🌟 Feel Good Friday Spotlight 🌟

Our remarkable Facilities Operator, Keith Newman, had a heartwarming encounter last week that we thought we would share.

Keith had the privilege of meeting a young girl from Foxton Beach School named Zaydi. Zaydi and her mum had notice a significant amount of rubbish at "Whitebait Creek" in Foxton and decided to take matters into their own hands. Together, they embarked on a mission to clear out all the rubbish.

Keith was genuinely moved by Zaydi's enthusiasm and dedication, he decided to put together a special goodie bag and organised our team to create a certificate of appreciation to honour Zaydi's remarkable environmental efforts.

This initiative not only made Zaydi's day but also cast a brighter light on the remarkable community spirit that thrives in Horowhenua. 🌊🌿

We’re looking forward to the official opening of the Mabel Street Housing Development in Levin this morning.
Our dedicated Horowhenua team have been applying the finishing touches on site this morning ahead of today’s unveiling.

We’re exceptionally proud of what the team have created over the past months. They’ve meticulously planted over 3500 plants, 39 trees, spread 370m3 of top soil and 100m3 of bark mulch and laid 500 m2 of turf. The effort beautifully compliments the outstanding work carried out on site by the other contractors.

Working alongside the Homestead Construction Ltd team has been an absolute pleasure. This innovative multi-residential development is the first of its kind and a game-changer for Levin. As the district continues to grow, this lifestyle choice is becoming increasingly popular for the future. As a team, we've cherished every step of this project and eagerly anticipate future projects that contribute to enhancing our community.

We recently had the pleasure of participating in the Waitarere Beach Community Planting Day, we're always proud to be able to collaborate with our clients and the local community. What makes it even more special is when we witness such an amazing turnout!

Our team kicked things off bright and early, set up the Traffic Management Plan, drilled holes for the plants, and then got busy on the BBQ to keep everyone energized. Before we knew it, all 700 plants were in the ground. Now that the mulch has been delivered and is ready to be spread, we're excited to see the final transformation.

Thank you to Horowhenua District Council and the incredible Waitarere Beach Progressive Association for inviting us to be a part of this fantastic event.
