Jake Tipler - Business Growth Advisor
Jake leads Enterprise North Canterbury’s direct business growth support services, working alongside business owners to understand their challenges, identify opportunities, and connect them with the expertise, resources, and funding they need to grow. Through one-on-one business engagement, capability assessments, Regional Business Partner funding, training initiatives, and networking programmes, Jake helps businesses build stronger foundations and realise their potential. Originally from Canterbury, Jake is pleased to be back in the region. Outside work, he enjoys good coffee and wine, cooking, running, playing guitar and getting into the outdoors.
Miles Dalton - Business Support Manager
Miles leads Enterprise North Canterbury’s business support systems, business attraction activity, and major business events. His role focuses on creating the platforms, connections, and opportunities that help businesses across North Canterbury start, grow, invest, and thrive. From supporting new business owners and investors to managing key initiatives such as the North Canterbury Business Awards and Business Summit, he works across a broad range of programmes that strengthen the district’s business ecosystem. Miles is married to Catherine and they have three teenage children. In his spare time Miles works with not-for-profit organisations across New Zealand, including being on the board of our local food rescue charity, Satisfy Food Rescue. He also enjoys the general geekery of computer games, movies and TTRPGs. He runs around Pegasus Lake every morning, but despite having been running for almost a year he still hates it.
