Strong personal connections and support of our local communities in:

• Blockhouse Bay (where Darius attended the local daycare in 1974 [Blockhouse Bay Baptist Kindy],  and then local primary schools [Marshall Laing Primary and Christ the King Primary], and where Nikeeta also lived from the age of 12);
• Grafton / Newmarket (where they went to high schools [Epsom Girls Grammar & St Peters College]);
• Avondale (where they first met at Darius’ 21st party held at Avondale Racecourse function centre);
• South Auckland (where Darius worked at the Ford Motor Company Manufacturing Plant in Wiri for 10 years starting off as a graveyard shift factory assistant while studying towards his PhD; later working his way up to becoming the R&D, Technology and Engineering Manager of the company).
