Once upon a time… not so very long ago, there was a project manager called Heather Knewstubb. She lived in Waikanae, but travelled daily into Wellington to work. However, when the toilet leaked and she needed a plumber, or when a piece of furniture was being delivered she had to take annual leave to be around. When you live in Kapiti, you can’t just nip home for an hour!
It wasn’t always practical to work from home and even when in at work, lunch hours were spent going to the bank, collecting dry cleaning and shopping for birthday presents. Weekends were super busy trying to catch up with tasks around the house – including visiting her elderly mother and doing things for her... Heather realised there must be an easier way and lots of people out there like her, so she started Time Genie – a personal concierge business to serve the Kapiti area.
