The Hammond Davidson team went full Wild West! They rode up to Dunedin decked out in their best Western gear to crack a thrilling ‘whodunit’ at the historic Old Dunedin Library. After unmasking the culprit, the crew made their way to the legendary Speight’s Ale House for a behind-the-scenes tour, followed by a hearty dinner. Plenty of laughs were shared and some surprising detective skills came to light. Because the team that plays together… solves mysteries together!

As proud sponsors backing Balfour Rugby Club for the past five years, we love supporting local legends and this year’s a big one: 125 years of Balfour Rugby.

Over Matariki weekend, the town will come alive with epic yarns about ‘the best tries ever scored’ and some of the old guard will even be lacing up for a Golden Oldies exhibition match on Friday 20th June.

We’ll be there, boots and all, to celebrate with the club and the community. We’d love to see you there!

As accountants, we’re no strangers to pressure. With tight deadlines and high stakes, it’s a fast-paced role that can take a toll.

That’s why the Xero Assistance Program (XAP) has been such a valuable resource offering free, confidential mental health support to Xero partners and customers since 2019. The programme wraps up on 31 July 2025, so if you haven’t used it yet, now’s the time to take advantage while it’s still available. But the support doesn’t stop there.

Xero customers can still access discounted wellbeing services through TELUS Health, saving up to $7,000. For broader support and resources, we encourage connecting with the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand. At Hammond Davidson we’re committed to keeping the conversation going and supporting mental wellbeing in the accounting sector.

We’ve had an incredible afternoon at the Beef + Lamb New Zealand Southern South Island Ladies' Long Lunch today. A fantastic event dedicated to inspiring rural women and bringing together farming ladies from across the South Island.

Highlights include: Keynote speaker, Gemma McCaw’s powerful insights on building confidence to take on challenges in the great outdoors. And the Rural Women NZ panel with Gillian Swinton, Stevie Cockburn (Like Grandma Did)'s and Alesha Tomasi on the future of homesteading and how they’ve blended innovation and tradition.

Huge thanks to Beef + Lamb New Zealand for bringing us all together with of course great food, great wine and even better company.

We get it - finding balance between running a business, raising kids and keeping the farm moving is no small feat. That’s why it was such a pleasure to be at the recent Christchurch ANZCO Foods conference, where the theme ‘finding the balance’ really struck a chord.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It was even better to meet, in person, some of the amazing women who’ve been quietly inspiring our Hammond Davidson team for years. From Phillipa Cameron of What's For Smoko , whose family recipes are as ridiculously moreish (and yes, Kylie was lucky enough to win her raffle prize!), to Kate Ivey - Fitness, Health and Inspiration and fitness programmes that fit around real life and of course the ever-inspiringNadia Lim a true NZ icon who brings a whole lot of heart to everything she does.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If you’re also looking to add a little balance to your busy life, these ladies are a pretty great place to start.

Growing as a business means evolving and that often means facing the hard truth: “What got you here won’t get you there.” It’s a message that perfectly echoed the theme of the ANZCO Foods Women in Agriculture Conference: Be bold for change. Amanda, Kylie and Emma spent two inspiring days last week soaking up insights from high-calibre speakers on everything from time management and resilience, to playing to your strengths and turning challenges into opportunities.
