Shared Vision. Shared Value. Collective Impact
Announcing a very special event series, from Ngā Toi Creative Hawkes Bay, the Create Collaboration Series, that focuses on the importance of Collaboration for our regions cultural, social and economic success. With constant economic challenges, never has collaboration been more important. We welcome our keynote speaker David Trubridge to discuss his ethos of regenerative design and collaborative projects with Tom O’Sullivan from Floc, designers of interior acoustic panels made with 100% New Zealand strong wool.

David’s keynote promises to inspire anyone passionate about creating meaningful change through design and collaboration.
Tom O’Sullivan has a strong connection to New Zealand agriculture, particularly meat and fibre. Raised on a sheep and beef farm in Mid Canterbury, Tom has a 30-year career in agri-business management, manufacturing and marketing in New Zealand. Tom joined the T&R business in early 2024 as Business Development Manager for the innovative new wool acoustic panels ‘FLOC’.
