In 2022 FCNZ will be actively contributing to rural print publications to raise the profile of the industry. Depending on the audience of the publication, our contribution will focus on:

• Fencing as a career – to encourage new workers into the industry • How to find a fencing contractor – actively promoting FCNZ members to potential customers • Fencing best practice – tips and advice for those in the fencing industry Website update – members area

The most visited pages on fcanz.co.nz for the past 12 months have been the “Find a Fencing Contractor” pages. These pages function well for potential customers, so our focus has turned to making the rest of the website work better for our members. We have created a Members Area on the site under which you can find all of the info that may be of use to fencing contractors. At this stage this info is available to everyone, not just members. Tell us what you think of the new layout or if there is anything else you’d like to see by emailing communications@fencingcontractors.co.nz

Facebook & Instagram

Since December we have increased our activity on our social spaces and we’re looking to run some great competitions and promos in coming months. Make sure you follow us on Facebook or Insta so you don’t miss out.

Planning is well underway for both FCNZ Conference 2022 and Best Practice Day Roadshows. As we are sure you can appreciate, any event must abide by many “normal” rules and regulations and the constantly changing COVID requirements add an extra level of complexity to planning.

Our aim is to provide events that are as accessible to as many FCNZ members as possible so we are planning the following events under multiple scenarios:

• Best Practice Day Roadshows – planned for Spring 2022.

Details to follow in next WIRED

• Conference 2022 – save the date!

The link to register will be sent to members in coming months. Watch your inbox.

Conference 2022 SAVE THE DATE 3-5 August 2022, Dunedin
