_The Evening Post_, 3 April 1925:

REMARKS OF PROFESSOR OF
          ARCHITECTURE
  … Professor C. R. Knight, who arrived at Auckland this week to take the new Chair of Architecture at the Auckland University, laughingly denied having any particular plans for teaching new architecture to New Zealand. Every town… had to be judged from an architectural point of view by its local conditions…. Location, trade, and lay-out all had their influences on building.

Bytes Europe · Warwick Slow, BDM and past New Zealand Mortgage Awards winner, offers tips for working with advisersSlow: I spend a lot of time listening rather than talking. Every adviser’s business is different and you can’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. A big part of my role is making sure they feel heard and that we’re actually solving their problems, not just selling them a product.  NZA: What kind of advice would you have for BDMs who are hoping to be recognized in the year ahead?  Slow: Focus on relationships, not transactions. If you genuinely care about helping people succeed, the results will come. And don’t underestimate the power of follow-ups. Advisers are busy. Sometimes it’s just about
