Any port in a storm 🌬️🌧️ ⛈️

Fortunately for our wonderful Stratmore Office Manager Fi (right of pic), there's a special and very safe port - at home with John & Judy (aka Stratmore's MDs, aka my lovely mum and dad) 💕

Like so many, Fi dutifully headed into work this morning and after I made a decision to close the business for the day, she was caught out in the storm, with road closures stopping her from getting home.

Without hesitation, mum and dad opened their home and their hearts to any and all who needed a safe haven. And from what I can gather, they're having a delightful old time together🥰

I love that in times of adversity and unpredictability, wonderful, wholesome moments occur, when we can put aside the worries for a little while and spend quality time with those who mean so much to us.

I know Fi will be worried - and I also know she'll be extremely grateful for the port in the storm.

To everyone across the Motu who is affected, we send our love and support. Take care of one another and be safe 🙏

🌟 Reflecting on 2025, I’m astounded at what we've achieved at Stratmore Stratmore Construction Solutions: Nelson branch

This was my first year in the hot seat as GM. When I took the reins I had high hopes for the year head, yet I was cautious; as I knew our industry sector wasn't in the best shape and we would inevitably hit obstacles and challenges and we'd have to dig deep. Little did I know just what lay ahead.

We kicked off focusing on building internal foundations and strong, resilient systems, processes and most importantly, a united team. We immersed ourselves in four events including the Hutt Manufacturing Expo in May, hosting our own industry event in September; welcoming our international guest speaker Juan Pablo Covarrubias and sparking conversations that will shape the future of our sector. Then the inspirational Concrete NZ Conference in October and finishing with with an unforgettable bang, being inducted into the Business Hall of Fame at the 2degrees Regional Business Awards in November 🏆

I was honoured to be elected as Board Member to the Hutt Valley Chamber of Commerce which has been a highlight for me personally. I joined together with the most incredible Catherine Lye at Advancing Manufacturing Aotearoa, becoming a regional lead for AMA. We commenced a wonderful new partnership with Synthesis Marketing and can't wait to show off our refined new brand offering going into 2026. And finally, a sincere and special thanks to Mark Skelly. You my friend, are simply beyond 🥰

On top of all this incredible stuff, our entire team also completed the The Lean Hub Certificate in Operational Excellence - a powerful achievement and one which has supported us to sharpen our processes, unlock new potential and create an environment where we can thrive and drive the business to continued future success. Trevor Hall, Theresa Grainger, Colin Fergus and Steffan Kelly... you guys are simply oustanding 💯 🤩

We forged new business partnerships, domestically and internationally, we celebrated milestone work anniversaries, we took our team to beautiful Nelson for a day of fun and frivolity, our sales guys refined strategies and agreed on new paths and focus areas... and we are finishing the year with a record number of pre-Christmas order fulfillments. What a bloody blast it's been!

What truly stands out for me has been watching our team flourish, together as ONE. It warms my heart beyond any event or award, and I my cup overflows with pride and gratitude, for a year that has been nothing short of remarkable!

We finished our year throwing axes (not at each other 🤣) which was just what the doctor ordered🪓😄

The future looks bright as we head into 2026 and the opportunities feel limitless✨ It's safe to say, if my team will have me, I'll be back to embrace another year at Stratmore😁

From all of us at Stratmore, thank you for being a part of our journey. We wish you a wonderful, safe, and very Meri Kirimihete 🎄

Celebrating another Milestone Stratmore🤩

On Friday, our Stratmore team proudly achieved our Advanced Certificate in Lean and Operational Excellence; marking the completion of an intensive and transformative 18-month work-based programme; delivered by the phenomenal team at The Lean Hub - Home of the Productivity Excellence Academy.

The real celebration lies in the change this journey has sparked at Stratmore.

Over the past 18 months, LEAN thinking has become woven into the fabric of who we are and how we operate - driving clearer and more engaged communication, stronger collaboration, smarter problem-solving and one of the highlights - a more energised, engaged workplace culture. We’re delivering smoother processes, better outcomes and creating an environment where innovation and accountability thrive 💯

This accomplishment is so much more than a certificate - it represents a shift in mindset and a collective commitment to continuous improvement - doing things BETTER, every single day. It strengthens our dedication to quality, efficiency and delivering exceptional experiences for our people and our customers.

We’re proud, we’re inspired and we’re just getting started💪

A huge shoutout to the extraordinary Trevor Hall (Managing Director Lean Hub), Colin Fergus (Programme Facilitator) and Theresa Grainger (GM Lean Hub).

I count myself very fortunate when I get an extraordinary opportunity to celebrate something or someone very special - and this was one of those nights. My heart is overflowing with gratitude and love for this special man - the man I get to call 'Dad' 💙

What an absolute honour it was to take the stage in front of our Regional Business whanau and accept our induction into the Business Hall of Fame Award on your behalf.

71 years of entrepreneurial passion, energy and brilliance, culminating in this remarkable recognition. You have shown us that unwavering mahi and being honest and genuine is the key to true business success.

We are here because of you Dad - we salute you! 👏

Who said a concrete conference couldn’t be fun? 🏗️🎉 😁

My first time attending the Concrete NZ Conference was an absolute blast. The perfect mix of learning, inspiration and meeting some seriously clever (and genuinely good) people from across our industry 👍

The theme this year? Decarbonisation. Concrete might be the world’s most used material after water, but it’s also central to building a lower-carbon future here in Aotearoa.

Highlights for me included Clare Tubolets (SmartCrete CRC), driving innovation across Australia and Dr Andrew Minson (GCCA), sharing a global perspective on how our industry is tackling decarbonisation head-on.

I'm also inspired by Concrete NZ’s Roadmap to 2050 - aiming for a net-zero carbon concrete industry, including a 44% emissions cut by 2030. Ambitious? Absolutely. Achievable? With the people in our industry, I’d say yes! ✅

Beyond the sessions and insights, what really stood out was the real sense of community. Passionate, curious, forward-thinking people who also know how to have a laugh along the way. We all left feeling energised, proud and reminded that our industry isn’t just solid… it’s seriously inspiring. 💪🧱

Craig Meiklejohn and Rob Willems ... I'm excited to do it all again with you both next year in our own back yard 👊

Last week we had the pleasure of hosting the 'Future of Roading and Pavement Solutions in New Zealand' industry event, right here in Lower Hutt.

Our wonderful guest speaker, Juan Pablo Covarrubias was here all the way from Chile, to talk about his role at TCPavements and their work in building concrete roads and pavements all over the world; using the OptiPave System with Forta synthetic fibres.

For many of us in the room, with little to no knowledge of roading construction, Juan was very relatable and made the presentation surprisingly easy to understand - we were all fascinated by the many benefits of concrete roading and paving. New innovations, world-class software and incredibly talented people looking outside the box to show us concrete is a truly viable option for roading.

Roading designed and constructed with the TCPavements OptiPave System technology are thinner compared to traditional designs, for similar loads and traffic. This means more bang for your buck, lower initial costs and a raft of other long term benefits over traditional asphalt including:

💰 A vastly lower Life-Cycle Cost
✅ Much longer lasting than asphalt
⚡ Lower heat island effect, which reduces energy consumption
🚗 Reduces cost and congestion caused by maintenance
🔦 Less energy consumption for illumination (30%)

Governments across the world are embracing building roads in concrete and at Stratmore we believe now is the time for Aotearoa New Zealand to jump on board and look at how we can do our roading better. On the back of our event, we already have some very exciting conversations with industry leaders in play - watch this space 👁️‍🗨️

We're incredibly excited to bring this new technology to Aotearoa and lead the charge to create better roads for all kiwis. Just imagine - no more potholes!!! 🎶 👂

Thank you as always Patrick McKibbin, Hutt Valley Chamber of Commerce and Concrete NZ - your support and contribution is always very much appreciated. And the Lower Hutt Events Centre, for providing a perfect venue, truly delightful food and top notch customer service.

If you're curious to know more about concrete roading and the OptiPave System; and to be kept in the loop with upcoming events; please send me a direct message.
