David and Claire have been in business together since they were 20.

David Dunn, co-founder of The Crafty Weka Bar, talks to Tom Raynel about starting his own business after decades in the industry, and why his business philosophy sets him up for success. Each Monday, we interview a small business owner, which is now a regular feature of NZME’s editorial campaign On The Up , showcasing uplifting stories of success, inspiration and possibilities. What is The Crafty Weka Bar? My wife Claire and I developed The Crafty Weka Bar to have a point of difference in the market, we wanted to develop something that was completely different from what’s been offered.

Our ethos was really to have something that was good for you and good for the planet. We just use whole foods, no artificial colourings or flavourings or anything like that, so it’s nature’s colours and flavours only. We make them here in Christchurch, and our bars are packed with protein, fibre, and whole grains.



They’re tasty, incredibly satisfying and perfect for on the go..
