About Us
Our Story
In 2012, Veros was formed with a clear vision: to make complex projects real — and deliver them with commercial clarity, strong direction, and sharp insight.
We started with two people and one bold idea: that project partners deserve better.
Smarter thinking. Sharper delivery. Stronger outcomes.
And that’s what we’ve built.
Today, Veros is a team of 25+ strategic minds and delivery specialists. We work across strategy, property advisory, development management, and project management – partnering with landowners, developers, iwi, Māori trusts, corporates, and local government across Aotearoa. From front-end strategy to boots-on-the-ground execution, Veros brings commercial clarity, smart delivery, and results that last.
The foundation of our business is honesty and trust. We give our clients solid, commercial advice so every project starts the way it should finish.
Duarne Lankshear, Founding Director
We’re proud to be independent, outcome-obsessed, and fully embedded in the places we work. Our flat structure means quick decisions, straight answers, and no wasted time.
At Veros, there are no passengers — just people who own what they do and get things done.
And how we do it? That’s where we really stand out.
You’ll find us in Tauranga, Hamilton, and Rotorua — and working on projects right across New Zealand. Whether we’re in the office or out on site, sleeves are up, and we’re making it real.
Our values and culture.
At Veros, values aren’t just words on a wall — they shape how we work, how we lead, and how we show up for each other and our clients.
We back our people to make smart decisions, take ownership, and drive outcomes. Because at Veros, success isn’t just about delivery — it’s about clarity, trust, and momentum at every step.
Here’s how we live it every day:

Our values show up in action — from the way we lead projects to how we give back, stay safe, and build for the future. Learn more about what’s important to us →
How we work.
At Veros, how we work matters just as much as what we deliver.
Here’s what sets us apart:
- We start with strategy. Veros takes time to understand your project, risks, and goals – so you can make smart decisions early, not costly ones later.
- We act like owners. We treat your time and outcomes like our own. If something doesn’t stack up, we’ll tell you – and help find a better path forward.
- We bring sharp thinking. Veros simplifies complexity, challenges assumptions, and keeps your project moving in the right direction.
- We stay agile. We adapt fast — without losing sight of the big picture. Reliable when it counts, flexible when it matters.
- We back our people, and yours. With Veros, you get real people doing the real work. We make our clients part of the team — and we’ve got your back from day one.
- We deliver. We hit deadlines, manage risk, and protect your reputation. Veros makes sure you come out stronger on the other side.
In short? We lead. We listen. We make it real.
