Over a decade of experience helping businesses to achieve and maintain a strong competitive edge through core planning and strategies is the experience behind the recent appointment of Angela Winiata as Business Development Manager with Harcourts’ Auckland based corporate team.

With Harcourts’ continued focus on growth in the key Auckland market, Ms Winiata is working with the Business Owners of 26 Harcourts offices in mainly the North Shore and Western parts of Auckland.
