Back in May, we hosted a Mini Trade Show at our Horowhenua branch, bringing customers, supplier and the sparky's together for an afternoon of great products, useful conversations and plenty of learning.

With 21 suppliers on site, there were loads of new products to explore, exciting prizes to win, food and drinks to enjoy, and plenty of friendly banter along the way.

It was also a chance to celebrate one year since our Horowhenua branch opened.

Thanks to everyone who came along and to all the suppliers who helped make the afternoon such a success.

We are celebrating 25 years of Rangi Nukunuku at Advance Electrical Wholesalers.

Twenty five years is more than a milestone. It is 25 years of showing up, day after day, bringing knowledge, commitment and high standards to the people around you.

Rangi started with Advance after gaining experience at Master Trade. Today, as our Purchasing Manager, he plays an important role in making sure the products we stock meet the right standards and specifications for our customers.

Rangi is known for his knowledge, attention to detail and straightforward approach. He is also known for his immaculate lawn, his bird aviary and the time he invited the team to a party that turned out to be his wedding.

Thanks Rangi, for 25 years of hard work, commitment and expertise. Congratulations on your Advance-aversary.

Smart Home Technology is Here. Are You Ready to Spec It?

Smart home demand is growing fast. Your customers want to control lighting, blinds, garage doors, and appliances from their phone, and PDL Wiser makes it easy for you to deliver.

No special wiring needed. It is scalable, so customers can start small and add more over time. It works with the Solis Collection range of switches and power points, and connects to garage doors, electric gates, pool pumps, and more.

A recent show home in Taupo by Design Builders puts it all on display. Motion-sensor lighting, LED strips under staircase treads, a Schneider EV charger linked to Wiser for off-peak scheduling, and voice-activated scenes in the media room.

The big takeaway: involve your electrician from day one. The Visionspec consultation with PDL lets you and your client plan the electrical design before the build starts.

Talk to your local Advance branch about PDL Wiser. Check out the latest Marketplace Magazine in branch or get the full article here https://marketplacemagazine.co.nz/blog/intuitive-living/

New Zealand's first ever data cabling qualification is here.

The NZ Certificate in Data Cabling (Level 3) is a 44-week programme from Skills Trades Training that covers installation, termination, testing, and documentation. The commitment is minimal, just a four-day block course in Auckland or Christchurch, plus online learning and on-the-job practice. Your team keeps working while they qualify.

With smart buildings and digital infrastructure driving more demand for data cabling work, this is a great opportunity to upskill your team or point your apprentices in the right direction.
