Give us a call

Our growing team is based in central Wellington. Employing locally and upskilling young people has always been core to our brand and values. Providing opportunity, learning and development is a huge part of who we are.

We love coffee, cake and a robust discussion (debate..) about pop-culture, current events and cool stuff.

Our mission? To go above and beyond for you and your business.

Iona started her own business consultancy with 20+ years of experience in growing businesses.

Hurrah - Ben joined!

An office came up on my FB feed, the boys said yes, and we got all grown up and moved into our first office. It felt way cooler than it actually was!

There aren’t enough words in the English language to describe the outstanding interaction we experienced with Grow My Business.

Our existing website was 7 years old and in desperate need of being replaced. A mutual connection recommended Grow My Business, so we researched websites they’d created for other businesses, and came away impressed and wanting to know more.

After a bad experience with a previous developer who took our money and ran, we were nervous, but after meeting with Iona we realised we were in the safest and most professional hands possible. We gave GMB the go-ahead to create a new website for us without any strings attached, and what a fantastic website it is!

Iona and Daniella and team were outstanding to work with each step of the way – they quickly understood the essence of who we were and what we offered, and transferred this to a website that is professional, up-to-date and elegant. The whole process was an exceptional experience, and we can’t recommend Grow My Business highly enough!

I would like to thank Iona and her team at Grow My Business for working with me to create an awesome new website to promote and grow our luxury resort in Fiji. The team listened to my needs and addressed any concerns I had. They removed the stress from me and gave me great advice and suggestions on how to improve our customer engagement. I would recommend their services to anyone needing help to improve their website and their business. Regards Colleen
