Business North July 2025

| 75 JOINERY PB Kitchens PB Kitchens partners with an Auckland manufacturer, meaning it can offer hundreds of unit configurations, almost any colour board, and product sized to the millimetre. In commercial supply, “easy to work with” is a phrase that gets thrown around a lot. But every so often, you meet a business that genuinely lives up to it. For us at Harvey Norman Commercial, PB Kitchens has been a timely reminder of what a great trade partnership looks like: mutual respect, clear communication and informed decisions — and a shared commitment to getting it right the first time. PB Kitchens, led by Rotorua-based designer and project manager Jared Pemberton, has quickly become a valued partner since joining our network in September 2024. From the start, it was clear we spoke the same language: prioritising client needs, embracing flexibility, and delivering with integrity. At Harvey Norman Commercial, we work with trade partners across the country. The ones who stand out aren’t necessarily the biggest — they’re the ones who bring clarity, collaboration, and consistency. Jared does exactly that. It’s never just “what’s in stock” — it’s “what fits the space, the budget, and the brief.” And we back him 100%. Jared’s focus is always on value — a blend of durability, service, and long-term fit. That’s a mindset we align with completely. That kind of clarity makes our job easier — and more rewarding. When a partner knows what they’re doing and trusts you to do the same, it’s not just a transaction. It’s teamwork. At HNC, we're proud to support designers like PB Kitchens - not just with product, but with perspective. Our commercial showrooms give clients the chance to see and feel products before they commit, helping them to make confident choices. Collaborating with forward-thinking partners challenges us to keep evolving. As kitchen projects become more holistic - often flowing into open-plan living - we've expanded our offering to include furniture and interior solutions. It's all about supporting the full picture, not just the appliance line-up. And when the need arises, we're ready - with the flexibility, product range, and mindset to meet it. We’re proud to back PB Kitchens as they scale their thoughtful, design-led approach from Rotorua across Waikato and beyond. It’s exactly the kind of business we enjoy supporting — and the kind we believe New Zealand needs more of. When good design meets solid supply, and trust sits at the centre, everybody wins.
