Luke van Veen


I began in the Hospitality industry back around 2011 when I was studying a BMS at Waikato university, from there I quickly learned that the industry had a lot to offer and would be more than just a way to pay for my studies. Fast forward twelve years a lot of blood, sweat and ambition, I now own two hospitality business in sunny Papamoa and Mount Maunganui.

Throughout my years in the industry I have had the pleasure of working alongside some truly great people from all around New Zealand. Which is one of the many reasons I am so passionate about this industry, THE PEOPLE.

I pride myself on ensuring a Positive and Fun Team Culture whilst empowering the people throughout my businesses to succeed, as I find this industry has the power to bring the best out of people when they are given the right tools.

Business ownership is tough as there are many pressures and I understand firsthand many of the challenges business owners may experience. I am available to help guide our members utilising my knowledge, skills and previous industry experience.
