WALT DICKSON

A newly-developed commercial space in Greytown, The Hub, has seen 11 businesses set up shop creating approximately new 40 jobs in the region. The latest business to move into the Main Street facility is Merino Kids. The iconic New Zea- land brand and sleepwear solutions company has relocated the distribution element of the company from Auckland to Greytown. Steve Pilbrow, Director of Westwood Commercial Ltd which developed The Hub, said he is extremely pleased to have been able to negotiate the relocation of the Merino Kids facility to South Wairarapa.

The club’s biennial exhibition opens at Aratoi this weekend, and Kempton says she got a creative and professional boost from being part of a group of fellow photography enthusiasts. ‘‘I was one of the few young women members at the time but now there is a much more diverse group of people,’’ she says. She joined the club because she was keen to reconnect with her hobby after starting a family. Two years later, she is running her own business Images for Art, creating fine art images and cards that she sells throughout Wairarapa.

He laments New Zealand let- ting its status as a frontrunner in organics slide. ‘‘At one time we were one of the top certified organic nations in the world.
