While waiting to tee off at Hastings Golf Club, Laser Electrical Napier owner Paul Manaena said joining business incubator The Icehouse's course for owner operators is "easily the best thing" he has done for his business.
I have turned it right around.
My profits have gone right up because I am doing things more efficiently and working on the business more. The other thing is my own personal self. I used to work 60 to 70 hours a week but now I probably wouldn't even do 45 hours - I get time to have a bit more balance in my life," he said.
Regional economic development agency Business Hawke's Bay persuaded The Icehouse to move its first office outside Auckland in 2012, making its programmes, resources, funding and networks available to Hawke's Bay businesses.
