About Auckland
Auckland sits on an isthmus between two harbours, with a few dozen volcanoes under it and the Hauraki Gulf on the doorstep. It is the largest city in the country: head offices, the international airport, and about a third of the population.

Auckland is the biggest market on the board and the most crowded one. A listing here competes with more businesses than anywhere else in the country: software, property, hospitality, trades, lawyers and every start-up that wants its name in front of the country's head offices.
