Auckland Office Location

Located at Level 8/29 Customs Street East in the bustling heart of Auckland CBD, our office is the perfect hub for hospitality services in New Zealand. From here, we work tirelessly to deliver exceptional hotel services to our clients across the country. To get to know more about our Auckland office, the culture and their purpose we spoke to our New Zealand General Manager, Tim Reynolds.

Meet General Manager: Tim Reynolds

With over 25 years of experience in hospitality, Tim Reynolds has seen it all and proved his success in managing operations across major hotel chains throughout New Zealand and Australia. Tim has the unique ability to balance the needs of the hotel with maintaining employee satisfaction and strong team culture. It's no wonder his motivator is "leading a team to success through mentoring and coaching others." We asked Tim a few questions about what life was like in the Auckland office, here is what he had to say...

What do you like most about the Auckland office?

I enjoy the social element of meeting our business colleagues from the wider company. I also really like our Auckland office's location, in the CBD right in the heart of Commercial Bay, with a great choice of coffee and lunch options. Its proximity to the hotels we manage makes for easy and spontaneous accessibility when we need to meet with the hotel staff.

What is the culture in the Auckland office?

Our office has a friendly and welcoming environment. As a shared office space with our parent company RGF Staffing APEJ, and other business units it provides a great mix of corporate and social spaces where we can collaborate and take time out. We offer flexible working, so we also work from home but often connect virtually to maintain our collaborative culture.

What’s your usual day-to-day in the Auckland office?

Freshly brewed Coffee from home before touching base with my Operations Managers and working through tasks of the day. Regular communication with key stakeholders such as our hotel partners' General Managers, Executive Housekeepers, suppliers and new business leads.

What is the main purpose of our Auckland head office?

The Auckland Office is the hub from where not only the ahs hospitality New Zealand team are based, but our colleagues from our other business organisations, are based. It is also where client meetings and candidate interviews for our many housekeeping,room attendant and other open roles are conducted.

What do you enjoy most about your job?

What I enjoy most about my job is the day-to-day interaction with people. As someone who thrives on human connection, it's great to be able to meet new people and engage with them on a regular basis. Whether it's with clients, customers, or colleagues, every interaction brings new perspectives and insights.
