Today on the podcast, I speak with Lucy Burke - Founder and Managing Director of Lucy's, a large-scale hire company redefining what event hire looks like in Aotearoa.

 

What began as a small idea to create better hire has grown into a large-scale operation with a head office in Mount Maunganui and warehouses in Auckland and Palmerston North - supporting everything from weddings and festivals to corporate activations and intimate dinner parties.

 

In this episode, Lucy shares about:

⭐️ Launching L.L Hire in 2014 to evolving into Lucy’s

⭐️ Her bold vision to disrupt the NZ hire industry

⭐️ The hustle behind building a business from scratch

⭐️ Confidence in her vision and what she’s creating

⭐️ Honest insights into the challenges of running a business

 

Lucy is honest, funny, and full of drive. I loved this conversation - her energy is infectious, her insights generous, and her honesty about the hard work behind the scenes is refreshing.


I know you’ll love this kōrero with Lucy as much as I did.


After listening I encourage you to visit the Lucy’s website lucysevents.com and get inspired about all the wonderful events you could create using their wonderful furniture And of course, follow Lucy’s on insta @lucyseventhire for even more epic event inspo.
