Basestation Mana Enhancing Understanding
At the beginning of the year we started asking our residents for feedback - we asked “What’s working and what’s not working.”
As well as some really lovely feedback (which we will share shortly in our social media), there were some items we were able to action or fix, and some we are still working on. One of the outcomes from doing this was to create a Basestation Mana Enhancing Understanding.
Small Business Day: Kōrero with Andrew Mahon from MOCA
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 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 Andrew Mahon, Director and Owner of MOCA. MOCA is a web development company based in Tauranga and employs seven staff and two contractors (all New Zealand based).
