From Strawberry Picking to Global Reach: The LM4 Story & What’s Next

Every business has a story. For LM4 Group, ours began humbly — in the fields, picking strawberries. What started as a family’s drive to work hard and create opportunity has grown into a people-centred enterprise with a footprint across New Zealand and beyond.

The Journey So Far

Over the years, LM4 has expanded into three core subsidiaries:

  • Alignz Recruitment – connecting businesses with the right people.
  • Puatala – training and equipping communities with the skills to thrive.
  • Oyonnx – delivering smart business solutions and digital services.

 Together, these arms of LM4 reflect our commitment to people, resilience, and innovation. From supporting local employers to advising on national programmes, we’ve stayed true to our Pasifika roots while evolving to meet the challenges of a changing economy.

Why LM4 is Different

Plenty of companies offer recruitment, consulting, or training. What sets LM4 apart is the family foundation and the community-first approach. We know the realities faced by businesses, workers, and families because we’ve lived them. That perspective keeps us grounded and gives us the agility to respond to what matters most: people.

Looking Ahead

The next chapter for LM4 is about growth with purpose:

  • Regional expansion – taking our services to more parts of New Zealand and overseas.
  • Technology investment – integrating digital tools to streamline recruitment, training, and business operations.
  • Upskilling communities – building stronger pathways for Pacific and Kiwi talent to succeed in a competitive market.

Why It Matters for You

For clients and partners, LM4’s growth means greater capability, deeper networks, and more holistic support. Whether it’s hiring the right team member, training staff for tomorrow’s skills, or navigating business transformation, we’re building the capacity to walk that journey alongside you.
