A good broker is the best insurance you can have.

For more than 25 years, Mutual Financial Support Services has helped individuals, families and business owners protect what matters and make confident financial decisions. With more than 15,000 clients across New Zealand, the business has built its reputation on professional advice, personal relationships and a commitment to doing what is right for its clients.

Led by Eduard du Toit, a New Zealand-based Financial Adviser, Mutual Financial Support Services provides guidance across insurance, financial planning and mortgage broking. Eduard works with clients to bring structure and certainty to financial decisions, particularly when circumstances are complex or changing.

Known for his disciplined and structured approach, Eduard simplifies complex financial decisions into clear, practical strategies. Each recommendation is carefully considered against the client’s goals, affordability and long-term resilience, helping ensure that financial decisions are not only appropriate today, but continue to provide protection well into the future.

“We are very selective with our clients and much of our business comes through referrals from existing clients. I believe in meeting people face-to-face, building genuine relationships and taking the time to understand what matters to them.”

Eduard du Toit – Financial Adviser & Owner 

That relationship-first philosophy is central to Mutual Financial Support Services. While the business has the scale and experience of an established nationwide financial services network, its approach remains deliberately personal, bringing an old-school, one-to-one style of service where clients have direct contact and know the people supporting their financial journey.

Behind Eduard is a small, professional support team, a boutique, family-driven team working to provide a highly personalised and responsive client experience. Together, they ensure clients receive not only sound financial advice, but ongoing support when they need it most.

The business is also part of the SHARE group, providing the wider structure, resources and professional framework of an established financial services organisation while retaining its personalised approach to client relationships.

Whether it is protecting a family’s future, reviewing insurance, structuring finances, or helping a business owner make informed decisions about their assets, Mutual Financial Support Services is focused on one goal: making financial decisions easier, clearer and more certain.

National Hood & Duct Cleaning Limited is committed to keeping commercial kitchens clean, safe and compliant.

With a strong focus on quality, consistency, reliability and safety, National Hood & Duct Cleaning provides comprehensive commercial kitchen grease extraction cleaning, servicing everything from the hood through the ductwork and all the way to the extraction fan.

The team understands that every commercial kitchen is different. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, cleaning programmes are tailored to suit each business, its kitchen operations and individual requirements. Whether it is a full system clean or ongoing maintenance cleaning between scheduled deep cleans, the focus remains on achieving a thorough, high-quality result without cutting corners.

What sets National Hood & Duct Cleaning apart is its commitment to cleaning 100% of the system. Every part of the extraction system is carefully addressed, helping businesses maintain cleaner, safer and more compliant commercial kitchen environments.

Responsiveness is another key part of the service. Quotes are typically provided within 24 hours, with jobs generally completed and compliance signed off within seven days. Where possible, cleaning is carried out outside of normal business hours, helping minimise disruption to busy commercial kitchens and allowing businesses to continue operating with minimal interruption.

“It’s not a one-size-fits-all service. Every business is different, so the cleaning programme is tailored to what each kitchen actually needs, without cutting corners. We provide a service built around each customer”

National Hood & Duct Cleaning is IQP registered and follows international industry best-practice standards, with the training, expertise and equipment required to deliver professional commercial kitchen extraction cleaning.

The Company has particular expertise in BWOF compliance and IQP requirements, supporting commercial kitchens with the regular inspection, cleaning and maintenance needed to help keep their extraction systems compliant.

Regular professional cleaning is important for removing grease and carbon build-up throughout the extraction system. If grease is allowed to accumulate, it can create a significant fire risk, making thorough and consistent cleaning an important part of maintaining a safe commercial kitchen.

Experts in Compliance, Grease Removal & Fire Risk Reduction. 

From the initial quote through to the completed job and compliance reporting, customers can expect a service built around being available, reliable, compliant and quality-focused.

National Hood & Duct Cleaning takes the time to understand each client’s needs and provides a service tailored to their business. The goal is simple: to deliver thorough cleaning, dependable service and efficient compliance support, while building long-term relationships with commercial kitchen operators nationwide.

With a nationwide team and a clear commitment to quality and customer service, National Hood & Duct Cleaning Limited is working towards its goal of becoming New Zealand’s leading commercial kitchen grease extraction cleaning company.

In 2014 Emma said enough. Fed up with single-use paper towels, tissues and bags clogging up landfills she got to work finding solutions for her family life.  The business started by selling reusable produce bags at the local Saturday market. They repeatedly sold out, so she grew the range to include other sustainable products she wanted but couldn’t find. Sustainable living shouldn’t look boring. Emma fixed that with compostable, plant based, hard-working and seriously good-looking products.

Every Dishcloth, Handkerchiefs, Towels, Bags & Greeting Cards in the range is something Emma’s family uses everyday, chosen because they work, hard enough for real family life, lovely enough to give as gifts. These are the reusable heroes you have been looking for and they help make the switch to sustainable living super easy.

 

“The rules were simple: we had to want to use the products ourselves, and they had to handle our months of testing and trials.”

Emma – Owner 

Reduce, reuse, recycle has always been The Green Collectives mantra but they’ve add re-purpose, re-fresh and re-create to the list. The Green Collective is always looking at everyday habits and asking: could this be better? That curiosity has led to some unexpected places. They have become a bit of a matchmaker for waste, connecting materials that would otherwise be thrown out with organisations who can give them a new life. Recent examples: retired kite surfing kites repurposed into post-surgical drainage bag covers for Cancer Society volunteers. And their limited banner bags made from expired advertising and event banners with expired child car seat straps.

We all love our pets. And you know what they love? The taste of real, wild meat. Truth is, they were once wild themselves, so it’s no wonder they still hanker for a taste of the hunt. The Naked Possum makes pet treats the way they should be – with pure wild possum, and nothing else.

With meat this good, there’s no need to dress it up in dodgy additives. A near-perfect protein, possum is hypoallergenic, high in omega 3 and 6, and packed with essential nutrients. Used as a training treat or a sneaky snack, they’ll drive even the pickiest pets wild.

“Ethically caught and carefully crafted, every piece is made to ignite the senses with drool-worthy smell, texture and taste.”

James Laurie – Owner

The Naked Possum is passionate about keeping our country pest free. Possums impact our natural habitats and put our native species under threat. Controlled and ethical possum hunting helps keep nature’s balance in check, without the need for pesticides. All treats are made in Whangārei through a small, hands on process not large mass production machines to ensure every product meets the high standard The Naked Possum stands for.
