I’ve lived in Titirangi for over 25 years, raising my family here. I’m a successful marketing professional and business leader. Growing up with parents who ran a pub, I understand the value of vibrant local nightlife. Titirangi and Green Bay deserve more choice for dining, drinking and entertainment, but the Trusts monopoly holds us back. I stand with the Trusts Action Group and was elected in the last two elections to drive change at Portage Licensing Trust. Progress could be faster, but we’ve had wins like changing to national retail off licence brands, reducing costs, the Beerspot opens soon in New Lynn, we’re developing a hospitality strategy focused on innovation, and Iti in Titirangi has improved. But only a free market delivers real choice. If elected, I’ll support a referendum on the Trusts monopoly. I’d love your vote to help bring more positive change to our beautiful community.
