Our Hone Tutua is one of the original team members of KingSt – only Judy Coulter has been here longer. He even pre-dates Chris!
Hone and Judy were part of the team when Chris bought Russ Rimmington’s shares in 1999.
From an early age, Hone says he was taken with art and design. When his high school ran a design class, he thought it would be an interesting option to take in his final year and found it was something he really enjoyed.

Last week we had our team Christmas party. It was great to celebrate getting to the end of a really interesting and challenging year. To keep the team spirit alive and well we put together a progressive dinner. A bus, four venues, a few chilly bins and some innovative catering saw us all have an excellent night. Thanks to Robyn, Suzy, Chris and Kwan for opening up your homes. The format went down so well we’re now planning to use it again next year in Raglan when four of the team will have homes available!
