Our Tamariki face many obstacles in this ever-changing world … so we are asking ‘bosses’ across New Zealand to accept their own challenge, step outside their comfort zone and take part in Drop Your Boss 2019!

Drop Your Boss is an annual fundraiser for the Graeme Dingle Foundation where we ask our Corporate Partners and Business Leaders to nominate their Boss to step off Auckland’s iconic building – The Sky Tower. All we ask is that your team fundraise through our Givealittle page and raise as much as possible to see your Boss dropped! All funds raised will support the work the Graeme Dingle Foundation does with young people across Aotearoa.

We invite staff, family and friends to come along and witness their Boss literally ‘go over the edge’ – all in the community spirit of the Graeme Dingle Foundation.

Sign up for Drop Your Boss and Walk The Talk with us!

Hi Neighbours,

Leo O'Malley The Menswear Store closed its doors after 84 years.

The menswear shop has been providing Auckland's conservatively dressed older gentlemen with shirts, socks, undies and suits since 1935.

Vaughn Davis says that's something to celebrate - not because it closed, but because it stayed open for so long.

"When a friend retires after a long and successful career, we don't ask why – we celebrate and thank them for putting in the hard yards."
