannah isn't working, you'll find her running around after her 3 teenage girls."

Jenny Aitken

Area Group Manager

BIO: I am a mortgage broker/adviser based in Auckland. Providing advice and helping you through the process of getting a mortgage, giving insight on your mortgage structure, and accessing the best rates is what I do, whether you are buying a home for the first time, looking at refinancing, or want to purchase a second (or third, or fourth…) property.

I have access to all types of lending. As well as first home buyers and investors, I help owners get money for renovations, debt consolidation, land purchase so you can build your own home, and also 'asset loans' - for when you have the security, but not the income.

Although the majority of my client base is on the North Shore of Auckland, I have mortgage clients nation wide.

I started my working life at Westpac, travelled overseas, and studied for a BA in media. In 2008 I established my own business HUE, and in 2011 it was named in the Deloitte's Fast 50 (as it was then). I was also named Entrepreneur of the Year in the Kitomba Business Awards. Once I sold up, I moved back to finance in 2013, and established JAM in 2016.

​I get what it’s like to want to buy your own place - but not know how to start the process (when I bought my first home, I had no idea!). I also know how to break down the process of buying an investment and making sure you have the correct structure in your borrowing to maximise your opportunities: be that tax, interest or convenience.

I am totally committed to providing individual business owners and corporates with strategic thinking and creative solutions for their visual communication needs. My aim is to provide solutions that work and at a price that provides great value and transparency in working together.

Since moving to New Zealand I have come to appreciate the kiwi lifestyle and the beauty of this country. This is where I re-engaged my love of photography when digital imaging came of age.{{ }}

Photography is now an integral part of my personal and professional life. I provide commercial photography for my clients whether it be products, people or shooting environments for use in print or online.

I am an Accredit Professional Photographer from the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography (NZIPP) and, as part of the annual photography awards submissions have achieved Master of Photography Honours (M.NZIPP II).

Jared (Jed) Roberts

Area Group Manager

I am Jed –
And here’s why I want to help you achieve your health and fitness goals – I myself was scared to walk into a gym to get fit and look better because I was worried what others might think however this challenge is nothing compared to looking in the mirror and seeing something you don’t want to. Gratefully I now know how important health and fitness is and how amazing it will make you feel. Have you ever seen people running down the road in what looked to be excruciating pain?? It really doesn’t have to be like that! Let’s take a look at some examples… Have you ever been told you must go to the gym to lose weight – well what if you hate the gym? Or you should run for 30 minutes or don’t bother – what if you hate running or don’t have 30 minutes up your sleeve? You might have been recommended a DIEt because it worked for that person – you may think the food in that DIEt is yuck, so why would you? Maybe a pill to help you lose weight (burn fat) – did you take one to gain weight… NOO. You already know the answers to these questions, they’re all just common sense so keep it simple and ignore the confusing jargon out there.

You can find your shortcut to good health in Shirley at 39 Sabina Street, Christchurch, which is very close to The Palms Shopping Mall. Ideal if you need to grab some bits after a session or perhaps just enjoy your favourite coffee.
