Nick is joined on the Business Panel this week by General Manager of Wellington on a Plate (WOAP) and Beervana, Penny de Borst and Gollins Commercial property broker, Chris Gollins. 

Our guests discuss doing business in Wellington City and how it's changing this year.

In time of turmoil for the city - we hear about the success of de Borst and Gollins' businesses, the hardships and the plans ahead.

How has WOAP shaped our city's hospo space and how are Gollins finding their buyers are responding to the economic environment in Wellington?

How are the industries coping with price increases - fuel, food, compliance, living costs - what's the year ahead looking like with these rises? 

Then how can we support local businesses? The panel talks the council, the mayor and the library opening. What does it mean to be a part of Wellington?

And the city is predicting an increase of fewer than 800 people over the next five year - how do we bring back and keep people in the city?
