In practice this means decisions are made quickly, that people have the right level of autonomy to do what needs to be done and to ensure communication flows well. “We don’t want to get too corporate. That flat leadership structure means that we operate as a small business in terms of our mentality so that no one feels awkward about speaking to any layer of management in the business,” says Greg. “Everybody is treated well; basically it comes down to respect so no one sees themselves more special than anyone else. I think that’s what helps the culture side of it. “People are key to our culture. They do what’s required to make it all happen. Without them, it doesn’t matter how smart our strategy is or what ideas we have. Our people make it happen and deliver it for us.” In addition to its turnover milestone, Tuapeka’s new 8000 square metre warehousing facility in Fairfield was opened recently and the company also celebrated its 35th anniversary with a function in the Dunedin Town Hall in March.
