Lexus of North Shore Charity Lunch with Nick Mowbray of Zuru

Thursday 19th August, North Harbour Stadium

The North Harbour Club Trust Board is thrilled to host Nick Mowbray of global powerhouse Zuru for our second Lexus of North Shore Charity Lunch for 2021.

At Zuru innovation is action, and innovation is what allows Zuru to take a fledgling idea and make it into an award-winning, best-selling brand.
Joining us as our keynote speaker is Nick Mowbray, the 36-year-old CEO of international consumer goods giant Zuru, the business he co-founded in 2003 with brother Mat, and later sister Anna, that’s now one of the most profitable start-ups in the world. Zuru has grown organically from just $20,000 in the bank to over $1.3 billion in annual revenue, all the while eschewing outside investment as a wholly privately owned entity. Now with three arms – Toys, Edge and Tech—Zuru employs over 8000 staff in 27 offices around the world and its products are distributed in the biggest retailers in 121 countries.
Mowbray is considered one of the most exciting entrepreneurs in the space: his vision, business acumen and pursuit of the new and next has seen him inducted into the EY World Entrepreneur of the Year Hall of Fame (having been named EY Entrepreneur of the Year twice) and landed him in Forbes, BBC News and the Wall Street Journal. The New Zealand native is regularly called to speak at industry summits both at home and abroad, and is a staunch supporter of a range of charities including Auckland’s Starship Children's Hospital, Foodbank New Zealand and Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation.
