What you should know about Hubbard Foods
We are excited to be principal sponsor for the Hubbards Head2Head Walk, a 125km relay about the Manukau Harbour. In the days when the Kea was part of the Hubbards logo, we helped fund Kea conservation projects to the tune of 13,00 which has contributed to the current 500 Keas roaming freely in the wild. To show our support for budding food technologists, we offer a Massey University Food Technology Scholarship each year to 1st year students enrolling at Massey University. We also love to roll up our sleeves and help out in the community whenever we can. But what really gets us feeling proud and excited is when we hear about all the amazing things you, the great New Zealand public, are doing out there in Kiwi land.
Over the years, Hubbards has been involved in a whole host of good community causes. From supporting students studying food technology at Massey University, to spending time and energy on local projects and charities such as Outward Bound and Ronald McDonald House. It’s basically a home away from home for families from all over NZ whose desperately ill children require life saving treatment. They give shelter and support to those families who’ve had to travel to Auckland because the specialist treatment their child needs isn’t necessarily available locally.
Standing on a rock in the middle of Central Park, Dick Hubbard announces to the world, well, Diana aka Mrs Hubbard , his plan to start creating cereals that would make New Zealand proud and healthier at the same time. It’s because on this day, Diana popped our three very first recipes into his birthday card. Inspired by all things 8 wire, Mildred gave us some glorious years of service, mixing away our Mueslis. Now long since retired and replaced by slightly more advanced machinery, she now has pride of place in our Mangere Shed.
We’ve been fans of the Outward Bound program for years now, and in 1997 we decided to make a cereal for those who love getting out in the great Kiwi outdoors and doing amazing things. Or as Dick said, Sometimes you have to be irrational in order to bring sunshine into the lives of people . When The National Heart Foundation of New Zealand gave us their Nutrition award, and the Image Coding Technologies Cereal and Bread Products Award was handed to us for our Light Right range, it was all a bit much. The great thing about creating new flavours is, well, coming up with them! I plan to create and promote a food product that is both tasty and nutritious, which can be sold and enjoyed by people throughout New Zealand and overseas
