🌸 We are thrilled to introduce our Ladies Lunch guest speaker — she's styled, she's savvy, and she's here to inspire: meet Lulu Wilcox! 🌸

Born and raised in Matamata, Lulu attended Matamata College before following her passion into the world of styling — and she hasn't looked back since. From the fast-paced world of fashion to the art of beautiful interiors, Lulu has built a career that is as colourful and creative as the inner-city home she shares with her two daughters. A woman whose career, home and beauty philosophy are seamlessly intertwined, Lulu is living proof that when you love what you do, it shows in everything you create.

🎟️ Grab your tickets at Life Pharmacy Matamata and come hear all about Lulu at our Ladies Lunch — you won't want to miss this one! 💕

🥳Celebrating a Long-Standing Partnership

CooperAitken has supported Pohlen Foundation for many years, and their steadfast generosity is greatly appreciated.

We’re thrilled to share Louise's wonderful and well-deserved news—she has been made a partner.

️✨️Congratulations, Louise!✨️

Introducing our new Partner: Louise Maxwell-Granich 🎉🎉

We’re excited to share that from 1 April 2026, Louise has been appointed a Partner at CooperAitken.

Louise has been a valued member of our team for the past eight years and has been Client Manager to Anna Bennett since 2021. Over this time, she has built strong, trusted relationships with clients across the agribusiness and commercial sectors, and has become known for her practical, commercially focused advice and clear, approachable communication style.

Louise has extensive experience advising farming and agri based businesses, alongside a wide range of commercial entities. Her expertise spans business and tax planning, entity and ownership structures, succession and long term planning, IFRS reporting and compliance, and trusts and company structures, allowing her to provide practical, well rounded advice that supports clients through growth, change, and investment decisions.

Throughout her career at CooperAitken, Louise has worked closely with clients to help them navigate complexity with confidence, ensuring tax efficiency, compliance, and commercial realities are always carefully balanced.

Louise will continue working closely with her existing clients in her new role. Her appointment recognises her outstanding contribution to the firm and reflects our ongoing commitment to strong leadership and continuity for the benefit of our clients.

Outside of work, Louise enjoys gardening and baking (often sharing the results with the office), keeping active through netball and the gym, and spending time with family, friends, and her very cute dog. She also has a keen interest in travel and history.

We are incredibly proud of Louise and excited to see her step into her partner role. Her appointment is a significant milestone for both Louise and CooperAitken, and we greatly look forward to the leadership, insight, and continued value she will bring to our clients and our firm.

Please join us in congratulating Louise!! 👏
