Partnering with Du’Plessis Kirifi and Mila Reuelu-Buchanan

We’re thrilled to welcome two truly inspiring leaders to the Rutherford & Bond and King Toyota family, Du’Plessis Kirifi and Mila Reuelu-Buchanan. Both are exceptional individuals who embody the values we hold close: a genuine passion for connecting with others, giving back to the community, and striving for excellence in everything they do.

Their leadership, commitment, and dedication to positive change make them perfect Brand Guardians as we work together to make a meaningful impact here in Wellington. Over the coming months, we’ll be collaborating on initiatives designed to support our local community, celebrate talent, and inspire others to get involved.

What makes this partnership even more special is that Du’Plessis is an All Black and Mila is a Silver Fern, representing New Zealand on the world stage. Both grew up in Wellington, rising through grassroots sports to reach the highest levels of their respective codes. Their journeys reflect not only incredible talent but also hard work, perseverance, and leadership, values that align closely with what we champion as a company: nurturing local talent and supporting the next generation of athletes.

Welcome to the team, Du’Plessis and Mila. We’re so grateful to have partnered with you and can’t wait to see all the incredible things we’ll achieve together.
