Electra Business Breakfast Contractor Change

Electra Business Breakfast Contractor Change

Electra http://electra.co.nz/ is delighted to announce that from 1 April 2016 Kapiti Business Projects will take the helm to deliver the Electra Business Breakfast (EBB) in Kapiti on behalf of Electra. “Owner of Kapiti Business Projects, Helene Judge is well known to many local business and community leaders, so having her on our team can only but strengthen the delivery of business breakfasts in Kapiti,” says Neil Simmonds, Electra CEO.

Neil goes on to say that “Electra pays tribute to the Kapiti Company who has admirably run the EBB in Kapiti on behalf of Electra for the last four years. Kellie Brown of the Kapiti Company agrees that “EBB is an important and valuable local business networking opportunity that is a ‘must attend’ event to keep up to date with local news, views and learning. The speaking programme has always focused on matters of local and regional importance that relates to local economic development, business and professional development.”

When the Kapiti Company signaled it would not be renewing its contract with Electra, a decision was made to work with Kapiti Business Projects. Kapiti Business Projects will be continuing the good work of the Kapiti Company with some enhancements to give EBB a web presence and all bookings being handled online using the cloud based system, Eventbrite. “I am super excited that my business was chosen by Electra to be part of an established business networking programme in Kapiti. I am looking forward to delivering interesting and relevant speakers so the Kapiti community can be informed and take on-board the learnings shared.”
