Playing an active role in the community and the economic development of our city has always been part of who we are.
At the heart of Sharp Tudhope are our people. For us, doing business is about respecting our environment, nurturing communities, and embracing innovation for our region to flourish.
This community means everything to us which is why our team members choose to be involved with key industry leaders and charities in Tauranga and the wider Bay of Plenty.
We are active in our support of local charities making a real difference in our region such as Waipuna Hospice, The Graeme Dingle Foundation, Tauranga District Riding for the Disabled and the STEMwana Trust.
During 2021 we celebrated 125 years in business and to acknowledge our birthday we chose to pay it forward and donated lump sums to two local charities doing good things in Tauranga. The charities we chose were the StemWana Trust and The Homes of Hope (chosen by votes from our team).
Supporting future leaders has always been front of mind and in 2022 we launched an annual Graduate Scholarship available to students in the Western Bay of Plenty region keen to explore a career in law. The scholarship provides both financial assistance and mentoring. The successful applicant receives a $10,000 contribution towards their University fees along with a high level of mentoring. They are also matched with a mentor from Sharp Tudhope who is available to support them during their studies.
We are passionate about Tauranga and its future and wherever possible take a sustainable approach to the way we work. We are continuously looking at ways to reduce our carbon footprint and proud to be the first green star rated building in Tauranga.
