Tihei mauriora,
E mihi ana, e tangi ana ki o tatou mate, haere, haere, moe marie mai koutou katoa.
Ko tatou enei ko nga urupa o ratou ma,
e mihi maioha atu nei.
Tena koutou, tena koutou, kia ora huihui mai tatou katoa.
Ka huri.
(A solemn salute to all our ancestors, may you all rest in peace. To all of us, their descendants, a warm and very sincere greeting. Greetings, greetings, and well met to us all.)
Firstly, it is with much pleasure for me, as your Chairperson, to update this preamble to our website. I acknowledge the hard work that all of my predecessors have put into Maori Investments Limited so that we can all proudly claim our heritage, our taonga tuku iho.
Secondly, may I firmly record your Board of Directors view that our task is to do our very best to ensure that Maori Investments Limited is managed impeccably well and in a fair and unbiased manner. As our elders said "He tangata iti, e tipu ana, he toki iti, e iti tonu iho". A small child will grow, a small adze will always be small".
Thirdly, may I thank you all, our shareholders, for your time spent in reading this website. It is our intention to report regularly to you all, via this website and other means, so that you are all properly and fully briefed as to what is going on.
Na reira, kia ora tatou katoa.
For, and on behalf of your Board of Directors,
Waaka Vercoe
Chairperson
