FROM NZCB —
Goodbye, good luck and welcome! Sadly, this month we say goodbye to two exceptional staff members from the New Zealand Certified Builders (NZCB) National Support Office (NSO), Georgia Courtney and Ashleigh Fletcher, but we’re also excited to welcome two new members to the team, Kirsty Armstrong and Jess Hood. Goodbye Georgia and good luck Ashleigh Georgia, who is well known by many, has been with the Association since 2018 holding the position of Membership Benefits Coordinator. Georgia has often been the friendly, cheerful voice on the other end of the phone providing a range of assistance to our members. Georgia’s roles have been extensive, from managing all aspects of the NZCB merchandise, AA Membership and Fisher & Paykel to maintaining members details on their listings for our ‘Find a Builder’ section of the website. She has also offered NZCB Toolshed support, including helping members in the completion of NZCB online Building Contracts and Employment Agreements, alongside communicating other deals and discounts offerings for members. Georgia has also played a major part in many tasks behind the scenes, in assisting with the day to day operations at NSO. Choosing to pursue her dream, Georgia has moved to France to work on Super Yachts – we wish her all the best and happy sailing, Georgia! Thank you for your commitment and dedication to the NZCB NSO Team. Ashleigh, who joined the Association in 2020, holds the position of Marketing Executive and Digital Marketing Specialist and is currently on Maternity Leave. Bringing with her a wealth of knowledge, ideas and creativity, Ashleigh’s role at the Association has included designing and creating marketing collateral, digital marketing, website maintenance and communications. She has also been a big part in National event organisation and support for our regional committees. We wish Ashleigh and her fiancé James all the best for the safe arrival of their new family member! Welcome Kirsty and Jess! We are excited to introduce and welcome Kirsty Armstrong to the Association. Kirsty has taken over the role of NZCB Membership Benefits Coordinator in place of Georgia. Kirsty is currently studying through the Toi Ohomai institute of Technology towards her Diploma in Business Management, Marketing and Sales, which she aims to complete by July, 2022. Previously Kirsty worked for Barrantes in a part time capacity completing social media, website and administration functions. Prior to this, Kirsty was based in Hamilton working for the University of Waikato for three years as the Personal Assistant to the Director of Property.
