more about us
Who is Manaaki?
Manaaki Facility Services was created to build a 100% New Zealand–owned, Māori-led cleaning and facilities company grounded in manaakitanga — the act of caring for people and places. Drawing on years of industry experience in both commercial and specialist environments, Manaaki combines technical excellence, cultural integrity, and social purpose to deliver high-quality, sustainable cleaning solutions.
Our mission is to provide dependable service that strengthens workplaces and communities while creating liveable and meaningful, long-term employment pathways for Māori and Pasifika. Through this approach, we help clients achieve their social procurement, sustainability, and community engagement goals — delivering outcomes that go beyond cleaning to create lasting positive impact across Aotearoa.

As a proud descendant of Ngāti Kahungunu, I am guided by the strength of my heritage, the wisdom passed down through generations, and a deep sense of responsibility to uphold the values that have shaped my life and leadership. I am the founding partner and CEO of Manaaki Facility Services — a Māori-owned commercial cleaning company built on the principles of care, connection, and environmental responsibility. These values are not just part of our name, but at the heart of everything we do.
With over 16 years of leadership experience in the commercial cleaning and facilities management sector, I have led teams across some of Aotearoa and Australia’s most complex and regulated environments. From high-compliance healthcare and critical infrastructure sites to large-scale commercial portfolios, I have developed and delivered tailored cleaning solutions underpinned by a deep understanding of quality assurance, health and safety and environmental sustainability.
our team
Our employees are part of the family
Our People – Our Whānau
Our team is more than a workforce — we are whānau. At Manaaki Facility Services, we live by the values of manaakitanga (care and respect), kotahitanga (unity and working as one), and whakawhanaungatanga (building strong relationships). These values guide how we care for our people, our clients, and the communities we serve.
We believe in growing our people from within. Our staff are trained locally, gaining the skills and confidence needed to deliver exceptional cleaning standards while reflecting the values of their communities. Each team member is supported by a strong, experienced management team who provide hands-on guidance, mentoring, and ongoing development opportunities.
By empowering our people through training, trust, and teamwork, we build a culture where everyone feels valued and connected — a true whānau that takes pride in caring for people, places, and the future of Aotearoa.
Manaakitanga in Action
At Manaaki Facility Services, we follow Te Ara Tika — the right path — to deliver quality results for every client.
Working with a cleaning provider shouldn’t feel uncertain — you deserve confidence that the team who arrives on site knows exactly what they’re doing.
At Manaaki Facility Services, we approach every job with manaakitanga (care and respect) and tika (doing things the right way). We take the time to understand your environment, your expectations, and your priorities before we begin.
Once we understand your needs, we develop a tailored training and quality plan so our team can deliver consistently high results. All new team members complete a thorough Health and Safety induction, receive a detailed procedures manual, and are trained on the specific standards of your site.
Our management team takes a kanohi ki te kanohi (face-to-face) approach, providing on-site support, ongoing coaching, and quality assurance checks. This ensures we maintain excellence and uphold the trust you place in us every day.
