Small Business Day 9th April is about celebrating, supporting and championing the heart and soul of kiwi communities - small businesses.

At Basestation, we have a lot of small businesses based here in our coworking space.

We sat down with two residents who own a small business, we asked them what they do, how coworking helps them to do this, and what it means to own a small business.

Below is the kōrero we had with KeriAnn Birch, Director and Founder of Birch and Co. KeriAnn is a bookkeeper, her tagline is ‘Crunching the numbers so you don’t have to.’

At Basestation, we are always keen to share with the wider community who's coworking with us. This month we caught up with the Downtown Tauranga team! 

This year for International Women’s Day we are sitting down with some wāhine founders at  Basestation to kōrero about their journey and learnings in setting up and running their own organisation. 

For this blog we’ve captured a conversation with Pascale Hyboud-Peron, founder and Momentum Generator (yes - that is her actual  job title!)  at Stand Tall, a Community Trust that creates the conditions for all youth to maximize their potential so that they can build the future they want to see. 

This year for International Women’s Day we are sitting down with some wāhine founders at Basestation to kōrero about their journey and learnings in setting up and running their own organisation. Meet Jackie Messam, founder and trainer at Rippled Ed.

To begin with, working from home seemed like an amazing opportunity with many positives!

Over the last few years Basestation has asked its residents to contribute non-perishable goods, toiletries and monetary donations to Under the Stars - a local charitable organisation that works alongside Tauranga’s homeless and in need.
