Wellington end-of-year event

New Zealand Certified Builders (NZCB) Wellington region held its end-of-year event last December. We all seem to have been running around like mad things since 2020, so it was lovely to see a great turnout at this event and to put another busy year behind us.

2023 could be potentially difficult for the construction industry, and we will really need the support that NZCB has to offer. It was encouraging, then, to see so many new members in attendance – they made up more than half the crowd – to mingle with more seasoned members as friends, not competitors. We’re in this together. We’re all in the same boat, and NZCB provides a community around us that we can reach out to for help, support, and guidance. Older members’ experience will prove invaluable in the year ahead. And sometimes, all it requires is a beer and a vent!

Our newer members enjoyed the evening and were keen to come back, as they met new people and felt the support and community of like-minded people around them. The committee hopes to host more events in different formats this year and to continue building attendance and a sense of community around NZCB membership.
