HIGHLIGHTS

Hastings HIVE opened for business in January 2020 and in just 18 months, we are 60% occupied having completed the fit-out of our Stage 2 to cope with demand for serviced offices, which is very satisfying.

At the same time we opened our first (of two planned) dedicated video-conference suite with the latest Logitech “plug-and-play” video-conference equipment, for all those Zoom and Teams meetings.

And we have launched our new premium coworking desks with electrically operated desktops for sit/stand work options, extra space and more privacy.

WHAT EXCITES YOUR TEAM ABOUT THE WORK YOU DO?

Most startup businesses fail within their first five years and a major cause is high fixed costs coupled with lumpy cashflows. This leads to many small or startup businesses working from home or from cafes, but then finding it hard to attract and retain great staff at this most critical time.

So at Hastings HIVE we have set out to provide small organisations with beautifully designed, A grade offices and corporate level services equal to any in the world, with the lowest inclusively priced dedicated desks, anywhere in New Zealand.

Through this strong sense of purpose and our shared values, we are creating a vibrant, friendly and supportive coworking environment, making a real difference for the Hawke’s Bay.

WHAT MESSAGE WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHARE WITH THE NZ ENTREPRENEUR COMMUNITY?

There are innovative startup businesses around NZ with products and services better than the market. And there are startup businesses around NZ with lower prices than the market.

Our secret for creating a lasting competitive advantage was to launch both; a market leading product and service, at a previously unmatched price point. So creating a unique value proposition.
