Trustee And Exec Assistant To FounderThe Public Water Foundation Jan 2019 - PresentMy 11 year old daughter, Lilah, has a vision to see more public water fountains and taps available in Auckland to improve the health of our community and to reduce the impact of plastic on our environment. She launched The Public Water Project in 2019, with a goal to install 100 additional water fountains/taps in Auckland in our first year. Given Covid19, we have had to pivot from our original sponsorship program which sought community focused corporates to invest in the health of our city. Instead, Lilah launched a social enterprise, Water Us Limited, which will offer household products on a subscription basis, with the majority of the profits (less working capital requirements) going to The Public Water Foundation to purchase and gift water fountains to our communities. The Foundation has charitable trust status.

During my ownership of this business, I completely overhauled all Wild Appetite marketing material, from trade to consumer collateral, including redeveloping the website to highlight the premium nature of the product and driving product use through a comprehensive recipe database.
