Business Lessons with Matt Stark… Hamilton Property Mogul’s Big Plans for the Tron
Description
Welcome to the first new episode of Business in Between... it's our new series, on our new podcast channel, that features long-form chats with NZ's most interesting business minds.
This week we're getting business lessons from Matt Stark.
For those outside of Hamilton, Matt could be described as a super successful business buyer, builder, investor and leader.
For those inside of Hamilton - Matt Stark is the guy transforming the city. With his team at Stark property he's built, innovated and designed many of Kirkiroa's most impressive developments.
He's responsible for the Riverbank Lane Project and the Tristram Precint, Panama House, The HIlls Development, South Block.
And he’s also our landlord for our own office at MADE in Hamilton East!
In the words of Mike Neale, Harcourts Hamilton's managing director 'his impact is everywhere you look'.
In this episode we learn why he left school at 16 to pursue a building apprenticeship, how he lost it all in the GFC, his lawn mowing business, the role his wife Jamie has played in it all, personal values, $100 million dollar deals, lifting Hamilton's gaze, and why transforming the city is important to him.
Matt is a private guy, and this is the first time he's shared his story in detail - and his first podcast. And we love it - Matt is such a humble, thoughtful, likeable guy - and we learned a lot in this one.
