The creation of Waiho Hot Tubs was a response to the impact COVID-19 was having on his existing businesses. Adam took the brave decision to start something new and something that would support other struggling businesses, not just his own.
“Franz Josef’s isolation creates a special community spirit and strong interdependence between businesses. We need each other to be successful in order to succeed ourselves,” Adam said.
Development West Coast chief executive Heath Milne said: “Our Supreme Winner, Adam Haugh from Waiho Hot Tubs, is to be congratulated for his deserving win.”
“His decision to start a new business has not only meant keeping his own staff employed but provided work for a lot of other businesses in the glacier townships.”
