Karen along with her husband Keith moved to the Coast over 10 years ago from Dairy Flat so they already had a strong affinity with the area as their boys attending local schools and clubs. They support Manly Sailing Club, Hibiscus Coast Athletics Club, Weiti Sailing Club, Hibiscus Coast Football Club and are active in Whangaparaoa Baptist. Karen joined the Future Whangaparaoa committee in 2017 and is keen to drive the Whangaparaoa Peninsula business network and make living and working on the Coast an option for everyone – why would you want to work off the Coast?
They opened NZ Sign Solutions in 2009 in Silverdale and have since moved it to Arklow Lane, Stanmore Bay (even closer to home!). They do all types of signage from small labels to car wrapping, gazebos, flags and banners. Karen Browne - 0274 966 589 - karen@signsolutions.co.nz Business: NZ Sign Solutions - signsolutions.co.nz |

As the Act Today National Sales Manager, partnering with my husband Mitch, we have successfully implemented and supported local businesses with Act! CRM products and services over the last 12 years. Understanding the pressures SME’s face today, I am passionate about seeing my clients achieving amazing results. As a grandma, I have a genuine care for my community through involvement in Life Education Trust (15 years), Coast Vineyard Church Management, Women ’s groups, and Sunday Volunteers leadership roles. This summer I learn to jetski, hiked the Tongariro Alpine Crossing and I aim to travel the South Island next Summer by motorbike.
