CREATIVE JUNCTION
PAGE 1
Welcome.
There’s something really special about seeing
people shine when everything seems to be against
them. Food, events and hospitality is one of those
industries where you’ve got to work so hard for
what you want.
This issue highlights just how hard those business
owners work.
Our cover story is a prime example, a team of
Northland businesses who were fed up with seeing
industry professionals go to Auckland for their
‘out-of-the-box’ photoshoots. They created a
shoot themselves to showcase what Northlanders
are capable of. They nailed it!
Then there’s Matakana Moonshine, the company’s
co-creator saw something in a family friend’s home
brew. They went from brewing in the bush to an
internationally recognised, award-winning brand.
Or the latest café in Kamo. Carl Worthington was
about to go into social work when his friend Helen
approached him about starting a café. Fast forward
to August and Milk and Honey is about to open
their doors.
I guess it hits close to home because that’s what
I wanted for Creative Junction. We are that tiny
publication, a blip on the radar with big ambitions.
We want to give the little guy an opportunity to shine,
to help Northlanders get that step up- because that’s
the Northland that I want my kids to grow up in.
