Ata mārie,

Waikato Waahine Collective Symposium
What a day! From inspiring conversations and powerful stories to new connections and plenty of energy in the room, it was fantastic to see over 300 waahine come together to learn, connect and be inspired at last week's Waikato Waahine Collective Symposium. 

Events like this take many, many hours to bring together, but from our perspective, they are incredibly important. We believe in creating spaces where women in business can come together to be inspired, build meaningful connections, have honest conversations, and continue growing both personally and professionally. A huge thank you to our incredible sponsors especially major sponsors 2degrees and Craigs Investment Partners, our speakers, panellists, supporters and everyone who helped make the day possible.

Fuel prices are on the move again
After showing signs of recovery, the global fuel market has entered another period of volatility. Rising crude oil prices, reduced Russian diesel supply and renewed tensions around the Strait of Hormuz are putting fresh pressure on fuel costs, with diesel particularly affected.

In this month's fuel market update, Waitomo Group, explains what's driving these changes, why diesel is moving more sharply than petrol, and what the latest developments could mean for Waikato businesses across transport, farming, construction and distribution. Understand what is happening globally and what businesses can do to manage fuel costs - read the full fuel market update here.

Have a great week ahead,
The Chamber Team
