The regions that make up the Lower North Island are beautiful and varied. From Gisborne, the first city in the world to see the sun rise each day, down to the idyllic bays and wineries of Marlborough, this region has many highlights. The gorgeous landscapes of the Hawkes Bay, the rugged coastline of Taranaki and its famous Mt Taranaki, the rolling hills of the Wairarapa, the endless coastline of the Manawatu-Wanganui regions, the sunny beaches and stunning orchards of Nelson, and the dramatic coastlines and ancient native bush of Wellington all present many delights to the senses. But we don’t need to tell you this as you have already made the decision to live and work here.

Nonsuch has been providing consulting, resources, and solutions for our clients in these regions since 2013 (and earlier in previous guises) and some of our staff and consultants call this part of New Zealand their home. Nonsuch is proud to be headquartered in this region.

Our clients are engaged in horticultural, professional services, forestry, tourism, central, local and regional government, construction, health and health sciences, scientific research, and many other industries and we are grateful for the opportunities we get to help you grow and mature your businesses.

So, if you are looking for assistance with your projects, programmes, or portfolio of investments in change; whether you need help with benefits management, change management, writing that tricky business case; whether it’s seeing your projects using project toolsets, seeking independent assurance, discovering new ways of working, or training, please contact anyone of our local consultants.

These regions have shown impressive growth and economic development and Nonsuch is committed to continuing to provide the support to help you and your businesses to thrive and provide a strong future for you and the generations to come.
