We are very excited about our future.” Looking to its exciting future, Duncan re lects onHBT’s past and its earlybeginnings. Originally branded as Hawke’s Bay Document Technology, the business was established in July 2007 as the exclusive dealer for Ricoh Multifunctional copiers and printers. “In a highly competitive industry our goal was to be di erent, and the best service provider in Hawke’s Bay and grow to be market leader within ten years. As technology continued to in iltrate howwe operate at home and at work, it became apparent in 2012/13 that print was becoming a less practical way of communicating, and print revenues and margin would eventually begin to drop. Recognising that risk we adapted and diversi ied our service o erings to include Managed IT Services, Business Communications and Business Process Automation Consultancy, and rebranded to Hawke’s Bay Technologies.” Today HBT is a B2B operation looking after the needs of corporate, commercial, government and educational entities, and includes Hawke’s Bay Airport. HBT is a strong and growing presence in the Managed IT Services market in Hawke’s Bay and now Queenstown, Otago, and is excited about this dynamic and increasingly important part of its business. HBT is passionate about o ering its extensive technology services to businesses who are after a true technology partner, with a positive di erence.
