    The long-term advantage with Simon Limmer

    In this episode of The Circle We Keep, host Izzy Fenwick sits down with Simon Limmer, Chief Executive of Indevin Group, whose career has unfolded like a beautifully balanced meal across Aotearoa’s food and fibre sectors. Simon talks about what’s kept him at the table: the deep connection between place, product, and purpose. That same instinct led him to help drive a pioneering Bay of Plenty initiative that brings together farmers, businesses, iwi, local government, and communities to understand how environmental change could redefine the region’s economy and identity and the steps that need to be taken now to protect it. Simon shares why this kind of systems thinking is not only essential, but uniquely possible in Aotearoa, where trust, proximity, and a shared sense of identity help turn complex challenges into collective opportunity.

    Formation of The Circle with Lady Jennie Fenwick

    Izzy’s understanding of the link between a healthy environment and a healthy economy began with a conversation on Waiheke Island in 2016. Her dad, Sir Rob Fenwick, was explaining the findings of a government report on the state of New Zealand’s marine environment. The message was stark: our declining natural resources weren’t just an ecological concern - they posed a real threat to our economic prosperity. In this preview to the first episode, Izzy sits down with her mum, Lady Jennie Fenwick, to reflect on Sir Rob’s legacy - as an environmentalist, business leader, and co-founder of The Aotearoa Circle. Together, they explore how his belief in quiet collaboration, cross-sector leadership, and practical action continues to guide New Zealand’s response to climate and nature challenges today.
