What is my role in Better?

“I’m the CEO at Better. What is my role about? I would say, that’s almost like being a father. Our company is like a family, and my role here is to make sure that the family is strong and shares the same values. Every family needs love and attention. But to grow stronger, this family also needs a direction. And someone who takes care. And that’s what I love the most, to take care and see how my family grows and help other to grow.”

Things we love

Doing our bit to make things better
We have to say – there are so many great initiatives to get behind, it’s almost impossible to choose. But when it came down to it, the betterTM team just had to get involved with Legasea. Here’s why…
Legasea (2)

Sustainable seas for a better future

Surrounded by water, as Kiwis the sea holds a special place in our hearts. Just breathing in that salty sea air has a magical effect - calming, energising, rejuvenating. But our friend, the deep blue, has long been in trouble, which is where our friends at Legasea come in....

LegaSea is a non-profit organisation dedicated to restoring the abundance, biodiversity and health of New Zealand’s marine environment. Specifically, this passionate group of people are committed to minimising the environmental impact of fishing, and building public support for fisheries management reforms.

In 2020, the better team got on board and became a Gold Partner to this crucial cause. Like to check it out? Click here for more.
