Our aim is to provide a flexible working environment providing affordable office and co-working spaces, hot-desking solutions including business support and services to;
Shared office and co-working spaces is not a new concept or idea and is the current trend of operating and doing business in this day and age BUT the Pacific Business Hub is unique in a sense that it will be focusing on a ‘niche market’. That niche market being the ‘Pacific Business Community’.
There are currently no facilities, co-working and shared office space that caters for a specific audience and needs and in this case Pacific business owners and entrepreneurs.
By providing this space and services will contribute to the economic development not only for the Pacific community but New Zealand as a whole through new business establishments, increased business productivity and activity, increase in business sustainability, employment growth as businesses grow and more.

Furthermore...
The Pacific Business Hub aims to provide an ‘enabling’ space for businesses that are owned and operated by Pacific Peoples. Our core target audience, is Pacific peoples because that is who we are and we consider it a niche market with untapped potential.
An ‘empowering’environment to encourage entrepreneurship, business creativity and innovation. A space for Pacific business owners and entrepreneurs to conduct their daily, weekly, monthly or yearly business activities – whether it’s meetings, an office or a desk to work from, pop-up store set up, product and/or brand launches or establishing having a business presence with an address…the potential is endless!
Overall it will be an enabling environment to provide business support, a place of empowerment to develop, nurture and grow businesses which in turn enriches people’s lives.
It is a place of business of the people, by the people, for the people of Pacific heritage.

LAURA KEIL-HALL
From the small island of Samoa in the Pacific, Laura has a genuine interest and passion for sharing knowledge and helping others to develop and grow.
She has shown this through her work in the Pacific community and through the initiatives she has developed throughout her working career which spans 10 plus years. One of those initiatives, was setting up the Samoa Business Network 6 years ago which is an organisation she runs on a voluntary basis which forms the basis of many of the work she is currently undertaking. With her 10 plus years experience in the retail finance & banking industry in New Zealand coupled with her experience with dealing with different types of businesses, she knows the challenges business owners face hence the development of "The Pacific Business Hub". She has strong interpersonal, influencing and relationship building skills and she has in the span of her career built many networks to include many influential people in the local and Pacific community, in government both in New Zealand and Samoa, church organisations and the New Zealand and Pacific business and community. She has vast experience, knowledge and understanding of how to deal with people of different walks of life through her career but also through her travels abroad and will have no problem adapting her approach to reflect her audience. Laura overlooks the overall operations of the Pacific Business Hub and is solely responsible for achieving the vision and mission of the business. She also drives the strategic plans and goals, source and create opportunities, develop and maintain stakeholder engagement and relations. |
WALTER HALL
Also from Samoa, Walter holds a Bachelor of Commerce and has 10 plus years of management and experience in the finance industry.
He shares the same sentiments as his wife in seeing Pacific peoples succeed in life. He has helped many Pacific families achieve their goals through his current employment. Walter continues to work full time and assists The Pacific Business Hub as the Financial Manager.
