Introducing Sindai Haumaha, Associate Director and Accountant

The team from Cleland Hancox Ltd Administration Services

Sindai has been with us for 10 years, and loves the diversity of work and the types of clients she deals with. She likes that the team here are driven to provide a quality to service to every client. She says "everyone cares about the people we deal with. They aren't just numbers, their businesses are not just balance sheets & P&Ls. They are livelihoods and people's lives."

In her spare time, Sindai loves playing netball and squash, being an avid supporter of Marist Netball Hamilton, the

Average league and a committee member. She is also on the committee for a family netball club,Te Tuma Titans. But her ideal holiday is somewhere warm with beach, sun, mojitos and lots of music! She'd love to travel to Europe, particularly Italy, sometime soon.

As the older of several siblings, Sindai's life advice to them is "You are the sum of the 5 of your closest friends - if you look around and they seem to be doing stupid stuff, chances are - you are too." Great advice for all of us, Sindai!

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.

But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.

Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
