Local accounting firm turns 100
Kia ora neighbours,
Campbell Tyson chartered accounting firm has turned 100 years old. It was first established as E D Wilkinson in 1922 in the Legal Chambers building in lower King Street, and in the last century has survived mergers, changes and more to become the largest firm in the district today.
To celebrate the milestone, CT management gave their nearly 70 staff $100 to spend on themselves from the local cafes and retailers in Pukekohe, near their new building on Wesley Street.
Director Kirsty Bullen, who joined the firm in 2012, said she believes CT has survived so long because the local community supports it so much.
"We’re very conscious of that and we give back as much as we can. And on top of that, it’s about the people. There has always been a sense of guardianship, and that you need to leave Campbell Tyson in a better place than what you find it in,” she said.
To last the next 100 years, CT will be evolving and changing, in particular to face the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic that confront both the firm and its clients, Bullen said.
“The communities we serve are quite special. We’re really lucky that we’re provincial. It’s a different type of accounting to the big city, you really have to understand what goes on here and you have to be involved,” Bullen said.
That’s why we’re so focused on giving back to the community.”

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
