Last week, Shaw and Partners New Zealand hosted an exclusive evening of client appreciation in Wellington, welcoming more than 150 valued guests.

The event also marked an important milestone following Shaw and Partners Financial Services' recent acquisition of Makowem & Isaacs Financial Planning, offering an opportunity to reflect on this significant development and the opportunities ahead.

A highlight of the evening was an insightful conversation with Nadia Lim, who shared her experiences in entrepreneurship and the journey of building an enduring brand.

The event also provided an opportunity to support the local community, with a $5,400 donation made to the Upper Hutt Housing Charitable Trust.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special occasion. We look forward to welcoming you to future Shaw and Partners New Zealand events.
