Her work is grounded\, relatable\, and focused on real solutions that business owners can use straight away.\n\n\n\nShe's known for her down-to-earth approach\, clear communication\, and ability to turn complex cash flow challenges into confident action\, always with a touch of humour and heart.\n\n\n\n\n\nHave any burning questions? Please email your questions prior to the event to events@waikatochamber.co.nz. Mel will ensure these are covered in her presentation.\n\n\n\n\nFor enquiries or to cancel your registration email events@waikatochamber.co.nz. \n\n\n\nView our terms and conditions here.
