TDC chief quits post for Coast FROM PAGE 1 Paul says it would be a backwards step for Tasman to amalgamate with Nelson City and the commission got it wrong. “It [their decision] wasn’t made on evidence and I think people will see it as just a politically-driven decision.”

If the commission continues with its recommendation for amalgamation then expect the final few months of Paul’s reign to be noisy.

Asked if he intended to stay vocal on the issue until the end of his employment he said he would have to wait and see. “There are two new

commissioners on board who will hopefully have the courage to say the draft plan wasn’t a well-reasoned document, but politically driven and that’s not what the act requires. I’m still hoping the new commissioners will make a proper evidence-based decision.”

He says he has studied the report and cannot see any evidence that it is in the best interests of Tasman ratepayers.

“It’s hard to see how this would be better for Tasman and if there isn’t any [advantages] then we shouldn’t be looking at it.”

Paul’s final day at the TDC is December 2.

The Sprig & Fern brewery have got right in behind the USA rugby team ahead of the upcoming Richmond Festival of events.

Decorating their Beach Rd brewery is one way they are showing their support to our American visitors to this region, another is being the principle sponsor of the Tasman 7’s rugby Tournament; the Star’s and Stripes Block Party and the All-star Tailgate Party.

Sally Wood from Richmond Unlimited believes this sponsorship is “vital to the success of the events and has enabled us to create events that our locals will want to come along to.”

Bands such as the Krazy Kats, Gypsy Pickers and the Madson Brothers have been confirmed as a direct result of this sponsorship. The Stars and Stripes Block Party will kick off in Sundial Square at 5pm on Monday September 26 following on from the parade and mall festivities in the afternoon. People are asked to come along dressed in their favourite American outfit and hit the dance floor to dance to American classics, as spot prizes (like tickets for the Nelson games) will be distributed to those getting into the adopt a second team concept.

Richmond School students jumped in to a frenzy last week.

More than 300 students took part in a Jump Rope for Heart day, a day to get New Zealand children active and skipping.

“The Heart Foundation have been doing the Jump Rope for Heart for years and years and it’s just getting the kids out there and doing a bit of fitness,” says teacher Kim Quint.

For the last three years Kim has put together a demonstration team of more than a dozen students comprising of the top skipping talents at the school. “I select them from a trial and it goes from there really. Because it’s quite a specialised skill the whole school is involved in the actual learning of the skipping. But the team itself, they try and do more of the specialised skills.”

Kim says the skipping has been beneficial for the students in a range of areas. “It’s fantastic for your heart. It’s also a coordination thing, JUMPING FUN: Richmond School students Liberty Taylor, 10, Phil- it helps them along the way ip Jordan, 11, CJ Wilkins, 11, Samantha Hardie, 10, take part in the with reading and writing school’s Jump Rope for Heart day.

The Hyundai i-flow concept car carries forward the company’s evocative new form language, ‘fluidic sculpture’. The flowing, elegant lines not only create a bionic, futuristic shape, but also contribute to exceptional aerodynamics, helping to reduce the car’s CO2 output to just 85g/km and fuel consumption to only 3l/100km. Hyundai’s first diesel hybrid powertrain is also a key factor in delivering such an environmentally-conscious return, as is the application of next-generation materials and technologies developed in cooperation with leading chemical company BASF. With an overall length of 4.780mm and a 2.800mm wheelbase, the i-flow brings new ideas and a pioneering form to the traditional European D-segment. The dramatically-sculpted forms of the interior and exterior make for a striking sports sedan, and its width and height (1.850mm and 1.420mm respectively) give it an athletic stance.

The name i-flow reflects the exceptionally aerodynamic shape and the flowing lines of the concept car’s eye-catching styling, and retains the ‘i’ prefix of Hyundai’s established alphanumeric nomenclature for Europe. In 2011 Hyundai will bring into production a new challenger in the segment, drawing on the i-flow’s sleek styling and innovative technology.

Thomas Buerkle, Chief Designer at Hyundai Motor Europe, appraises the design concept of iflow, or HED-7, the seventh in a series of daring concept cars to be born in the Russelsheim styling studio: “The first impression of i-flow is the striking appearance generated through feminine sculptural layers combined with broad, athletic proportions. The rearward-oriented peak of the roof and distinctive main volume give an ultra-

modern interpretation of the sedan genre. These unique proportions are complemented by the long tail and the short front overhang, features which were inspired by aerodynamic motives.

“Sporting intentions are emphasized through innovative active aero elements, such as the adaptive front spoiler and side rocker blade. Sophisticated, futuristic front and rear light elements are cradled like sparkling jewels within the car’s flowing planes, and the signature Hyundai hexagonal grille completes the frontal aspect. “The sense of agility and focused aerodynamics is further enforced by the glass roof., with its semi-transparent dye-sensitized solar cells connecting the front and rear screens to create an integral design unit. The roof and door glazing blend to form a unified shell, undercutting the floating C-pillar to produce an undisturbed, aerodynamic canopy. These daring, refined details complement the i-flow’s overall appearance to culminate in a bold design statement which advances Hyundai’s fluidic sculpture philosophy.”

The i-flow is a test bed for new energy harvesting ideas, ranging from flexible solar panel roofing to a thermo-electric generator. The key technical components of the vehicle have been developed by Hyundai under the Blue Drive™ banner in cooperation with BASF. Blue Drive™ remains at the heart of Hyundai’s product development strategy, and continues to drive the company towards its target of global leadership in environmentally-sensitive technologies.

So watch this space as this car could be coming to a showroom near you soon. For more details on the Hyundai range come and see the team at Bowater Hyundai at 45 Hardy St, Nelson.

Salisbury School picks up community award Salisbury School were one of the big winners at the TrustPower Nelson Tasman Community Awards held at Seifrieds on Monday night, taking home the Heritage and Environment Award.

Since 2004 Salisbury School’s students have been involved in a restoration project at Blumine Island – an outer island in the Queen Charlotte Sound.

Last year they went to the Island twice for six days and spent their time clearing tracks, monitoring traps, collecting tree species data and water monitoring, among other things.

Two years later in 2006 the girls started giving their time to the restoration and protection of Mangarakau Swamp. They have been planting, weeding, checking traps and have even made

Weta Motels which provide homes for swamp wetas and the odd native leaf vein slug or gecko.

The students have also been involved in the restoration work at Reservoir Creek and have taken part in numerous beach clean ups.

The girls at Salisbury School have received many accolades for their environmental work.

Untouched World’s Peri Drysdale is involved in the Blumine Island project and says “the main reward is seeing young people experience an opportunity, gaining powerful life skills and encouraging people to be environmentally active in their community.”

The Tasman District overall winner was the Motuekea Recreation Centre, which attracts Salisbury School principal Brenda Ellis and student Zoe Pinny at the Trustaround 270,000 visitors a year.

Medlab moves to new health centre Another business has signed on to the new Lower Queen St development.

Medlab South has signed a lease agreement for its Richmond phlebotomy clinic. With improved access for mobility scooters, great car parking and a better waiting area, this will help solve many of the issues that have frustrated its patients over the last five years, it says.

Medlab will have its own entrance on the ground floor and will operate independently of the other tenants.

Medlab says it will be operating from the centre as of Monday, September 19.

TOP MAN: Hope resident Lester Royds received a Community Award for his recognition on the Hope Reserve Board. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Former reserve member scoops local award Hope means a lot to resident Lester Royds and it’s probably because he reckons it’s the nicest place on Earth.

So it was only a surprise to him when he was announced a recipient of the Tasman District Council’s Community Awards earlier this month for his recognition within the Hope community and his involvement on the Hope Reserve Board.

“You get the TDC letters and you don’t like to see the ones coming in August because that’s your rates bill, but the one I got in July was a real sur-

prise,” says Lester.

The Hope Reserve was established in 1964, but it was in 1986 when Lester became involved as a board member.

He remembers all the volunteer hours that went in to the community project including regular trips to the river with his shovel to collect gravel for the tennis courts.

The Hope Reserve is seen as a center point for the community and features tennis courts, a playground, a wedding venue and much more.

LETTERS

TO THE EDITOR

I am a 93 year-old Second World War veteran and I have lived in Waimea Village for eight years. Until six months ago it was quite tolerable and I enjoyed the environment. However, when I got the letter advising me that the lease was about to rise to $180 per month I was devastated. It has been lowered to $125 per month, which is still too much in my estimation. However,

the action that really got to me was the attempted stoppage of medical supplies being delivered to patients not able to collect, leaving them liable to immense stress. This is sadism at its worst and in my case, adds unnecessary stress. When I held back the back pay for the new levy I was sent a copy of the code with parts relating to the evicting of resident etc and the paying of any monies owing, plus interest, which in my book is extortion.

Sincerely, Albert Whitehouse, Waimea Village, Richmond.

I am writing on behalf of the residents who have had enough of the spitefullness, deception and hatred of some that is circulating the village and beyond. Everybody knows (or should do) that when costs go up, user pays! Those people wouldn’t not go to the government, TDC, supermarket owners and petrol stations and verbally abuse them for putting prices up. Let those people sell up and move out. There are plenty who will buy or rent their houses, which has been proven. You say there’s 12 houses (out of 171) for sale at this time.

Because the majority of people living here are elderly, when they die or move on to

Fathers Day

nursing homes, of course their houses are sold. For the many services provided here (at least 11) and for the lease of the land that their houses sit on the cost is $31.25 per week. The villagers also enjoy the security, company and the many activities going on at the comminual hall, for which the owners provide toilet rolls, tea, coffee, sugar, milk and a daily paper and power and heating. The village is a wonderful place to live in and we want to keep it that way. This place is not a registered retirement village.

Yours faithfully, J.R Oakes, Resisdent.

Tasman Tyre Treads Tasman Tyres have moved down the road to a bigger, bolder and more customer friendly location on McGlashen Ave. The new big red workshop and store provides a much more open area with plenty of parking on the premises. The new store was officially opened earlier this month by none other than V8 Supercars legend Greg Murphy.

The team at Tasman Tyre Treads in Richmond is fronted by John Glen and he leads an experienced line of employees. John has been in the tyre game for more than 30 years and loves every moment in the industry.

He makes sure you are getting the correct tyres and services for your requirements at a price that suits you. John’s always keen for a friendly yarn, “Having good customer interaction is a big thing for us here, we really enjoy serving our customers, give them the service they need and get ‘em on the correct tyres. It’s of-

ten not the most expensive tyres that are the most appropriate for what they’re doing, so it’s all good value for money down here,” says John.

John says having Greg Murphy down to officially unveil the new site was “brilliant.”

“He was meant to be here from 1pm to 4pm, but he was here by 9am and stayed for the whole day. It was packed. He genuinely enjoyed mixing with the people of Richmond and says he loves coming to Nelson” Tasman Tyres was originally setup in approx 1963 by a syndicate of companies involved in the motor trade and transport industry on the West Coast. The original purpose was to retread and distribute tyres to various workshops and tyre retailers throughout the West Coast and Buller. They began retailing tyres in Greymouth from service vehicles and their William Street store and in 1964 their Westport outlet was Manager John Glen and his team Chris Horner, Wayne Tower (Dean Williams absent) are ready established. to help get you on the road.

Ph 544 0105

Racing legend Greg Murphy was on hand recently to officially open Tasman Tyre Treads new building. Greg is pictured with Tasman Tyres board member, Joanne Cummings and Phil Greenem, who was previously manager of the Motueka branch.

In 2000 Tasman Tyres purchased the business previously owned by Kevin and Liz Newport in Richmond, followed in 2002 by the purchases of stores in Motueka (managed by Andrew McGowan) and Oamaru. Tasman Tyre Treads also operate a retread factory in Greymouth where they retread truck tyres, repair all manner of tyres, and they also carry out a wide range of rubber bonding tasks. After being located on Gladstone Road for more than ten years, and with access issues compounded by the recent roading alterations, John was ready to move to a site with prime parking and just a hop and skip

from the Richmond Mall. “The retail side of it has just kicked off immensely now.”

Also, ownership of the site cements Tasman Tyre’s future in Richmond and shows the company’s commitment to the region. All Tasman stores are Firestone outlets and Bridgestone authorised dealers, stock Castrol lubricants and sell Century batteries. With two warrant of fitness providers located in the same street, Tasman Tyres is in the perfect location if you need a quick fix for your tyres. “It’s much easier if you have a tyre issue with your warrant of fitness to just pop down the road.”

Tasman Tyre Treads with their signage needs

John says that “Joe Public” only rarely budgets for tyres and in most cases people are after something affordable. At Tasman Tyres you will get premium quality products at prices that suit your budget.

No matter what kind of vehicle you drive, the Tasman Tyres team will be able to take care of it.

They don’t just do tyres; they’ll do wheel alignments, wheel balancing and puncture repairs as well. When your wheel alignment goes out of balance it can cause serious problems - like irregular wear, lower fuel efficiency and even driver fatigue. So to get the best from your tyres and make sure your car is safe, it’s vital you have all four wheels pointing in the right direction. Indications that your vehicle might need a wheel alignment done can include feeling like your car is pulling to one side or the other, feeling like your car is ‘fighting you’ through the steering, you have recently had new tyres fitted or your vehicle has hit anything on the road like a pothole. Tasman Tyres professional technicians will use the latest technology to make sure your wheels are correctly aligned.

If your car feels like it’s got the shakes, you may well have one or more unbalanced wheels. This can cause uneven tread wear, flat spots in your tyres and even permanent vibration. Luckily, getting your wheels balanced can easily fix it.

Not only will it reduce driver fatigue and motion sickness, but it can also help increase fuel economy and make your tyres, steering and suspension systems last much longer.

You should always get your wheels balanced when you notice unusual vibrations in your steering wheel, your car shakes at certain speeds, new tyres have recently been fitted, a tyre has been removed from its rim or you notice any irregular tyre wear.

If you are looking for something to make your car look a wee bit special, check out their alloy and mag wheels and performance tyres. Whether you need tyres for fleet, farming, commercial or everyday use, John and his team will make sure you are looked after with the best products and unbeatable service.

After so long in the business, the guys are all ‘whizzes’ at changing a tyre too. In double quick time you will be back on the road on your new tyres. “If you’ve got the right gear and the right people it doesn’t take long.”

A fully equipped fleet service is run from each of the outlets with 24 hour callout available.

Tasman Tyres Richmond is currently running a promotion to win $1000 worth of tyres. You just need to pop along to the store to enter. It’s as easy as that. And don’t forget you can claim AA Rewards every time you shop with Tasman Tyres.

Need a tyre fixed? Come visit John and the team today. Enjoy a relaxing coffee while you wait, or the guys can make arrangements to pick up your car or drop you to work.

“Tasman Tyres are a good company with good values too, and that’s a very important thing, both to us as employees and to you as customers,” says John.

HOMETOWN HERO: Former Waimea Old Boys center Junior Sifa has been selected for the USA Eagles’ World Cup squad. USA are scheduled to play Italy in Nelson on September 27. Photo: Andrew Board.

Former Waimea star makes US Eagles’ World Cup team As locals prepare to head along to Trafalgar Park to watch Italy play the United States in less than a month, one local man is getting ready to play in it.

Former Waimea Old Boys and Tasman Makos midfielder Junior Sifa was last week selected in the US Eagles squad to play in the Rugby World Cup and he says he is excited to once again play at Trafalgar Park.

“I think the last time I played there was at a club sevens tournament last year.”

Junior, who qualifies for the Eagles because he was born in American Samoa, grew up in New Zealand and played for the inaugural Tasman Makos team before plying his trade off-shore in Scotland and Ireland.

He was selected for the cup by US coach and former Ireland boss, Eddie O’Sullivan. Junior says the squad is excited about the tournament but for him the highlight will

be the Nelson game. “[Girlfriend] Vicki and her family are in Nelson so they have given me a lot of support and I am hoping we will get more cheers than the Italians even though they are based there.”

Junior played club rugby for Waimea Old Boys and to celebrate that link Richmond has organised several American-themed parties and events, including a parade down Queen St, block party in Sundial Square and boot party at the A&P Showgrounds in the hours before the Italy v USA game on September 27.

Junior says hearing of people getting behind the team will further boost his side ahead of the crucial game. He says he isn’t sure how many of his friends and family will be at the game cheering him on but “the more the better”.

Junior joins other locals involved in the cup; Ben Franks, Khan Fotualii and Sakaria Taulafo.

Sports In BrIef FOOTBALL: Former Richmond Athletic and Waimea College left back Jordan Swaney could find himself at the London Olympics if a New Zealand Under-23 trial is succesful in Taupo this week. The 20 year-old currently plays for Mosgiel AFC in Dunedin and was a key member of the Canterbury United ASB Premiership side.

BASKETBALL: Waimea College Senior A girl’s basketball reached the top five in New Zealand after a stellar performance at the New Zealand Secondary School Basketball Championship in Palmerston North last week. Waimea defeated Buller 77-51 in the fifth/sixth playoff, following its 76-68 defeat to Hamilton Girls’ High School in the quarter finals.

Shannon Perrett was named in the tournament team.

FOOTBALL: Richmond Athletic have been officially crowned Nelson Pine Industries first division champions after a 7-2 drubbing of FC Nelson United on Saturday. Wesley Olea was the star of the show netting five goals in the rout, despite the game sitting level 1-1 at half time.

Richmond president Stu Reid confirmed last week that the club will not be accepting the prize of a shot at Robbie’s Premier League promotion due to financial reasons.

HOCKEY: Former Waimea College hockey star Anita Punt has been selected in the women’s Black Sticks’ London Olympics squad for 2012.

HARNESS RACING: Jass rounded off the OTB awards night, collecting all the major awards.

Trainer Robbie Stuart won the Harry Gates Memorial Trophy for trainer of the year, Jass completed the season with two firsts, one second, four thirds and one fourth to be named horse of the year and owner Sue Stuart was awarded owner of the year for the 2010-2011 season.

PRIZEGIVING: Garin College will be holding its sports awards evening this Friday night at the school’s gym. Tickets can be purchased for $8 at the main office. The evening kicks off at 7pm.

Fox hoping to impress despite father’s absence in coach’s box There will still be at least one Slotemaker at Nelson Suburbs next year.

After impressing in small cameos over the past two years, 15 year-old midfielder Fox Slotemaker is confident he can impress without his father John in the coaching box next season. Fox started three games in the center of the midfield for the Robbie’s Premier League runners-up, and while he is sad to see his father depart - likely to be replaced by incoming Nelson Suburbs director of football Joe Green - he says it will be business as usual when the pre-season rolls along. “It will be a bit harder if he’s not there, because he’s obviously played a lot of the younger players for the development, and I’d expect there will be a couple of English guys come in

to the team,” says Fox. John says he will take a “break from the game” and turn his attention to getting his level 3 football coaching licence.

And while Fox couldn’t get more familiar than his father, it won’t be a complete unkown for the youngster having been coached by the former Richmond Athletic captain in the Waimea College first XI this year. The 15th grade rep player is a currently part of a New Zealand football National Training Centre along with team-mates Ross McPhie and Cory Brown. Three NTC’s are held throughout the country for 2013 FIFA Under-17 World Cup hopefuls, players are scored on attributes and ranked accordingly. “We get sent out all the scores. Mine was pretty good I think.”

want to look and feel your best in just 12 weeks and have fun doing it?

Fran-tastic rider one step closer to games Wakefield’s Frances Dick is one step closer to reaching her dream of representing New Zealand at the London Paralympics, although it will be a nervous few months before the squad is announced in March.

Frances competes in dressage and scored above the 60 per cent scoring criteria to gain qualification at the Festival of Dressage in London last month, although the New Zealand governing body will have the final say, as Frances is well aware of.

Frances missed her dream in 2008 despite meeting the qualification score with the selectors only wanting riders ranked within the top five in the world.

But the ball is in their court now, as Frances, who competed in London on a foreign horse, focusses on impressing throughout the rest of the year. “It’s so unkown on what the horse will be like. You might see photos of it, but riding it is quite different,” says Frances. “I got tenth and apparently I was the highest mark on a borrowed horse. The standard has increased and the horses are worth so much more over there, which is a lot harder to compete against.”

CHAMPIONS: The victorious Waimea Old Boys third division side celebrate after their extra time 26-19 win over Marist. Photo: Blair Hall/www.photoaction.co.nz.

Waimea take division three title Brent Stewart

Victory tasted extra sweet for Waimea Old Boys after their extra time 26-19 grand final win over Marist.

The large crowd at Jubilee Park on Saturday afternoon were treated to not only 80 minutes of heart pounding rugby but when the two sides where locked at 19 all at the full-time whistle then protocol forced them to dig deep and face another two 10 minutes halves to determine the winner.

When referee Paul Gur blew the whistle, for what would normally be the end of the game, a quick meeting in the middle of the pitch formed and everybody knew the day wasn’t over.

These men who had just given it their all for 80 minutes were going to have to dig deep and slog it out for another desperate 20 minutes, 10 minutes each way and one way or another the winner was going to be decided.

If the result was still a draw then WOB would have won on count back, however no one in the ground wanted this to happen, to win meant winning on the scoreboard.

After the teams shared possession all over the park and traded blows for the first 6 minutes, WOB again showed the discipline was working when they received a penalty - however this was close to the Marist sideline and the crowd didn’t give star back Josh Rutledge any help - his kick was pulled to the left of the posts.

So at the halfway mark of extra time the scores where still locked at 19 a piece.

It wasn’t until six minutes in to the second spell of extra time that the fresh legs of replacement Waimea winger and hero of the day Jeremy Rickets beat his opposite number and ran up the Waimea sideline to grab a much celebrated try to finally break the deadlock. Then it was

time for the cool head of Josh Rutledge to add the extra two points.

Marist remained hot on attack in the dying minutes and scored a try, with the conversion unsuccessful, gifting Waimea the senior division three championship.

This completes the 2011 season for the ‘Thirsty Thirds’, thanks to all the boys in the team, all the ladies and families behind them at home you now have your men back at home for a few months.

Richmond Mall Summer touch entries now available at Richmond Mall office or by contacting aleisha.hart@ hotmail.com. Registration day will be held on Saturday 17 September in the Richmond Mall. The first round of games commence on Wednesday October 19.

Waimea College netballers book place in nationals With the crème de la crème of college netball on show at the South Island Secondary Schools Tournament at Saxton Stadium and Courts, Waimea College threw out a serious challenge as contenders for a top five finish.

Waimea had the perfect start on the first day with convincing wins over Wakatipu High School 43–27 and Waitaki Girls 40–22.

Ashleigh Laing proved to be a worthy substitute at center, where she linked nicely and got some precision centre passes away to Ella Marwick on the very corner of the third.

Ella displayed a beautiful understanding with her shooters – Megan Thomson, Kelsey Whiting and Jordan Dennehy. Megan was an excellent target under the basket however, she displayed her increased repertoire on the outside of the circle to mix up the offensive charge.

Waimea’s defensive trio constantly applied pressure – wing defence, Emily Jensen celebrated her 16th birthday in style with some great .9 marking, she gained deflections and a couple of well timed intercepts.

Goal defence Jordan Webby played close attention to her opposite while goal keep, Zoe Walker was all class as she swooped on several cross court passes to create the turnover.

Day two saw Waimea account for Lincoln High School 34–29 in their final pool play before meeting last year’s runner up Rangiora High.

The game was tight until Waimea hit their straps to pull out a 39–24 victory.

Coach Faye Eden had done her homework and knew that she had to instil in her team that every goal was vital. Her charges followed her instructions to the letter when they hammered home a 60–17 win over Gore High School.

Waimea’s match up against Columba was one of mammoth proportions, as first Waimea had the upper hand and were on the right side of the ledger at the major break.

Columba wrestled for ascendancy in the third period to be in front by seven. Waimea fought tooth and nail for the final ten minutes, however they came up short 24-26.

The lost meant Waimea could not make the semi finals.

A berth at the New Zealand Secondary Schools Tournament in Napier was still on the line though, and there were two hurdles to surmount.

Waimea were six in arrears at half time against Verdon College, and had narrowed the deficit to two by three quarter time. Knowing there would be no second chance, Waimea dug deep to claw back and take the game 28-27.

It was no easy feat in their final game when Waimea met a determined Marian College, however with a 5th placing in their sights the green team came out on top 31–29.

Kelsey and mid courter Mackenzie Orange battled injury throughout the tournament and displayed great guts and determination to stay on the court.

Emily, Ella and Zoe were selected in the Tournament Team.

The Richmond Mall noise crew tries to drown out the racket of the Manawatu bucket-heads at the Makos final game of the season at Trafalgar Park last Thursday night. The Makos lost the game.

Local people with local knowledge Founded in 1996 by the McKeown family, Trends Kitchens takes pride in bringing quality kitchens and joinery to South Island homes. Unlike franchise owned companies with a limited product range, Trends Kitchens can provide you a custom made kitchen produced by our own certified tradesmen, in our own factory.

As the demand for this style of designer kitchen service spread around the South Island, so have Trends Kitchens showrooms and branches. Not long after we opened a branch in Nelson, we found people were coming all the way from Blenheim to see us. We were happy to create a site to accommodate our Blenheim clients, and our Renwick showroom was born.

Today, you can walk into a Trends Kitchens showroom in Nelson, Blenheim, Cromwell or Christchurch, and meet with a local designer who can offer you a free measure and quote for the perfect kitchen to accompany your new home or renovation.

When you confirm your purchase with Trends Kitchens, you’re eligible for a no obligation interior design consultation from the team at ColourPlus, to compliment your new kitchen.

Ask our friendly staff for details.
