“Baker Tilly Staples Rodway has partnered with the Govett Brewster Foundation to support the Gallery’s Young Visionaries programme. The programme offers a fantastic opportunity for our tamariki to develop their creativity; and we believe it encourages a lifelong love of creative thought and application of skills, and it also builds capabilities and confidences. 

In business as in life, these are critical skills; and in our industry, we’re always looking for clever solutions – so we’re all about championing those critical skills where we can. Our mission is to create enduring success for all in our community and by supporting the Govett Brewster Foundation and the programme, we are helping to foster a new generation of creative thinkers who will be able to make a positive impact on our world, whatever career path they choose to follow.”
