The Maber family were awarded the EY Family Enterprise Award of Excellence 2025. Multigenerational Collegians Geoff Maber (School 1961–1965), Craig Maber (Hall 1987–1991), and Brett Maber (Hall 1990–1994) make up the award-winning team at Power Farming.

The EY Entrepreneur of the Year are the world’s most prestigious business awards for entrepreneurs. The Family Award specifically recognises leaders of outstanding entrepreneurial families who have demonstrated a successful balance between business and family, growing the business while taking responsibility for others through philanthropic and social engagement. Prime Minister Chris Luxon presented the award to the family. 

They join a group of extremely talented and passionate people doing incredible things in the business world, and can attend the World Event in Monaco in 2026.

Power Farming Global (PFG) is a fully independent and privately owned group of companies with a three-generation history of serving the New Zealand and Australian tractor and machinery markets. In 2017, PFG expanded its international footprint by securing the exclusive distribution rights to Deutz-Fahr tractors in the USA.

The Maber family continues at St Paul’s Collegiate School with Maccy Maber (Hall 2023), the son of Brett and Jo Maber, who is currently attending the school, following in the footsteps of his father, uncle, and grandfather.
