ABOUT US.

 

We (Doug and Phil) created Mana Within to help people like ourselves.

We are Māori and Pasifika NZ trade qualified carpenters.

We’ve been the labourers, apprentices, tradesmen and are business owners.

 

We are industry assessors, tutors, and mentors who understand trade qualifications & the building industry.

 

We’ve benefited from the building industry and have also experienced some obstacles along the way.

We want to share these experiences & knowledge with other people to make their journey smoother.
