If you ask our staff what the best part of working at Hawkins Watts is - the answer will most likely be ‘the people’. We are very lucky to have talented and passionate people on staff, which creates a fun work environment.
Our history
From being founded in 1992, to expansion into Australia, and gaining many partnerships along the way.
The idea for Hawkins Watts was born in 1992 when a multinational food ingredients company decided to exit the New Zealand market. Peter Hawkins, a sales manager at the time, saw the opportunity to provide local manufacturers with their own trusted specialty ingredients supplier.
