When Shaun
Jacka and his wife Kathryn came back to New Zealand from
Australia three years ago, wondering what business
opportunity to pursue, one thing they really missed was
their favourite Queensland yoghurt.
“There was nothing like if over here,” he says. “We convinced the Australians to let us have a crack at it.”
The result is Piako Gourmet Yoghurt, a thick, indulgent-tasting treat pitched at the specialty and premium end of the market, which has the Auckland-based company as one of 10 finalists in the Entrepeneurs’ Challenge run by Auckland University’s School of Business.
