Paul Stephenson

WHAT is your business:

Tart Bakery (and Synergia - a consulting firm)

​

BACKGROUND:

My career started in journalism.  For the past 25 years I have worked in healthcare. Firstly, managing health services and for the last 15 years building a consultancy firm that designs health and social services and creates data-analytic infrastructure.  More importantly, I help my wife, Philippa, manage Tart.  Which means mopping floors, paying staff and being really handy with a drill and hammer.  Between times we have brought up five children.

​

WHY did you join Grey Lynn & Around: I wanted to drive community improvement projects and build better local business networks.

​

WHERE do you live:

Hakanoa Street, Grey Lynn.  Tart is in Grey Lynn village and Synergia is just off Ponsonby Road, so we are 100% local.
