About New World Matamata

My name is Matthew and my wife Sheree and I are very proud to be the Owner Operators of New World Matamata.

I have spent a number of years in the supermarket industry, firstly as owner of Ohope Beach 4 Square, then New World Papakura. My family made the move back to the Waikato in May 2013 to take over ownership of New World Matamata.

Having spent half a lifetime in team environments (having played cricket up to and including NZ Black Caps level) I am passionate about being a part of a team and helping people succeed at their position. My wife Sheree is also a former New Zealand sports representative (badminton) and her skills as a Chartered Accountant and former business owner have also merged nicely within our store.

Like any good business it is important to keep evolving and looking to improve. So we gained shopper insights and designer feedback and have recently re-designed and re-furbished our store to give our customers the very latest in shopping experience.  So come on in and check us out. You are bound to see a friendly local face as we employ 160 local folk who give our store Hart.

We love being a part of such a tight knit and supportive community. See you in store!
