Thanks for spending the week with our KBS whānau. All the best for what’s ahead! 🌱

The secret’s out 👀

We’re excited to officially welcome Hinerangi to the KBS team as our newest Relationship Manager.

With her extensive experience in touch football and the standard she has set throughout her own sporting career, Hinerangi brings a level of knowledge, understanding and firsthand experience that we know will be incredibly valuable to both KBS and the teams, clubs and athletes we work alongside.

For us, this is more than just adding another person to the team. It’s about bringing in people who understand sport, understand our community and know what athletes need from the brands supporting them.

We’re incredibly excited to have Hinerangi on board and believe her experience will help elevate KBS as we continue to grow.

Welcome to the KBS whānau Hinerangi Andreassend 🤝

Coming back from our New Zealand office has given us a moment to stop and appreciate just how far this little idea has come.

What started in a bedroom has grown into two offices, factories, countless partnerships and a team of people who continue to believe in what we’re building.

It’s easy to get caught up in what’s next. The next order, the next partnership, the next goal. But every now and then, you have to look back and realise just how much has already been built.

None of it happens without the people who have been part of the journey. The ones who believed early, put in the work, backed the vision and helped turn an idea into something real.

Genuinely grateful for every person who has played a part in getting us here.

And this is only the beginning ❤️

A reminder that class is permanent. 🔥

Current Touch Black Pokaiaua Isaiah Kurukaanga goes high when most go low, continuing on the run of form he’s had in the last 12 months. Looking forward to seeing more highlights from him at this years event.

Moments like this showcase what Pacific Cup is all about.
