We are now almost one month into the new financial year, and it’s encouraging to reflect on the positive financial results achieved off the back of the last year. Thank you to every team member for your hard work and resilience during what has been a globally challenging period—your efforts have not gone unnoticed.

I’m also pleased to share that our Tauriko branch is now officially open and trading, marking an exciting step forward for the business. In addition, our Mt Maunganui team will soon be relocating to a larger, improved premises to better support our customers and continued growth.

Speaking of growth, over the past three months we have welcomed 18 new team members to the business—an excellent sign of momentum and opportunity ahead.

Recently, I travelled to Christchurch with members of the team, where we began developing a formal business strategy aligned to our vision of becoming the wholesaler of choice—through strong local partnerships and delivering tailored, innovative solutions across all sectors nationwide.

Finally, it’s been great to see our new branded clothing embraced across branches. It reinforces professionalism and makes a real impact—keep it up.

As always, my door is open and my phone is on if you need me.
