Kia ora! Welcome to the Flying the Fern podcast. This podcast tells the stories of well-known New Zealand businesses delivering products and services that are made, grown or designed in New Zealand. Businesses that are carrying the official New Zealand FernMark, sharing their authenticity at home and abroad, and building New Zealand’s global reputation as a trusted origin of innovative, high-quality products and services.    We dig into how these New Zealand business pioneers turned their ideas into reality - with determination, creativity, and perseverance. No sugar coating - just the facts. Where they came from, the battles they’ve fought and the scars they’ve collected along the way. Find out where they are going to next and how they are sharing our core New Zealand values with the world.    If you are interested in the programme – find out more on our website: www.fernmark.nzstory.govt.nz
