About the practice
Aroha's practice is roughly 70% horticulture-AEWV — kiwifruit pack-house roles, orchard managers, post-harvest operators. She also handles the residential-construction trades pipeline (concreters, framers, scaffolders) coming into the BoP build sector. Fixed fee, with a strong preference for working through the same employers repeatedly — knowing the accreditation history saves time and surprises.
Typical case-load
Pacific Island and Filipino horticulture and trades migrants
