Mā mua ka kite a muri,
mā muri ka ora a mua

“Those who lead give sight to those who follow, those who follow give life to those who lead.”

Tui Ora remains guided by the vision and aspirations of the eight iwi of Taranaki who founded us: Ngāti Tama, Ngāti Mutunga, Te Atiawa, Ngāti Maru, Taranaki, Ngā Ruahine, Ngāti Ruanui and Ngā Rauru. Our executive leadership team reports to an overseeing board of directors who are answerable to our owner Te Tuituia Trust.
