What they say

"When I first started Nordic Walking I had no intention of doing it as a business, but the more I learned the more interested I became. I had the usual thoughts of "expense of setting up" etc, however NOWANZ has supported me and encouraged me on my journey to becoming a Leader. ... They have all the tools required to market the business, fantastic teaching and excellent communication skills."
