Welcome to our great summer magazine – it’s always a well-read issue as we find the time to chill out over the holidays.

UP - the Ultimate Property magazine is now into its eighth year and continues to attract new readers and advertisers in the Bay of Plenty and across to Taupo. Almost all new magazines don’t see out their first birthday, so we must be doing something right.

I am frequently complimented on the quality and scope of the articles – we clearly have a special team. As a reader of UP, you are certainly on the right track.

Enjoy your summer with UP, and let us keep you abreast of developments in the New Year.

Paul Dykes, Managing Editor
