Hawke’s Bay teenage entrepreneur Hugo Moffett noticed a problem - school uniforms were expensive. So he decided to fix it.
The 17-year-old Napier Boys’ High School boarding student decided instead of spending hours scrolling online, he’d try to create a second-hand uniform website.

Moffett launched the New Zealand School Uniform website designed for buyers and sellers to connect in a cost-effective and eco-friendly way to buy school uniforms.
“I googled the average price of uniform and it was about $300, some are more expensive and some are cheaper - I was like that’s a lot.”
