AROUND THE REGIONS —

Adan Larsen NZCB President Taranaki

$2,000 raised for Taranaki Coastguard

TARANAKI

New Zealand Certified Builders (NZCB) Taranaki held a Builders Trade Expo at the Sport Fishing & Underwater Club in New Plymouth on 21 July. The event was open to all builders and tradies within the region. With over 120 tradies in attendance, the expo kicked off at 4.00pm with NZCB President Taranaki Adan Larsen giving everyone a warm welcome and thanking them for coming out in the horrendous weather. Part of the success of the expo was due to the relationships we hold with our building industry partners. We were fortunate to have 16 of these Partners join us and take up stands. The information sharing and interaction was outstanding. Suppliers commented that the event was one of the best opportunities they’d had to speak directly to the builders and get feedback on their products, in the last three years. Both parties gained valuable insights. Thanks to the generous donations of our partners there were lots of prizes and giveaways up for grabs. All attendees had the opportunity to enter the draw to win a Mercury 10/10 inflatable paddle board, valued at $999. The paddle board was won by a Western Institute of Technology (WITT) apprentice, working for a local construction company – congratulations! As a result of the event, and thanks to partner contributions, we raised $2,000 for our local coastguard. Local Coastguard Chairman Lee Drummond was extremely grateful for the contribution to the Taranaki region. A big thank you to our Partners; ITM New Plymouth, Makita, The Drug Detection Agency, Marley, Fortress Fasteners, ECKO Fastening Systems, James Hardie, Pink® Batts®, Bostik, PSP Limited, Thermakraft, GIB®, Staffy Scaffold, WITT, Miles Nelson Architectural Hardware, and Delfast. Overall, it was an outstanding event that will be repeated bi-annually. We look forward to future events being as successful as this one.
