Shoutout to Sterling Heights Rigging and Scaffolding 🙌

A massive mihi to the amazing local team at Sterling Heights, based in Te Teko/Kawerau, for stepping up and supporting one of our rangatahi with an industry taster! 🏗️ Your dedication, time, resources, patience, and skill—essentially coming out of your own pocket—mean the world to us. Your willingness to give our young people a glimpse into the world of scaffolding and rigging is truly inspiring. Opportunities like this spark passion and help guide our rangatahi toward future careers. 🔥
Another big mihi to our whānau for chipping in with old work boots so our rangatahi didn't miss out on this chance. It truly takes a village, and you've shown how community support can overcome barriers when no other options are opening up. 👢💛

Big shoutout also to our local businesses Sterling Heights, Allthesands Coffee, and many others who generously offer their time, staff, and expertise to help our rangatahi thrive. 🛠️ Every effort brings us closer to a thriving, skilled community. Let’s continue to uplift our young ones and open doors for them! 🌱💪

Wow, what an incredible session at our Māori and Pasifika Forum! 🌟

A huge mihi to everyone who attended—I'm sure we all walked away with lifted spirits and elevated vibrations. The intimate setting allowed for real, honest connections, and genuine discussions about the highs, lows, and everything in between on our business journeys.
A special shoutout to Raniera Rewiri, owner of the Planting Seeds Podcast and the uplifting Te Ara Hou wānanga. In just 10 minutes, Raniera shifted the energy of the entire room, sparking vibrant kōrero around business, mindset, goals, and life. 💡

Maybe one of our local pahiki will feature in a future podcast 👀😊
