By Rt Hon John Key Prime Minister

Five years on Exit planning

Kevin Vincent is managing director of Vincent Consulting Limited wwwvincentconsultingconz

New Zealand is in good shape and Canterbury has a lot to look forward to in what will be another busy year ahead In 2015 we saw all elements of the rebuild gather momentum across the region ndash so much so that residential earthquake repairs are now almost complete Though the rebuild has had its challenges what has been achieved has been remarkable

Each and every time I return to Christchurch Irsquom heartened by the progress I see across the city and the region This is a tribute to the people and communities of Canterbury

Over the course of the past year Irsquove been privileged to open the new Christchurch tram extension attended the opening ceremony and first match of the ICC Cricket World Cup opened Breakfree Hotel unveiled a plaque at the newly opened Rydges Hotel and turned the sod on the Canterbury Earthquake Memorial

The $300 million Justice and Emergency Services Precinct is on track to be completed later this year and construction of the $800 million East and North Frame Residential Precinct will begin soon

Progress on a number of other projects will also continue at pace this year The Retail Precinct the Innovation Precinct and the rest of the Avon River Precinct are now well underway and design work has also started on the Metro Sports Facility

Next month we will mark the fifth anniversary of the February 2011 earthquake This provides us the opportunity to reflect how far wersquove come in rebuilding the city Since the first earthquake in 2010 wersquove stood by the people of Canterbury and we continue to back the recovery and rebuild ndash with the Governmentrsquos investment now reaching $165 billion

There is of course still much to be done The Government has played a huge role in the rebuild and we remain committed to supporting that but the time has come to begin stepping back and allowing local leadership to take more control

The Greater Christchurch Regeneration Bill which will come into force in April this year will ensure the regeneration of the region with a clear focus on the future

The city and its people have made incredible progress over the past five years I am proud of what has been achieved and am excited at what is to come next While there are still challenges ahead recent surveys have also shown that more people are feeling positive about their lives and the direction the city is heading in

Itrsquos important for New Zealand that Christchurch ndash as our second largest city and gateway to the South Island ndash succeeds and thrives

When it comes to exit planning the goal in most cases is to maximise the financial returns to the business owner however in cases of family succession this may be secondary Exit planning refers to the process of helping the business owner(s) leave or exit the business and ensures that a successful transition of ownership will transpire in a timely efficient and effective manner

Two types of plans need to be prepared in order for a business owner to successfully leave or exit the business

Personal goals The personal goals of the business owner(s) must be taken into account and plans must be made to ensure that ldquolife after transitionrdquo goes smoothly Personal financial planning and tax planning will need to be considered to ensure the maximum net proceeds and transfer of wealth

Business goals The business value of the enterprise needs to be maximised prior to the transition This will ensure the business owner(s) receive the maximum return on their investment Plans must be put in place to transfer the management roles and responsibilities that were previously performed by the owner(s) commonly called management succession

If a management succession plan is considered at least 12 to 36 months prior to selling then it is likely that internal structures will lower the risk of failure of a new business owner This will ultimately increase the value of the business

Why prepare an exit planNo matter how much you enjoy working in your business inevitably there will come a time when you will need to retire or sell your business

Most business owners are only concerned with selling their business to a third party Therefore the primary driver for preparing an exit plan is to maximise the value of the business in this sales process

To ensure you get the best price for your business if you decide to sell you need to start planning for such a sale well in advance You also need to consider the issues that could cause you problems

Most business owners feel their business is worth more than is justified by the marketplace Most business ownersrsquo books and records may fail to reflect the true worth of the business Most business owners have backdated compliance and financial statements

Most business owners have never reviewed their business from an ldquoattractiveness to a buyerrdquo perspective so there are fundamental problems that will drag the value down

In my last editorial I wrote about the key elements of building a high performance culture

Learning and development was a key discussion point and upon reflection Irsquove reaffirmed with myself the importance it plays with staff engagement

The reasons why an employee leaves an organisation be it a poor relationship with their supervisor or manager lack of career direction inadequate challenge in their position and for higher pay - all have direct ties to learning and development Why you might sayhellip well here is my view

It is all about making staff feel valued They will feel valued if you care care about their professional development and career path Ultimately the more someone excels professionally the better lives they will lead We all want to live better lives right

And donrsquot under estimate the fulfilment you get as the leader in seeing your staff grow and develop Fulfilment comes intrinsically in making a difference in someone elsersquos life and this can be done by engaging staff and a better understanding of their real career drivers their strengths and weaknesses where they want to take their career and so forth

By simply turning this into a conversation and subsequently a formal career development plan you can then partner with your employee to improve their skills

This can be done via a range of methods Internal and external training coaching mentoring leadership development on the job experience empowerment and delegation and various other means to enable a staff member to grow their skills

At Stellar we have used all of the above during the years What has proven most successful is ensuring a variety of learning styles are considered using a mixture of situational learning graphics and pictures round table discussions on the job experiencelearning Internet-based videos reading material and tests and leading by example as well as specialist external training forums - as long as itrsquos specific to the needs of the employee

What do you get in return I would say definitely improved engagement your employee sees you adding value to them by learning new skills and taking on new challenges (both building confidence) and they will see an improved career path

Secondly you have staff who then can be promoted from within allowing them to increase their earning potential pay There are endless examples of how effective this can be verses the unknown of hiring someone externally

But most importantly they simply value that you care creating an emotional attachment to you as their supervisor or manager

The importance of learning and development

Martz Witty head of the Martz Group aligning chartered accountancy with the creativity of business development wwwmartzconz

An organisation cannot reach its potential if different parts are pulling in different directions A few years ago I left a professional partnership for this very reason and saw the same trait again in a national not-for-profit

Organisations as a whole need to understand where they are heading what theyre attempting to do and achieve short and long term

Similarly everyone should be aware of what the organisation holds to be important in how it operates ndash that there is an over-arching purpose and some rules to work by

But within an organisation there may be divisions branches teams ndash each with their own objectives and roles It is easy for these small groups (and that can be an individual) to be focused on their role or process with no thought to how that role contributes towards goals of the business

Consequently actions may be taken by one team which help achieve their own objectives but that are detrimental to other teams and therefore to the organisation as a whole

A challenge for management is to ensure each subset of the organisation is aware not only of its own objectives but is also aware of and encouraged to support the objectives of other teams it influences

By retaining a comprehension and consideration of the bigger picture internal elements of the organisation end up working cohesively to help the business perform its function more efficiently

This is achieved through repeated communication Cohesiveness and efficiency is promoted through communication of mutually consistent objectives and can be aided by properly targeted incentives

One area that can cause strife and inefficiency is poor role setting A company must be clear on the actions and processes that are critical to producing its desired output ndash and that output includes customer experience

These actions and processes must be assigned to specific teams and individuals who need to be held accountable for their implementation Determine what can be easily measured that provides confirmation that these critical processes are being performed satisfactorily Measure record review and provide feedback

Then work through all other necessary actions in the organisation and assign those tasks also Each person has a role and they are encouraged to perform that role efficiently in a way consistent with company rules of behaviour and objectivestargets that contribute to company goals

I guess this is whatrsquos really meant by getting ldquoall your ducks in a rowrdquo ndash have everyone working in the same direction

Recent research shows that as the global economy is becoming more intertwined diversifying a share portfolio across different sectors may be more important than diversifying across countriesWe talk a lot about the importance of diversifying a share portfolio across different geographies and with good reason An event or series of events can affect one country and not others What gets less airtime but just as important is sector diversification

A working paper by Morningstar Investment Management published late last year found that the sector a company operates in plays a much bigger role in determining its growth than where it happens to be listed In essence sector is more important than location

This suggests investors need to look beyond geographic diversification when constructing share portfolios and ensure they also have a prudent spread across different industries

The traditional reason to invest across a range of markets is to gain access to different drivers of growth and to spread risk Morningstar believes the benefit of geographic diversification is being diluted because major companies which are the ones most investors hold in their portfolios are becoming increasingly global

Morningstar studied 46 countries and instead of looking at total returns to assess the influence of sector versus country as previous studies have done they went one step further and looked at how these factors impacted earnings and dividend growth They took the view that what ultimately determines the value of a company and its performance is the earnings and dividend growth it generates

They found that industry has much more influence over a companyrsquos growth than its location This is more pronounced in developed markets where geographic diversification offers less benefit than in emerging markets

According to their research regional diversification has no discernable influence over the different earnings and dividend growth rates of companies across developed markets but industry explains more than 50 percent of this variability in growth Without delving too far into Morningstarrsquos rather complex regression analysis their research has a clear message for investors sector diversification matters

Eight ways to handle the holiday slowdown

It never fails to amaze me how entrepreneurs can cope with high volume sales and production periods but some get a little freaked when business slows down as can happen over the holidays

Wersquove had a rash of people asking us what they should do over the holidays to keep themselves sane and on the right track So here are a few of the suggestions

1 Get ready for the tax year Riveting huh Well maybe not but it will save you a ton in accountancy fees and also have you ready at the front of the line to get those annuals done and dusted and the tax position planned for the ensuing year Well prepared records means a reduction in time spent which spells savings to you

2 Communicate with your clients and customers more in the slow period to remain top of mind for when business speeds up Send holiday cards and dream up some holiday based special offers for customers

3 Declutter at work Take the time to do the filing cull old records throw out those records you can (usually over seven years old)

4 Take a break yourself Have a long weekend or longer enjoy a change of scenery visit family or friends do some industrial research on your competitors Just chill a bit

5 Study Find something that interests you or will help your business and go do some study Stimulate the brain expand your horizonshellip check out other options

6 Declutter at home Getting rid of things that you will do as soon as ldquoyou get around to itrdquo will clear your mind for bigger better and more fun things Itrsquos amazing what a drag these simple chores can be when you leave them undone

7 Shop Maybe for yourself but really we were thinking about things for the business Take the time to research plant and equipment you need source some training and courses

8 Visit family and friends When yoursquore busy you possibly donrsquot give these integral people enough time Drop in and say hi keep home fires burning keep friendships and relationships alive

Most importantly keep yourself in a positive mental frame of mind Negativity is like rust so keep it well at bay

If cash is your biggest stress then consult your business advisor knock up some current projections and approach your bank (with your accountant) with a view to a temporary loan facility Itrsquos best to be proactive in these things and not leave it to chance

Just checking ndash but you are thanking people arenrsquot youYou should be taking every opportunity to engage with your website visitors but one opportunity that is very commonly overlooked is the lsquothank yoursquo message when someone has made a purchase completed a form or subscribed to your newsletter

Most websites have a standard message saying something similar to lsquoThank you for your enquiry We will be in touch with you as soon as possiblersquo and thatrsquos it

While this is a nice polite (if not dull) message it has effectively ended the engagement with your website visitor There is so much more you could do to continue the interaction

Ideas for your lsquothank yoursquo page

Set expectations Clearly set expectations as to what is the next step and give exact timeframes as to when you will be in touch rather than just saying lsquoas soon as possiblersquo Make sure though that if you are saying you will be in touch within 24 hours or the product that has been purchased will be shipped in 48 hours that you keep to these timeframes There is nothing worse than having an expectation set only to be disappointed when the timeframes have not been met

Add contact details Yes your contact information is on your contact page (or it should be) but make it easy on the user by adding them again in case they have an immediate enquiry

Calls to action This is where you encourage further action so if someone has sent you an enquiry you could use the thank you page to ask them to subscribe to your newsletter or visit your Facebook page You might want to ask them to leave feedback on their experience so create a feedback form and link to it on the thank you page

Social media If you are active on social media then include the relevant icon links Having your website visitors following and interacting with you on other channels aside from your website is great for brand awareness and promotion

Building trust Why not add a testimonial to this page It reinforces your trust and credibility Alternatively direct them to your testimonials page if you have one so they can continue to interact with your website Including links to your blog posts videos or whitepapers you may have written will further enhance your brand credibility

Design You can be creative with the design of this page It can look totally different to your other pages but not so different of course that there is a brand disconnect when landing on this page

Simple ways to say thanks

What we can learn about workplace design

At a Human Factors and Ergonomics conference in Melbourne earlier this year I attended a talk about developing the new learning environment and the importance ergonomics plays in this process

The attention to getting the learning space design right for school children really interests me After all it makes sense that school is a place where we help our children discover how they learn and work best and where we aim to set them up for life

Here in New Zealand the Ministry of Education has this approach clearly on its radar and has made the comment that its ldquoextensive research proved that students learnt best when they are Actively involved in decision making initiating learning collaborating together and making connections within and across learning spacesrdquo

Wouldnrsquot most of us like to be doing this in the workplace too

There seems to me a correlation between classroom and workspace design Traditionally schools and office blocks have both comprised of box shaped rooms leading off a main central corridor

In more recent times in an effort to nurture a more collaborative environment many offices have evolved into the lsquoopen plan workspacersquo however with lack of privacy and multiple distractions often being cited as problematic this style of working is not for everyone and this is where the business world could perhaps learn something

Schools are now leaning towards multi-option spaces designed to allow for large or small group work with places for teachers to work individually with children

Encouragingly I am starting to see this approach in new office designs now some open plan some small individual office space when people need somewhere quiet to focus for one-on-one interviews or phone calls larger spaces for meetings and just like schools the even bigger space for audio visual presentations or training or social events

It might seem obvious but again research by the Ministry of Education has shown that while good spaces enable they do not guarantee good educational outcomes But poor spaces will definitely impact on educational outcomes In the same way workspace design can definitely affect productivity as well as the health of the people working there with an impact on the bottom line of the business

Take a look around your premises ndash is there room for improvement and if so where might you start When it comes to workspace improvement a little change can make a big difference And if nothing else like a student starting an essay just think about it and hopefully the rest will come

More than 51 of searches on the internet are now done on mobile devices If your website isnrsquot mobile-responsive Google wonrsquot show your website on any device therefore you are potentially missing out on 51 of your market finding your business

1 Rent-a-Chookwwwrentachookcomau

Ever wanted a pet chicken but couldnrsquot quite commit Just rent one then You can rent one from Rent-a-Chook and if you decide you like it you can keep it They sell hens chicken feed coops and anything else a hen might need to survive in your back garden and have been doing so since 2001

The idea is to encourage people to have environmentally sustainable pets so Rent-a-Chook started a try-before-you-buy type business model The business even won a Green Award in 2009

2 Pet Rockwwwpetrockcom

If a chicken is too much for you to handle you could just buy a Pet Rock This business venture goes all the way back to 1975 when founder Gary Dahl joked about owning a pet rock while having a drink with some friends in a bar

The joke soon turned into reality when he recruited two colleagues as investors and started selling smooth rocks all packaged up in their own cardboard carry case (with air holes) complete with a care manual He reportedly made US$15 million

3 Square watermelonsLess a stand-alone business more a widespread craze square watermelons are what happens when good old mother nature asks us to stack round fruits on top of one another without the whole thing coming crashing down A Japanese farmer found a solution some 30 years ago to that problem and here we have the square watermelon

They are created by placing the fruit in a square box while still small and on the vine as it grows it takes the form of the box and et voilagrave Japan has been exporting the fruits all across the world with one USA Today report stating that they were fetching up to US$860 each in Russia in 2013

4 Bed bug Barrierswwwbedbugbarriercomau

If the name doesnrsquot already tell you this businessrsquo sole purpose in life is to defend your precious bed against nasty bugs They have a range of products that are designed to create a three-step process kill prevent protect

Using eco-friendly bug-killing products you can get rid of pests and then use the DIY accessories that attach to the legs of your bed to stop the bugs getting in again (should they come back) It might sound crazy but itrsquos actually quite a neat idea if you need a pest control solution for your home or hotel

5 Grumpy Catwwwgrumpycatscom

Not your typical business venture but the internet sensation that is Grumpy Cat has put online animal fames on the map From one picture posted to Redditcom of her frowning pose in 2012 the cat Tardar Sauce has become the face of all things crabby

She has a book a website an abundance of merchandise and even starred in her own movie Grumpy Catrsquos Worst Christmas Ever A report by a British newspaper claimed the cat had earned over US$100m but that was later denied by the owner

In January 2013 UK enterprise website realbusinesscouk wrote an article about crazy business ideas that actually worked Rated number one on their list was the notorious dating website Ashley Madison ndash you know the site that was recently hacked and had its membersrsquo details wiped across the internet

Well what was once considered a ldquocrazy ideardquo is now known worldwidehellip perhaps not for the best reasons but the concept still took off So maybe donrsquot bin that wild business concept yoursquove been sitting on just yet

Here are a few other examples that prove how successful lsquocrazyrsquo can be sometimes

crazy concepts that worked 6

6 YouTubewwwyoutubecom

YouTube has become the king of online video since it started in 2005 But not only has it made its original founders and current owners Google very rich it has also made its content creators pretty well off too

The site contains channels which people have created to showcase talk about whatever they feel like and many have collected a following large enough to create a full time job out of

One example would be user PewDiePie or Felix Kjellberg a Swedish guy known for his loud video game reviews and colourful use of language According to Forbes he reportedly earned US$74m last year alone and has over 389 million subscribers on his channel That is a lot of cash and a lot of viewers

The relationship between technology and business is of course ubiquitous

Hi-tech tools By Christelle Savry

Here at Irontech we recently completed the design and development of a web-based production system for CNC machine control The solution brings state of the art Software as a Service (SaaS) architecture to the heart of day to day manufacturing operations and showcases the technologyrsquos multiple benefits

Our customerrsquos vision was to develop a modern system where production data would flow seamlessly between the various manufacturing entities allowing the companyrsquos workforce to focus on core high value tasks

As is often the case in this conservative sector the ultimate goals were to improve productivity and quality while reducing wastage In this case the business owner also wanted to design a solution that would be generic enough to be licensed to other manufacturers

With this in mind the team at Irontech identified that a custom SaaS solution was most appropriate to meet the various requirements and delivered a web-based portal hosted in the Microsoft Azure cloud The design also allows for intermittent offline scenarios with automatic data resynchronisation

An integral part of the production process the bespoke portal allows end customer project components to be assigned to individual CNC machines located on the various sites around the country Various factors such as delivery location and current machine load are used to determine optimal workload distribution for the best productivity outcome

Using Restful Web API technology the CNC machines connect to the web portal to retrieve and push production data in real time This cutting edge software has successfully turned a labour intensive system into a fully automated highly efficient process contributing to a higher productivity and a reduced rate of human error

The portal allows other companies to register and manage their own production data completely independently Secure communication with third party software applications is performed using a documented platform-independent web API Companies can therefore design their own interface tailored to their environments and equipment A decentralised directory service can also be provided to allow for single log-in

Like cloud computing the line-of-business SaaS model reduces the total cost of ownership of software by way of economy of scale It optimises the usage of the underlying resources ndash think hardware and services ndash to allow small companies to access high tech solutions at a fraction of the cost of a traditional equivalent lsquoon-premisesrsquo software

In essence the SaaS adds value to the day to day operation of customers factories and the licensing revenue helps recoup the development cost of the system It even generates its own income stream making such an investment highly attractive

Christelle Savry is director and solutions architect at Iron Technology Solutions

Working from home is a very attractive option for many people It offers great flexibility and a work-life balance that we all dream of And as more people seek a better balanced lifestyle an increasing number of professionals are turning this dream into a reality

You may be chasing this goal yourself Either by establishing your own start-up company from the comfort of your home or your current employer might have offered you the opportunity to retire from the office cubicle and relocate to home

But before you pack up your desk and sing sayonara to your work colleagues there are a few factors to take into consideration

While yes there are many benefits of working from home there are some pitfalls to be aware of It is a good idea to weigh up both the negatives and the positives before you throw an office leaving party

ADVANTAGES FlexibilityWorking from home opens up a world of possibilities Having the freedom to choose your own work hours is one of the most notable changes but there are many other elements that yoursquoll have control over For example working from home gives you the freedom and flexibility over your work environment which encompasses the temperature lightening sound such as the choice to play music or not and your overall comfort and atmosphere Whatever mood makes you the happiest and most productive you can create

FocusWorking from home cuts out all of the typical workplace distractions and disturbances yoursquoll no longer encounter annoying interruptions unimportant meetings or distractions from co-workers So it is easy to focus in a calm quiet environment

Substantial savingsThere are many hidden costs associated with working in a traditional office environment from the cost of fuel used while driving back and forth to work parking charges the temptation to buy

expensive lunches and pricey work wardrobes if you are required to dress professionally And of course if you have children there is the cost of childcare But by working from home all of these expenses are literally gone and yoursquore bound to notice a welcome saving

Higher work output Removed from the distractions and stresses of the workplace people often feel a lot happier and as a result work more efficiently and at the end of the day are more productive

DISADVANTAGES Loneliness One of the main disadvantages of working from home that isnrsquot often anticipated is the isolation experienced working alone People often miss the hive of social interaction at the workplace For many people it is their primary environment to meet people and make friends And as a consequence professionals working from home often feel disconnected isolated and depressed

ForgottenBy not physically showing your face in the office on a daily bases you can find yourself

being overlooked and forgotten You may be left out of important company decisions and changes or worse in danger of being overlooked for promotion in favour of staff who are more visibly fighting for the position

Interruptions

Although yoursquove eliminated office distractions a whole new raft of distractions arise from working at home - and they can often be worse Home interruptions can include children friends pets neighbours or the temptation to get chores around the house done To avoid these distractions you need to set clear work hours and let your family and friends know you are unavailable during this time

Work doesnrsquot end

If you fail to create a clear separation between your work and home life you can be at risk of working endlessly Because there is no one enforcing a strict nine to five work day people who work from home often find themselves working longer hours This may be triggered by pressures to prove themselves and their abilities in this arrangement

News |emspWorking life

One of the biggest problems with attempting to change an organisationrsquos culture is that culture is not something you can see feel and touch This doesnrsquot mean itrsquos not real Itrsquos very real ndash particularly in the way it influences our daily lives

Culture is all about behavioural norms expectations placed upon us by the system within which we function

At the societal level we constantly behave according to such behavioural norms When we meet people for the first time we shake their hands But why do we do this Itrsquos because itrsquos lsquowhat we dorsquo ndash itrsquos expected of us

Why do we shake hands and not bump feet or rub elbows We have lsquolearnedrsquo to do it As children we see our parents do it and over time it becomes a cultural normrsquo

Similarly in organisations there are certain lsquoways of doing thingsrsquo In some organisations people have learned that they should simply

Swimming against the tide

Balancing acts | The pros and cons of working from homeBy Laura Baker

keep themselves out of trouble In others they have learned to make sure they never make a mistake In some they have learned that honesty can be career limiting and in others they have learned that itrsquos really a competition to be seen and noticed

After 50 years of research into the factors that influence organisational performance there are very few today who would not rank organisational culture as critical to business success

Customers experience an organisationrsquos culture when they communicate or interface with that organisation Staff experience it every day Friends and partners of staff hear about it in the stories that people tell about their work

Organisational culture is the single biggest reason improvement initiatives fail If an organisationrsquos culture has lsquotaughtrsquo people to simply lsquodo their jobrsquo or always unquestioningly obey the rules there is simply no way that any improvement (or culture change) programme is going to work without addressing that existing culture

Take someone who works in a job that has minimal autonomy and thus little opportunity to think within a culture that does not

welcome honest upward feedback and then ask people to lsquouse their initiativersquo or lsquobe creativersquo or lsquobe accountablersquo and yoursquore really wasting your time (and money)

An organisationrsquos culture either works for it or against it particularly in times of change and adaptation

Being able to clearly identify what aspects of the culture help and what aspects hinder is vital in being able to address culture change initiatives that actually work

Thirty years of research into organisational culture has led Human Synergistics to identify the cultural norms that help promote effective performance and those which inhibit it

The 12 norms are clustered into three groups While there is much more behind each norm than those descriptions listed below these are suitable lsquoone linersrsquo for each

Norms that represent AggressiveDefensive behaviours

bull Find fault in others

bull Be lsquotoughrsquo and powerfulrsquo

bull Compete rather than cooperate

bull Never ever make a mistake

Norms that represent Constructive behavioursbull Strive for excellencebull Learn and growbull Support one anotherbull Build relationshipsPlease those in positions of authority Norms that represent PassiveDefensive behavioursbull Simply follow the rulesbull Push decisions upwardsbull Avoid blame

Each organisation will have its own combination of these norms The more the Constructive norms prevail the more effective the organisationrsquos performance The more the PassiveDefensive norms prevail the more the organisation functions like a non-responsive bureaucracy and the more AggressiveDefensive norms prevail the organisation operates as a bunch of individuals with the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing

By measuring culture it can be lsquoprofiledrsquo Once profiled it can be lsquoseenrsquo Once seen it moves beyond being an intangible concept to a tangible reality Once lsquorealrsquo it can be changed

MAKING IT HIS WAYBy Terri Cluckie

Alasdair Cassels is an icon in Christchurch or he is around Woolston anyway His distinct looks play a part in that status tall frame dark glasses long white hair and moustache - itrsquos quite a striking presence but a humble and friendly one nonetheless

wwwcanterburytodayconz emsp January 2016 | 15

News |emspCover story

The man himself is probably just as iconic as his business ventures during the past few years specifically his boutique shopping arcade The Tannery and the Cassels amp Sons Brewery which he co-owns with his son Zak and son-in-law Joe Shanks

The Cassels family has contributed a lot to the economy of the city with various businesses sprawled throughout Alasdair co-owns the CBD Bar on Madras St as well as the brewery and shopping centre and has recently been working on a project to clean up the Heathcote River

The river itself is something Alasdair seems to dote on Itrsquos partly why he bought the site that The Tannery sits on way back in 1994

ldquoIt told a story straight away of Christchurch in its early days because Christchurch was really settled on the banks of the Heathcoterdquo Alasdair explains

Read anything about Alasdair in the paper or online and yoursquoll probably hear about the Heathcote and Christchurchrsquos early days He canrsquot help but let his passion for the city show Itrsquos understandable though ndash he seems to have known nothing but success in Christchurch

I first met Alasdair on a drizzly spring morning I had met him in the atrium of The Tannery to talk about the site and the shape of the city in general (who else to talk to about the city but a lover of it) but our conversation drifted more towards another of his passions craft beer

He has been making his own beer at home for years and even taught his children how to do it so of course he has set up his own brewery

The Cassels amp Sons Brewery was officially established in 2009 and started out exactly where it sits now in The Brewery bar of The Tannery It got off to a shaky start with the earthquakes following two years after it opened but that didnrsquot knock their confidence

for long In fact the craft beer industry in New Zealand as a whole is booming right now

According to the ANZ New Zealand Craft Beer Industry Insights 2015 report craft beer sales have increased 42 percent in the last year alone Beer exports to Asia have also doubled in the last two years with the Asian market potential being 750 times the size of New Zealand so it would seem now is the time to export

When we spoke Cassels amp Sons didnrsquot yet have the capacity to export due to hand bottling each beer and predominantly using kegs for draft beer or bottles sold at local markets to sell their product But things are very quickly about to change

The Brewery is situated at the entrance of The Tannery and houses their public bar kitchen and hand-built wood fire kettle which they used to brew their first batch of pilsner (itrsquos one of only two in the world according to Alasdair)

If you take a stroll to the bottom end of The Tannery car park you will come across a second building ndash one of Cassels amp Sonsrsquo bigger breweries - itrsquos here that big changes are about to be made

The brewery has just acquired a bottling plant they imported from Czech Republic It is the biggest bottling machine in the craft beer industry in New Zealand and should be up and running in February

The potential this $1m machine carries for Cassels amp Sons is huge The machine a Moravek 21244 Tribloc has a maximum production rate of 7000 bottles per hour and is capable of bottling over six million litres per year which more than out does the current hand-bottling methods of the brewery

ldquoBeer is easier to make and serve in a bar Once you start bottling it itrsquos got to be really technically made otherwise on the way to

market the flavour goes the bubbles go The more sophisticated the machine is the better chance yoursquove got of getting it to market so exporting and everything else becomes an optionrdquo explains Alasdair

He has hopes of bottling other breweriesrsquo beers too ndash another way of giving back to the community

When I met Alasdair in The Tannery he was sat with two other gentlemen clearly well at home in the Victorian-arcade inspired centre surrounded by his friends

We eventually shifted into the corner of a coffee shop to chat Something I didnrsquot realise at the time but quickly caught on to was just how popular Alasdair is Even later when we were taking pictures in the atrium people continuously made jokes with him tried to have a chat and just generally looked his way

Whether thatrsquos because he literally owns the place or because people have so much respect for him Irsquom not sure but even just spending an hour with him I can understand the pull he has

The Tannery is buzzing with business and visitors Itrsquos a really positive place to be

The centre didnrsquot really come to life until after the earthquakes because as Alasdair tells me for one reason or another before then he had struggled to get planning permission from the city council to do anything with the site It wasnrsquot until after the earthquakes that The Tannery began to transform into what it is today

ldquoIt was an absolute tragedy and all of us were shockedrdquo says Alasdair ldquoBut amongst all that was a sense of excitement There really was a sense of being able to do somethingrdquo

He explains that when the city centre was shut down in the aftermath a lot of boutique family-run businesses needed a new place to settle and The Tannery offered them the perfect spot ldquoIt was safety in numbers so dozens of them came hererdquo

The building itself had to be re-built but it meant that Alasdair was able to turn his dreams for the Woolston community into a reality

ldquoI wanted something that was peaceful and uplifting when you walked into it I wanted to make people feel better about things and also give them a chance to escape from the city or from at that stage the beaten up city

ldquoI wanted to create a fantasy and fairytale place which wasnrsquot as hard as it seemsrdquo

Although it took a few years to really get the centre and the businesses it housed off the ground the $20m project now has 65

happy tenants meaning all leases are under occupation A few more expansions are even in the works with Alice in Videoland building a two-screen cinema at the south end of the atrium with the Metropolitan Lounge going above it (a conference centre art gallery)

The news came late last year that Alasdair was planning on selling 45 percent of his shares for The Tannery in an aim to earn back some of the well-spent money he has dedicated to it

He is planning on channelling the money into other projects around Woolston but he is keeping the details under lock and key for now At this point in time itrsquos early days but Alasdair is confident that his shares will sell pretty easily so he can start making tracks on his next plan

He has big hopes for the city overall not just his little corner of it by the Heathcote river

ldquoIn the 50s and 60s Christchurch was a big capital of the South Island We had head offices bigger government departments and big banks here

ldquoNew Zealand went through an economic reform in the 80s and what happened then was head offices and bigger government departments were taken away from Christchurch and went to Auckland and Wellington so we shrunk and the need for a big city shrunk and we were only left with a few parts of town that really were used properly

ldquoCities like to be compact they like to be dense so they work better when therersquos lots of people and things to do and I think this new plan wersquove got will solve that problemrdquo explains Alasdair

Although the majority of Alasdairrsquos focus remains on the Woolston side of town he does talk a fair bit about the city Itrsquos clear he has big hopes for it Hersquos positive of the outcome and knows Christchurch is headed in the right direction

ldquoThe biggest thing we need in town is patience It might not be for a while but it will develop slowly and it will be a good placerdquo

At the end of our interview Alasdair took me along to the Brewery Bar to proudly show off their wood fire kettle He brought it up a few times during our conversation so hersquos clearly proud of it

And it is impressive It took him and his son-in-law six months to build by hand I guess that took his patience too and it must have been worth the wait I hear a Cassels amp Sons pint is damn good wwwthetanneryconz wwwcasselsbreweryconz

Cassels amp Sonsrsquo new Moravek bottling machine has a maximum production rate of 7000 bottles per hour and is capable of bottling over six million litres per year

Mental health days Why worryThe reality is that we work long and hard to do the job wersquove been assigned to do so achieving that worklife balance concept can seem redundant

Sometimes we simply just need a day off to sort ourselves out mentally in order to prevent burnout remain productive and increase our work performance when we return to the job

We often associate days off work with a physical illness but mental wellbeing is generally overlooked Keeping up with everything in life and work can become too much and our brains turn into mush

While a little worry and concern can focus the mind being overly stressed and unhappy isnrsquot good for your health and it isnrsquot good for those around you either Sometimes we (especially workaholics) find it difficult to give ourselves time off work because

We worry about how it might affect other people in the workplace

bull We think we wonrsquot be able to keep up with the workload when we return

bull We worry wersquore missing out

bull We feel guilty or pressured

bull We need the money

bull Or we think we donrsquot need the time off

But if yoursquore physically and emotionally exhausted suffering from sleepless nights feeling constantly stressed snappy at work and home or generally not caring about your work yoursquore on the road to having a meltdown and potentially committing career suicide

Whatrsquos worse working too hard instead of working smart to the best of your ability yet making mistakes - or taking a day off so you can get back to work re-energised and complete tasks to a high standard

While one day off wonrsquot cast away deep underlying stresses and strains it does allow you to step away from the scene of the crime and grab some much needed headspace

If you donrsquot want to eat into your holiday pay ask your boss to take an unpaid half day or full

History is full of poets philosophers and sages espousing the benefits of a positive disposition But it seems scientists disagreeWhy Because it pays to worry a little bit - quite literally

A study published in the Journal of Behavioural Decision Making in 2012 monitored 213 peoplersquos behaviour in relation to a simulated gambling game The study found participants in a sad or worrisome mood were more likely to make logical bets they knew had a higher likelihood of winning even after a series of losses

Whereas positive happy bettors were quicker and more likely to play what they knew was a riskier move Their jovial outlook influenced them to make unpredictable decisions on gut feelings despite the opportunity to play a logical bet

The study shows you are more likely to make winning decisions while you are in an anxious worried state of mind

But these findings donrsquot just apply to gambling The positive effect of this negative feeling translates into the business world In moderation worry can work wonders for your career

Sometimes a negative attitude is actually beneficial trait to have because it allows you to look at a situation in a more realistic light Feeling worried means you are more likely to make a logical decision with a higher outcome of success compared with your cheerful counterpart in the same situation

There is no danger of over promising and under delivering because you are thinking realistically Worry helps to rein in out of this world ideas it also assists with assessing the risks and obstacles in front of you

Worry can be the side effect of a strong desire to achieve perfection And in the pursuit of perfection worry can prompt you to double check and even triple check your work Without worry there is a risk you can become complacent a little too relaxed and more likely to make a mistake

Under a moderate amount of worry you are capable of learning and remembering new information more effectively This is because the primary stress hormone cortisol improves learning and memory at moderate concentrations compared to low or high concentrations

Worry has also been linked to accelerate career promotions and overall success An international study in Perspectives on Psychological Science in 2007 monitored 118519 peoplersquos careers

The study found those who are less happy attain higher salaries and more education while people who are very happy tend to form more rewarding relationships

People who are more susceptible to worry consequently exhibit the following personality traits

PROSbull More attentive to detailbull More motivated to work bull More polite and attentive to othersbull Vigilant for risks and threats

CONS bull Overcautious bull Less creativebull At risk of becoming too stressedbull More closed minded

In comparison worry-free people exhibit these contrasting behaviours

PROSbull More creativebull Form better relationshipsbull Healthierbull Willing to explore

CONSbull Prone to overlooking threats and dangersbull Open to unwise risks bull More gulliblebull Lacking appropriate embarrassment or guilt

day off And remember you donrsquot have to tell your co-workers that yoursquore taking a mental health day just that you wonrsquot be available

Whether you intend to be busy carrying out chores around the house exercising enjoying some retail therapy or you intend to do the complete opposite and catch up on sleep for the whole day a mental health day is whatever it means to you to be completely free

Just remember to plan ahead by informing your boss and colleagues of your leave in advance so they can work around it This way you wonrsquot need to worry about how your absence may affect others

And make sure when you take your mental health day work stays at work ndash donrsquot bring it home with you Turn your mobile phone off donrsquot check work related emails and certainly donrsquot take home any paperwork Emergencyrsquos only please

At the end of the day your health is important Provide some relief by paying attention to yourself and live a healthier life

Just remember to plan

Health and safety is paramount for operators involved in the use of elevated work platforms

So when it comes time to validating your competency you want to choose the best training course available

Accessman is New Zealandrsquos leading specialised hire company providing scissor lifts cherry pickers knucklebooms and mobile scaffolding Itrsquos now leading the field as an accredited IPAF training provider to complement the existing Silvercard NZQA training it currently offers

The company launched the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) accredited training programme throughout the South Island in November as one of two companies nationwide to do so

The internationally recognised course was developed by leading industry professionals and is aimed at users of elevated work platforms generally in the construction industry and certifies operators in the machines of their choice IPAF training conforms to the international standard ISO 18878 - Mobile Elevating Work Platforms Operator training and ISO 9001 - Quality Management Systems

The Accessman Group general manager Lena Harrington says health and safety is a priority not only within the company but throughout the industry So when Accessman saw the opportunity to provide the renowned IPAF training programme it jumped at the chance

ldquoI think the marketplace needed an alternative qualification IPAFrsquos rigid testing structure ensures that only competent operators are awarded the

qualification which provides employers with peace of mind that their staff have been thoroughly trained ndash they will not pass unless they are competentrdquo

IPAF training was founded in the UK and today has 600 training outlets worldwide which are responsible for qualifying over 100000 people per year IPAF recognised the Accessman Group had the platform required to release the qualification to the New Zealand market in partnership with Total Access in the North Island

To become an accredited training centre a senior IPAF auditor was brought out from the UK to put Accessmanrsquos training staff through the intensive instructorrsquos course

ldquoObviously our staff had to have a significant amount of experience within the industry before they were eligible to become IPAF instructors some of whom are also qualified to train both IPAF and Silvercard NZQA The training venues also had to meet some fairly stringent requirementsrdquo Lena says

The course is comprised of both practical and theory based learning with assessments The classes are kept small to maximise individual learning and the training centres are regularly audited to ensure they meet and adhere to the IPAF standards Training centres also receive regular updates to ensure that attendees are receiving the best training possible Attendees of IPAF training receive a Powered Access Licence (PAL) card The PAL card is valid for five years and is internationally recognised It can also be instantly verified by anyone via an online database which not only includes a photo of the card holder but details of the card

Five reasons to attend an IPAF training programmeThe PAL card is valid for five yearsThe PAL card is internationally recognisedThe card can be instantly verified via an online databaseExpert training by leading industry professionals in small class sizesOn completion participants receive a PAL card log book and an operator handbook

Lena says the PAL card is useful to the large number of contractors from overseas in the city thanks to its international recognition ldquoContractors are coming and going all the time in Christchurch at the moment so it makes sense that they have a qualification that is transferablerdquo In addition all reputable manufacturers of elevated work platforms worldwide are members of IPAF an alignment that strengthens the service the not for profit federation provides

Back in the 1980s I trained for and gained a Private Pilotrsquos Licence (PPL) Although quite a number of years have passed since then I have never forgotten the joy and exhilaration of being in the air watching the world go by below There is an immense feeling of freedom to this recreational activity and every time you fly it is different in some way Other people such as Richie McCaw know the wonder of aviation and it is there for the taking

Take a trial flight at the South Canterbury Aero Club and see if you donrsquot become addicted

The South Canterbury Aero Club offers a superb environment and location for people to learn to fly whatever their reason for doing this may be Perhaps they are looking for a career in aviation or wish only to fly for recreation either way the South Canterbury Aero Club can cater for all needs from new students right through to commercial pilot training and beyond

Proudly Supporting Window Treatments for over 10 Years

As New Zealandrsquos largest independently owned blind shutter awning and insect screen manufacturing and retail company Window Treatments offer products that follow the latest international trends

The company has retail stores and mobile showrooms throughout the country including nine across the South Island

It has an exciting range of new products available for the summer season including exterior awnings that are designed for longevity in harsh coastal environments

Owner Graeme Rose says the Palladio cassetted folding arm awning is a new generation awning ideal for home patios shops and kiosks offering unobstructed passage underneath It is made from aluminium marine-grade stainless steel fittings and fabrics designed for the outdoors

ldquoPalladio is fully cassetted so it protects the fabric when the awning is retractedrdquo he says

ldquoIt can cover everything up to seven metres in width and a projection of up to 36 metres Itrsquos very large and is ideal for creating that indoor-outdoor environment where you want sun or wind protectionrdquo

Other new awnings from Window Treatments include the Italia box radial arm awning which is ideal for both residential and commercial installations and the Terrazza pergola awning

Graeme says another exciting new product is the Securo side roller blind which rolls from side to side rather than up and down like a conventional roller blind

ldquoItrsquos particularly good for ranch sliders where you need some light control and it also doubles as an insect screen The beauty is you can roll it back just enough to get outside while still having your ranch slider open With a conventional roller blind yoursquod have to roll it right up to go through the doorrdquo

Focus | Tekapo Springs

Tekapo Springs is a year-round attraction beloved by visitors from across the globe In early 2015 the resort announced plans to open new multi-million dollar facilities for visitors families and locals to enjoy from late December onwards ndash and itrsquos finally here

New pools take Tekapo Springs to the next level

The new additions include three new pool areas including an aqua playspray area for kids and teens a beach accessed kidsrsquo pool and an adultsrsquo deep water pool

The pools all run at cooler water temperatures of 33 degrees Celsius for the kidsrsquo pool and aqua play area and 28 degrees Celsius for the adultsrsquo pool

Tekapo Springs owner and managing director Karl Burtscher says the aim is to offer a dditional entertaining aquatic options for families children and adults He also says the need to offer a wider temperature range of pool water was important especially during the summer months

Karl explains that the new additions completely open up the resort and create even more

opportunities for guests to gaze upon Lake Tekapo while enjoying the facilities

ldquoYou can now get down to pool level and really appreciate the views from the new adult pool in particular which quite possibly will have the best overall views down Lake Tekapo of any of the pools ndash old and newrdquo

The new pool additions themed lsquoHigh Country Tarnsrsquo each with its own distinctive shade of aqua green ndash were designed to complement the three existing hot pools and are part of Tekapo Springsrsquo long term growth strategy for expanding its aquatic attractions and offering a wider range of water temperatures and features

The new pools will also run through winter depending on outside weather temperatures

Focus | Tekapo Springs

A tight scheduleSince the first sod was turned on September 1 2015 progress was swift and exciting With the new pools taking shape and initial landscaping underway Tekapo Springs staff were thrilled to see dreams become reality

As of November 25 fibre glass spraying and painting of the adultsrsquo pool had been completed with fibre glass spraying commencing on the childrenrsquos cold pool a few days after

Karl says as the pools literally took shape on a daily basis staff could start to get a sense of what they would be delivering to guests

A helping handThe design concept of the pools came from Karl himself and he even completed some of the earth and civil works while co-ordinating the whole project

Although Karl played a major hand in bringing the new additions to life he received a wide slot of help from both local companies and others from around New Zealand

Those involved included H2O Water Systems from Auckland doing the pool plant High Country Carpentry from Fairlie doing all the building and formwork Stephen Styles Block and Brick doing block work Murray Linton Concrete doing concrete laying Reflex Industrial doing fibre glassing and Damon Smith Electrical and Prolec (Professional Electric) from Christchurch doing controls and automation

The perfect spotTekapo Springs is nestled on the shores of stunning Lake Tekapo boasting a unique mix of summer and winter recreation and relaxation

Open 364 days a year the attraction already includes three existing outdoor hot pools a steam and sauna facility an ice rink water slides summer and winter tubing a day spa cafeacute and fully licensed bar

The company has evolved into a year-round ldquomust-dordquo on the bucket list of many visitors to the South Island as well as stamping its mark as an important centrepiece in the Tekapo community

The new pools are a testament to the companyrsquos drive to grow and develop while continuously exceeding customer expectations The three new pools help step-up Tekapo Springsrsquo summer offering and put it among one of the countryrsquos leading tourism operators CT

Finance | Hamilton Hindin Greene

Christchurch businesses are all too familiar with the struggles and obstacles that come with upheaving an office and moving to a new location One local business that understands the struggle all too well is Hamilton Hindin Greene

The investment advisory firm has endured a turbulent and unsettled time since the February 2011 earthquake It has almost consistently been on the move from one premise to the next moving offices five times in the last five years

CEO Ian Perry explains that one day before the earthquake Hamilton Hindin Greene shifted from its office on Hereford Street in the old National Bank building where it had been based for 30 years to the BDO building on Victoria Street When the February quake struck it had just over a day to move everything out of the damaged building but luckily no one was hurt Ian says

In the following chaos it moved to a space above the Dinghyrsquos amp Outboards warehouse on Lincoln Road ldquothen that got knocked downrdquo In 2012 it shifted into a brand new building on Manchester Street called Westende House

ldquoIt was 140 percent up to code and we thought it was going to be our permanent location Then suddenly we got notice when the councilrsquos transport plan was released that the planners had decided they wanted to purchase the building to knock it down and widen the road

ldquoFinally in June 2014 we moved into where we are today at level 1 83 Victoria Street The office is located on the corner of Peterborough Street and hopefully wersquoll never have to move againrdquo

What Hamilton Hindin Greene can do for you Hamilton Hindin Greene is a boutique personalised and specialist investment advisory service It has evolved from solely operating as a share broker when it was established almost a century ago to the diverse investment advisory firm it is today

ldquoWe are no longer the traditional share broker who just deals in New Zealand shares We are investment advisors who use a diversified approach to investing in local and international shares and bonds to provide investment solutions to a range of peoplerdquo

Clients are paired with a personal advisor who takes them through the investment planning process to develop a risk profile for the particular objectives they want to achieve

The organ is the grandest of instruments Itrsquos been referred to as the closest to heaven instrument on earth with a sound thatrsquos powerful rich and deeply moving

Restoring heritage pieces to their former glory

Keeping such instruments in pristine working order is a highly specialised craft One company that has these skills in such a niche field is the South Island Organ Company (SIOC) based in Timaru

Established in 1968 SIOC has been in continuous operation now for nearly 50 years The company offers tuning and maintenance of organs historic restorations and artistic rebuilds as well as new organ builds throughout New Zealand and overseas They are widely recognised as one of the leading firms specialising in pipe organ restoration and rebuilding

The SIOC has worked on literally hundreds of organs Some of the projects have been very large and complex such as their current restoration of Wellingtonrsquos fabulous 1906 Town Hall organ In 1997 at St Patrickrsquos Basilica Fremantle they rebuilt the largest church organ in Australia In 2008 they rebuilt the organ in UWArsquos Winthrop Hall and in 2010 the interconnected organs of St Maryrsquos Cathedral both in the city of Perth

Back in New Zealand a very special project completed late last year was the rebuild of the historic organ of Knox Presbyterian Church in Christchurch after both church and organ were badly damaged in the 201011 earthquakes

SIOCrsquos 12 man team reconstructed the original organ added some more pipes and a digital transmission to facilitate the mobilised and

ldquoEverything we do is quality old-fashioned craftsmanship made to last or to be restored We are not in the throw away utility market but in the heritage market creating one-off pieces that are going to become art works of the futurerdquo CT

adapted 1914 console in accordance with the Churchrsquos stated mission to provide a flexible concert space in the inner city

This project is a clear example of the way SIOC can incorporate leading-edge technology such as computerised digital playing aids and playback systems into organ restorations and rebuilds without compromising heritage

There is however another aspect to the work of the SIOC which may seem unrelated ndash but actually there is a connection The company can also restore precious antique furniture and create new custom joinery

This side of the operation is led by Zack Bennett a specialist in antique furniture restoration in carving and in sculpture as well as in the design and manufacture of customised joinery Zack is about to direct restoration of the historic 19th century reredos in St Saviourrsquos church in Lyttelton ndash a highly intricate project involving earthquake damaged timber and ceramic tiles So diversification is definitely the name of the game for the SIOC

An ever increasing social conscience about energy use and the effect it has on our environment is causing companies like Solar Bright to look into alternative options Using solar power technology the Christchurch-based team is making leaps and bounds with energy-generating products which are spreading throughout the city and beyond

You may recognise Solar Bright as the company behind the solar-powered table in the city centrersquos ReStart mall which visitors could use to charge their mobile devices that were running low

The table which was on loan to the council has now been relocated to a new home at Burnside High School Being the largest school in the South Island the team at Solar Bright donated the table to the school knowing they would get good use out of it

It seems the team at Solar Bright has not stopped since then They have created and installed five more tables that are dotted around the city have had interest from North Canterbury and Auckland City Council for similar products and have even installed a solar shelter in Linwood for people to charge their devices in

Managing director Nicola Martin explains that the hunger for electricity is growing dramatically and solar energy provides an effective solution

ldquoItrsquos just using what naturersquos already given us Itrsquos a renewable source of energy and means not having to rely solely on electricityrdquo

At the moment Solar Bright is also trialling the charging tables at the McDonaldrsquos restaurants on Moorhouse Ave and in Sydenham The idea is to see how the technology will work indoors and what kind of savings the chains will make on electricity bills as customers are increasingly using power points in store to charge their devices with

Nicola explained that these solar powered charging outlets are a great solution to electricity blackouts If power were ever cut from the city again people would have places like the tables and shelters to use to make sure their mobiles and devices stay on the green light making sure communication methods are protected during emergencies

But charging mobile phones and tablets ar e not the only good ideas Solar Bright has In 2012 Nicolarsquos husband and inventor of their products

Pat Martin realised the need for the detection of frost on roads and came up with PATeye technology

It is again solar powered via the sun and headlights from cars during the night and works the same sort of way that cats eyes currently do on roads around the world

With PATeye the devices installed on roads will flash blue LED lights when the air temperature reaches a certain level to warn people of the potential dangers of slipping

Due to regulations around the world it may take a little while for Solar Bright to weave through the legislation of installing the device on public roads but for now they are rolling out PATeyes on private roads car parks and pathways

Lincoln University Kiwi Rail Dunedin City Council Christchurch Polytechnic and even private NHS roads in the UK are just some of the institutions already using the technology

Solar Bright won two awards at this yearrsquos Champion Canterbury Awards for the Champion Producer Manufacturer as a small enterprise and the CDC Innovation Award for its ldquoinnovative sustainable energy-efficient lighting solutions which enhance safety and lifestyle both domestically and internationallyrdquo CT

The completely modern take on the store is unlike anything around ldquoWe are the only interior design business in the city that encompasses everything that interior design is about in one building Wersquove gone far beyond what is traditionally expected from an interior design shoprdquo

The industry leading store is a complete interior design shopping experience beautifully flowing uninterrupted from a coffee shop meeting space retail store fabric samples area to art gallery

The blended retail space offers everything and anything you might need ldquoThe draw card initially for customers especially for people who donrsquot know us as interior designers is the coffee shop and meeting space From there they can see beyond into the retail space which is adorned with beautiful little gifts and lovely things to buy for the home to larger items such as furniture and our interior design servicerdquo

Frobisher Interiors previously operated from a small villa in Merivale which was too small for

its needs The villa only just housed the team of staff restricted the number of samples on display and failed to properly showcase its work

When it came time to look for bigger premises it was a case of lsquogo big or go homersquo Ann-Marie says they looked at the big picture and made a massive wish list of everything they wanted in the new location then set to work making it a reality

The historic park in Christchurch provides a step back in time for history lovers and is a great place to take the kids during long summer afternoons

Earthquake repairs almost completedFerrymead operations manager Kim Dunkley says while the park suffered a big hit in the Christchurch earthquakes most of the damaged buildings are now repaired and reopened including the railway station Cobb cottage the tobacconist barber shop the kiosk with a detailed model of Ferrymead Village and the stables The Model Railway Society also reopened its buildings recently

ldquoItrsquos been difficult since the earthquakes particularly since wersquore in the eastern part of Christchurchrdquo Kim says ldquoThere are still more earthquake repairs to be donerdquo

The park was formed in the 1960s by a group of local heritage enthusiasts dedicated to preserving the past for future generations to enjoy It is located in an area of rich historical significance to Christchurch and was used extensively by colonists who walked over the Bridle Path from Lyttelton and down Ferry Road to their new life in Christchurch

It was also the site of New Zealandrsquos first public railway commissioned in 1863 Goods from Lyttelton were brought around on small boats and loaded onto the train which also carried passengers

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Designed to handle any load

cab chassis ldquoWe used to make the floor of a tipdeck to 6mm but with Hardox we can make them out of 4mm steel which makes a big difference to the weightrdquo

Quick turn around If you need a tipper body fast at a competitive rate Brokenshire Engineering is the team to call It has truck bodies in stock right now that can be custom-painted and fitted to a truck within two weeks But if you canrsquot find the right body in stock Brokenshire can custom-build paint install the pump oil tank and gas controls and fit it to the truck for just $45000 plus GST

Unparalleled products Brokenshirersquos ability to design and built anything for truck and trailers is unparalleled It builds new semi-tipper truck bodies and is the only business in the country that makes smooth surfaced runner-less tipper bodies

ldquoWe are the only people who make runner-less tipper bodies Most tipper bodies have got channels on them we donrsquot use channels This is the latest European designrdquo

It can also convert hydraulic truck breaks to an air break system and has three and five tonne full air axels on air suspension or springs available Henry has been in the transport engineering industry for 50 years and he says this experience in the industry means he can take on the difficult jobs that other people donrsquot want to CT

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Calvin says it wasnrsquot a hard decision when the opportunity arose to work together again and establish Takahe Construction in April 2010 The rest as they say is history

ldquoWe respect each otherrsquos abilities and feel we have the right blend to make our projects exciting and rewarding for all involvedrdquo Tim says

ldquoOur belief when incorporating Takahe five years ago was that we needed to have a point of difference in a market that is saturated with building companies We set about this by building relationships with some the best architects in Christchurch who design homes for their high-profile professional clientsrdquo

A high standard of work ethic is paramount and the team believes quality and finish should not be compromised by money and timeline

ldquoWe work with clients that are realistic and expect the best and can appreciate that this is always our work ethicrdquo Calvin says

ldquoTakahe Construction is a name you can trust With over 50 yearsrsquo combined experience we have an excellent reputation for doing a great job

ldquoWe work closely with architects to give advice to their clients on the right building and material options to make the building process easy and worry-freerdquo

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

Indeed when customers purchase a new Nissan they are often surprised in the best way possible ndash wowed even

Nissan has a long history of building strong dependable utility vehicles This new ute has redefined the utility vehicle market because of its top quality features Its ST-X model has a leather interior push button start keyless locking and best of all it feels like a car to drive

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

The cafeacute and retail store is extremely popular with visitors to the region particularly Chinese tourists with staff gearing up for the busy season between December and Easter

To keep up with business High Country Salmon has also expanded its farming operation and has almost doubled the number of smolt (baby fish) it received this year from Silverstream Hatchery in comparison with three years ago

Five years on Exit planning

Kevin Vincent is managing director of Vincent Consulting Limited wwwvincentconsultingconz

New Zealand is in good shape and Canterbury has a lot to look forward to in what will be another busy year ahead In 2015 we saw all elements of the rebuild gather momentum across the region ndash so much so that residential earthquake repairs are now almost complete Though the rebuild has had its challenges what has been achieved has been remarkable

Each and every time I return to Christchurch Irsquom heartened by the progress I see across the city and the region This is a tribute to the people and communities of Canterbury

Over the course of the past year Irsquove been privileged to open the new Christchurch tram extension attended the opening ceremony and first match of the ICC Cricket World Cup opened Breakfree Hotel unveiled a plaque at the newly opened Rydges Hotel and turned the sod on the Canterbury Earthquake Memorial

The $300 million Justice and Emergency Services Precinct is on track to be completed later this year and construction of the $800 million East and North Frame Residential Precinct will begin soon

Progress on a number of other projects will also continue at pace this year The Retail Precinct the Innovation Precinct and the rest of the Avon River Precinct are now well underway and design work has also started on the Metro Sports Facility

Next month we will mark the fifth anniversary of the February 2011 earthquake This provides us the opportunity to reflect how far wersquove come in rebuilding the city Since the first earthquake in 2010 wersquove stood by the people of Canterbury and we continue to back the recovery and rebuild ndash with the Governmentrsquos investment now reaching $165 billion

There is of course still much to be done The Government has played a huge role in the rebuild and we remain committed to supporting that but the time has come to begin stepping back and allowing local leadership to take more control

The Greater Christchurch Regeneration Bill which will come into force in April this year will ensure the regeneration of the region with a clear focus on the future

The city and its people have made incredible progress over the past five years I am proud of what has been achieved and am excited at what is to come next While there are still challenges ahead recent surveys have also shown that more people are feeling positive about their lives and the direction the city is heading in

Itrsquos important for New Zealand that Christchurch ndash as our second largest city and gateway to the South Island ndash succeeds and thrives

When it comes to exit planning the goal in most cases is to maximise the financial returns to the business owner however in cases of family succession this may be secondary Exit planning refers to the process of helping the business owner(s) leave or exit the business and ensures that a successful transition of ownership will transpire in a timely efficient and effective manner

Two types of plans need to be prepared in order for a business owner to successfully leave or exit the business

Personal goals The personal goals of the business owner(s) must be taken into account and plans must be made to ensure that ldquolife after transitionrdquo goes smoothly Personal financial planning and tax planning will need to be considered to ensure the maximum net proceeds and transfer of wealth

Business goals The business value of the enterprise needs to be maximised prior to the transition This will ensure the business owner(s) receive the maximum return on their investment Plans must be put in place to transfer the management roles and responsibilities that were previously performed by the owner(s) commonly called management succession

If a management succession plan is considered at least 12 to 36 months prior to selling then it is likely that internal structures will lower the risk of failure of a new business owner This will ultimately increase the value of the business

Why prepare an exit planNo matter how much you enjoy working in your business inevitably there will come a time when you will need to retire or sell your business

Most business owners are only concerned with selling their business to a third party Therefore the primary driver for preparing an exit plan is to maximise the value of the business in this sales process

To ensure you get the best price for your business if you decide to sell you need to start planning for such a sale well in advance You also need to consider the issues that could cause you problems

Most business owners feel their business is worth more than is justified by the marketplace Most business ownersrsquo books and records may fail to reflect the true worth of the business Most business owners have backdated compliance and financial statements

Most business owners have never reviewed their business from an ldquoattractiveness to a buyerrdquo perspective so there are fundamental problems that will drag the value down

In my last editorial I wrote about the key elements of building a high performance culture

Learning and development was a key discussion point and upon reflection Irsquove reaffirmed with myself the importance it plays with staff engagement

The reasons why an employee leaves an organisation be it a poor relationship with their supervisor or manager lack of career direction inadequate challenge in their position and for higher pay - all have direct ties to learning and development Why you might sayhellip well here is my view

It is all about making staff feel valued They will feel valued if you care care about their professional development and career path Ultimately the more someone excels professionally the better lives they will lead We all want to live better lives right

And donrsquot under estimate the fulfilment you get as the leader in seeing your staff grow and develop Fulfilment comes intrinsically in making a difference in someone elsersquos life and this can be done by engaging staff and a better understanding of their real career drivers their strengths and weaknesses where they want to take their career and so forth

By simply turning this into a conversation and subsequently a formal career development plan you can then partner with your employee to improve their skills

This can be done via a range of methods Internal and external training coaching mentoring leadership development on the job experience empowerment and delegation and various other means to enable a staff member to grow their skills

At Stellar we have used all of the above during the years What has proven most successful is ensuring a variety of learning styles are considered using a mixture of situational learning graphics and pictures round table discussions on the job experiencelearning Internet-based videos reading material and tests and leading by example as well as specialist external training forums - as long as itrsquos specific to the needs of the employee

What do you get in return I would say definitely improved engagement your employee sees you adding value to them by learning new skills and taking on new challenges (both building confidence) and they will see an improved career path

Secondly you have staff who then can be promoted from within allowing them to increase their earning potential pay There are endless examples of how effective this can be verses the unknown of hiring someone externally

But most importantly they simply value that you care creating an emotional attachment to you as their supervisor or manager

The importance of learning and development

Martz Witty head of the Martz Group aligning chartered accountancy with the creativity of business development wwwmartzconz

An organisation cannot reach its potential if different parts are pulling in different directions A few years ago I left a professional partnership for this very reason and saw the same trait again in a national not-for-profit

Organisations as a whole need to understand where they are heading what theyre attempting to do and achieve short and long term

Similarly everyone should be aware of what the organisation holds to be important in how it operates ndash that there is an over-arching purpose and some rules to work by

But within an organisation there may be divisions branches teams ndash each with their own objectives and roles It is easy for these small groups (and that can be an individual) to be focused on their role or process with no thought to how that role contributes towards goals of the business

Consequently actions may be taken by one team which help achieve their own objectives but that are detrimental to other teams and therefore to the organisation as a whole

A challenge for management is to ensure each subset of the organisation is aware not only of its own objectives but is also aware of and encouraged to support the objectives of other teams it influences

By retaining a comprehension and consideration of the bigger picture internal elements of the organisation end up working cohesively to help the business perform its function more efficiently

This is achieved through repeated communication Cohesiveness and efficiency is promoted through communication of mutually consistent objectives and can be aided by properly targeted incentives

One area that can cause strife and inefficiency is poor role setting A company must be clear on the actions and processes that are critical to producing its desired output ndash and that output includes customer experience

These actions and processes must be assigned to specific teams and individuals who need to be held accountable for their implementation Determine what can be easily measured that provides confirmation that these critical processes are being performed satisfactorily Measure record review and provide feedback

Then work through all other necessary actions in the organisation and assign those tasks also Each person has a role and they are encouraged to perform that role efficiently in a way consistent with company rules of behaviour and objectivestargets that contribute to company goals

I guess this is whatrsquos really meant by getting ldquoall your ducks in a rowrdquo ndash have everyone working in the same direction

Recent research shows that as the global economy is becoming more intertwined diversifying a share portfolio across different sectors may be more important than diversifying across countriesWe talk a lot about the importance of diversifying a share portfolio across different geographies and with good reason An event or series of events can affect one country and not others What gets less airtime but just as important is sector diversification

A working paper by Morningstar Investment Management published late last year found that the sector a company operates in plays a much bigger role in determining its growth than where it happens to be listed In essence sector is more important than location

This suggests investors need to look beyond geographic diversification when constructing share portfolios and ensure they also have a prudent spread across different industries

The traditional reason to invest across a range of markets is to gain access to different drivers of growth and to spread risk Morningstar believes the benefit of geographic diversification is being diluted because major companies which are the ones most investors hold in their portfolios are becoming increasingly global

Morningstar studied 46 countries and instead of looking at total returns to assess the influence of sector versus country as previous studies have done they went one step further and looked at how these factors impacted earnings and dividend growth They took the view that what ultimately determines the value of a company and its performance is the earnings and dividend growth it generates

They found that industry has much more influence over a companyrsquos growth than its location This is more pronounced in developed markets where geographic diversification offers less benefit than in emerging markets

According to their research regional diversification has no discernable influence over the different earnings and dividend growth rates of companies across developed markets but industry explains more than 50 percent of this variability in growth Without delving too far into Morningstarrsquos rather complex regression analysis their research has a clear message for investors sector diversification matters

Eight ways to handle the holiday slowdown

It never fails to amaze me how entrepreneurs can cope with high volume sales and production periods but some get a little freaked when business slows down as can happen over the holidays

Wersquove had a rash of people asking us what they should do over the holidays to keep themselves sane and on the right track So here are a few of the suggestions

1 Get ready for the tax year Riveting huh Well maybe not but it will save you a ton in accountancy fees and also have you ready at the front of the line to get those annuals done and dusted and the tax position planned for the ensuing year Well prepared records means a reduction in time spent which spells savings to you

2 Communicate with your clients and customers more in the slow period to remain top of mind for when business speeds up Send holiday cards and dream up some holiday based special offers for customers

3 Declutter at work Take the time to do the filing cull old records throw out those records you can (usually over seven years old)

Just checking ndash but you are thanking people arenrsquot youYou should be taking every opportunity to engage with your website visitors but one opportunity that is very commonly overlooked is the lsquothank yoursquo message when someone has made a purchase completed a form or subscribed to your newsletter

Most websites have a standard message saying something similar to lsquoThank you for your enquiry We will be in touch with you as soon as possiblersquo and thatrsquos it

While this is a nice polite (if not dull) message it has effectively ended the engagement with your website visitor There is so much more you could do to continue the interaction

Ideas for your lsquothank yoursquo page

Set expectations Clearly set expectations as to what is the next step and give exact timeframes as to when you will be in touch rather than just saying lsquoas soon as possiblersquo Make sure though that if you are saying you will be in touch within 24 hours or the product that has been purchased will be shipped in 48 hours that you keep to these timeframes There is nothing worse than having an expectation set only to be disappointed when the timeframes have not been met

Add contact details Yes your contact information is on your contact page (or it should be) but make it easy on the user by adding them again in case they have an immediate enquiry

Calls to action This is where you encourage further action so if someone has sent you an enquiry you could use the thank you page to ask them to subscribe to your newsletter or visit your Facebook page You might want to ask them to leave feedback on their experience so create a feedback form and link to it on the thank you page

Social media If you are active on social media then include the relevant icon links Having your website visitors following and interacting with you on other channels aside from your website is great for brand awareness and promotion

Building trust Why not add a testimonial to this page It reinforces your trust and credibility Alternatively direct them to your testimonials page if you have one so they can continue to interact with your website Including links to your blog posts videos or whitepapers you may have written will further enhance your brand credibility

Design You can be creative with the design of this page It can look totally different to your other pages but not so different of course that there is a brand disconnect when landing on this page

What we can learn about workplace design

At a Human Factors and Ergonomics conference in Melbourne earlier this year I attended a talk about developing the new learning environment and the importance ergonomics plays in this process

The attention to getting the learning space design right for school children really interests me After all it makes sense that school is a place where we help our children discover how they learn and work best and where we aim to set them up for life

Here in New Zealand the Ministry of Education has this approach clearly on its radar and has made the comment that its ldquoextensive research proved that students learnt best when they are Actively involved in decision making initiating learning collaborating together and making connections within and across learning spacesrdquo

Wouldnrsquot most of us like to be doing this in the workplace too

There seems to me a correlation between classroom and workspace design Traditionally schools and office blocks have both comprised of box shaped rooms leading off a main central corridor

In more recent times in an effort to nurture a more collaborative environment many offices have evolved into the lsquoopen plan workspacersquo however with lack of privacy and multiple distractions often being cited as problematic this style of working is not for everyone and this is where the business world could perhaps learn something

Schools are now leaning towards multi-option spaces designed to allow for large or small group work with places for teachers to work individually with children

Encouragingly I am starting to see this approach in new office designs now some open plan some small individual office space when people need somewhere quiet to focus for one-on-one interviews or phone calls larger spaces for meetings and just like schools the even bigger space for audio visual presentations or training or social events

It might seem obvious but again research by the Ministry of Education has shown that while good spaces enable they do not guarantee good educational outcomes But poor spaces will definitely impact on educational outcomes In the same way workspace design can definitely affect productivity as well as the health of the people working there with an impact on the bottom line of the business

Take a look around your premises ndash is there room for improvement and if so where might you start When it comes to workspace improvement a little change can make a big difference And if nothing else like a student starting an essay just think about it and hopefully the rest will come

Ever wanted a pet chicken but couldnrsquot quite commit Just rent one then You can rent one from Rent-a-Chook and if you decide you like it you can keep it They sell hens chicken feed coops and anything else a hen might need to survive in your back garden and have been doing so since 2001

The idea is to encourage people to have environmentally sustainable pets so Rent-a-Chook started a try-before-you-buy type business model The business even won a Green Award in 2009

2 Pet Rockwwwpetrockcom

If a chicken is too much for you to handle you could just buy a Pet Rock This business venture goes all the way back to 1975 when founder Gary Dahl joked about owning a pet rock while having a drink with some friends in a bar

The joke soon turned into reality when he recruited two colleagues as investors and started selling smooth rocks all packaged up in their own cardboard carry case (with air holes) complete with a care manual He reportedly made US$15 million

3 Square watermelonsLess a stand-alone business more a widespread craze square watermelons are what happens when good old mother nature asks us to stack round fruits on top of one another without the whole thing coming crashing down A Japanese farmer found a solution some 30 years ago to that problem and here we have the square watermelon

They are created by placing the fruit in a square box while still small and on the vine as it grows it takes the form of the box and et voilagrave Japan has been exporting the fruits all across the world with one USA Today report stating that they were fetching up to US$860 each in Russia in 2013

She has a book a website an abundance of merchandise and even starred in her own movie Grumpy Catrsquos Worst Christmas Ever A report by a British newspaper claimed the cat had earned over US$100m but that was later denied by the owner

In January 2013 UK enterprise website realbusinesscouk wrote an article about crazy business ideas that actually worked Rated number one on their list was the notorious dating website Ashley Madison ndash you know the site that was recently hacked and had its membersrsquo details wiped across the internet

YouTube has become the king of online video since it started in 2005 But not only has it made its original founders and current owners Google very rich it has also made its content creators pretty well off too

The relationship between technology and business is of course ubiquitous

Hi-tech tools By Christelle Savry

Here at Irontech we recently completed the design and development of a web-based production system for CNC machine control The solution brings state of the art Software as a Service (SaaS) architecture to the heart of day to day manufacturing operations and showcases the technologyrsquos multiple benefits

Our customerrsquos vision was to develop a modern system where production data would flow seamlessly between the various manufacturing entities allowing the companyrsquos workforce to focus on core high value tasks

As is often the case in this conservative sector the ultimate goals were to improve productivity and quality while reducing wastage In this case the business owner also wanted to design a solution that would be generic enough to be licensed to other manufacturers

With this in mind the team at Irontech identified that a custom SaaS solution was most appropriate to meet the various requirements and delivered a web-based portal hosted in the Microsoft Azure cloud The design also allows for intermittent offline scenarios with automatic data resynchronisation

An integral part of the production process the bespoke portal allows end customer project components to be assigned to individual CNC machines located on the various sites around the country Various factors such as delivery location and current machine load are used to determine optimal workload distribution for the best productivity outcome

Using Restful Web API technology the CNC machines connect to the web portal to retrieve and push production data in real time This cutting edge software has successfully turned a labour intensive system into a fully automated highly efficient process contributing to a higher productivity and a reduced rate of human error

The portal allows other companies to register and manage their own production data completely independently Secure communication with third party software applications is performed using a documented platform-independent web API Companies can therefore design their own interface tailored to their environments and equipment A decentralised directory service can also be provided to allow for single log-in

Like cloud computing the line-of-business SaaS model reduces the total cost of ownership of software by way of economy of scale It optimises the usage of the underlying resources ndash think hardware and services ndash to allow small companies to access high tech solutions at a fraction of the cost of a traditional equivalent lsquoon-premisesrsquo software

In essence the SaaS adds value to the day to day operation of customers factories and the licensing revenue helps recoup the development cost of the system It even generates its own income stream making such an investment highly attractive

Working from home is a very attractive option for many people It offers great flexibility and a work-life balance that we all dream of And as more people seek a better balanced lifestyle an increasing number of professionals are turning this dream into a reality

You may be chasing this goal yourself Either by establishing your own start-up company from the comfort of your home or your current employer might have offered you the opportunity to retire from the office cubicle and relocate to home

But before you pack up your desk and sing sayonara to your work colleagues there are a few factors to take into consideration

While yes there are many benefits of working from home there are some pitfalls to be aware of It is a good idea to weigh up both the negatives and the positives before you throw an office leaving party

ADVANTAGES FlexibilityWorking from home opens up a world of possibilities Having the freedom to choose your own work hours is one of the most notable changes but there are many other elements that yoursquoll have control over For example working from home gives you the freedom and flexibility over your work environment which encompasses the temperature lightening sound such as the choice to play music or not and your overall comfort and atmosphere Whatever mood makes you the happiest and most productive you can create

FocusWorking from home cuts out all of the typical workplace distractions and disturbances yoursquoll no longer encounter annoying interruptions unimportant meetings or distractions from co-workers So it is easy to focus in a calm quiet environment

Substantial savingsThere are many hidden costs associated with working in a traditional office environment from the cost of fuel used while driving back and forth to work parking charges the temptation to buy

expensive lunches and pricey work wardrobes if you are required to dress professionally And of course if you have children there is the cost of childcare But by working from home all of these expenses are literally gone and yoursquore bound to notice a welcome saving

Higher work output Removed from the distractions and stresses of the workplace people often feel a lot happier and as a result work more efficiently and at the end of the day are more productive

DISADVANTAGES Loneliness One of the main disadvantages of working from home that isnrsquot often anticipated is the isolation experienced working alone People often miss the hive of social interaction at the workplace For many people it is their primary environment to meet people and make friends And as a consequence professionals working from home often feel disconnected isolated and depressed

ForgottenBy not physically showing your face in the office on a daily bases you can find yourself

being overlooked and forgotten You may be left out of important company decisions and changes or worse in danger of being overlooked for promotion in favour of staff who are more visibly fighting for the position

Interruptions

Although yoursquove eliminated office distractions a whole new raft of distractions arise from working at home - and they can often be worse Home interruptions can include children friends pets neighbours or the temptation to get chores around the house done To avoid these distractions you need to set clear work hours and let your family and friends know you are unavailable during this time

Work doesnrsquot end

If you fail to create a clear separation between your work and home life you can be at risk of working endlessly Because there is no one enforcing a strict nine to five work day people who work from home often find themselves working longer hours This may be triggered by pressures to prove themselves and their abilities in this arrangement

News |emspWorking life

One of the biggest problems with attempting to change an organisationrsquos culture is that culture is not something you can see feel and touch This doesnrsquot mean itrsquos not real Itrsquos very real ndash particularly in the way it influences our daily lives

Culture is all about behavioural norms expectations placed upon us by the system within which we function

At the societal level we constantly behave according to such behavioural norms When we meet people for the first time we shake their hands But why do we do this Itrsquos because itrsquos lsquowhat we dorsquo ndash itrsquos expected of us

Why do we shake hands and not bump feet or rub elbows We have lsquolearnedrsquo to do it As children we see our parents do it and over time it becomes a cultural normrsquo

Similarly in organisations there are certain lsquoways of doing thingsrsquo In some organisations people have learned that they should simply

Swimming against the tide

Balancing acts | The pros and cons of working from homeBy Laura Baker

keep themselves out of trouble In others they have learned to make sure they never make a mistake In some they have learned that honesty can be career limiting and in others they have learned that itrsquos really a competition to be seen and noticed

After 50 years of research into the factors that influence organisational performance there are very few today who would not rank organisational culture as critical to business success

Customers experience an organisationrsquos culture when they communicate or interface with that organisation Staff experience it every day Friends and partners of staff hear about it in the stories that people tell about their work

Organisational culture is the single biggest reason improvement initiatives fail If an organisationrsquos culture has lsquotaughtrsquo people to simply lsquodo their jobrsquo or always unquestioningly obey the rules there is simply no way that any improvement (or culture change) programme is going to work without addressing that existing culture

Take someone who works in a job that has minimal autonomy and thus little opportunity to think within a culture that does not

welcome honest upward feedback and then ask people to lsquouse their initiativersquo or lsquobe creativersquo or lsquobe accountablersquo and yoursquore really wasting your time (and money)

An organisationrsquos culture either works for it or against it particularly in times of change and adaptation

Being able to clearly identify what aspects of the culture help and what aspects hinder is vital in being able to address culture change initiatives that actually work

Thirty years of research into organisational culture has led Human Synergistics to identify the cultural norms that help promote effective performance and those which inhibit it

The 12 norms are clustered into three groups While there is much more behind each norm than those descriptions listed below these are suitable lsquoone linersrsquo for each

Norms that represent AggressiveDefensive behaviours

bull Find fault in others

bull Be lsquotoughrsquo and powerfulrsquo

bull Compete rather than cooperate

bull Never ever make a mistake

Norms that represent Constructive behavioursbull Strive for excellencebull Learn and growbull Support one anotherbull Build relationshipsPlease those in positions of authority Norms that represent PassiveDefensive behavioursbull Simply follow the rulesbull Push decisions upwardsbull Avoid blame

Each organisation will have its own combination of these norms The more the Constructive norms prevail the more effective the organisationrsquos performance The more the PassiveDefensive norms prevail the more the organisation functions like a non-responsive bureaucracy and the more AggressiveDefensive norms prevail the organisation operates as a bunch of individuals with the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing

By measuring culture it can be lsquoprofiledrsquo Once profiled it can be lsquoseenrsquo Once seen it moves beyond being an intangible concept to a tangible reality Once lsquorealrsquo it can be changed

MAKING IT HIS WAYBy Terri Cluckie

Alasdair Cassels is an icon in Christchurch or he is around Woolston anyway His distinct looks play a part in that status tall frame dark glasses long white hair and moustache - itrsquos quite a striking presence but a humble and friendly one nonetheless

wwwcanterburytodayconz emsp January 2016 | 15

News |emspCover story

The man himself is probably just as iconic as his business ventures during the past few years specifically his boutique shopping arcade The Tannery and the Cassels amp Sons Brewery which he co-owns with his son Zak and son-in-law Joe Shanks

The Cassels family has contributed a lot to the economy of the city with various businesses sprawled throughout Alasdair co-owns the CBD Bar on Madras St as well as the brewery and shopping centre and has recently been working on a project to clean up the Heathcote River

The river itself is something Alasdair seems to dote on Itrsquos partly why he bought the site that The Tannery sits on way back in 1994

ldquoIt told a story straight away of Christchurch in its early days because Christchurch was really settled on the banks of the Heathcoterdquo Alasdair explains

Read anything about Alasdair in the paper or online and yoursquoll probably hear about the Heathcote and Christchurchrsquos early days He canrsquot help but let his passion for the city show Itrsquos understandable though ndash he seems to have known nothing but success in Christchurch

I first met Alasdair on a drizzly spring morning I had met him in the atrium of The Tannery to talk about the site and the shape of the city in general (who else to talk to about the city but a lover of it) but our conversation drifted more towards another of his passions craft beer

He has been making his own beer at home for years and even taught his children how to do it so of course he has set up his own brewery

The Cassels amp Sons Brewery was officially established in 2009 and started out exactly where it sits now in The Brewery bar of The Tannery It got off to a shaky start with the earthquakes following two years after it opened but that didnrsquot knock their confidence

for long In fact the craft beer industry in New Zealand as a whole is booming right now

According to the ANZ New Zealand Craft Beer Industry Insights 2015 report craft beer sales have increased 42 percent in the last year alone Beer exports to Asia have also doubled in the last two years with the Asian market potential being 750 times the size of New Zealand so it would seem now is the time to export

When we spoke Cassels amp Sons didnrsquot yet have the capacity to export due to hand bottling each beer and predominantly using kegs for draft beer or bottles sold at local markets to sell their product But things are very quickly about to change

The Brewery is situated at the entrance of The Tannery and houses their public bar kitchen and hand-built wood fire kettle which they used to brew their first batch of pilsner (itrsquos one of only two in the world according to Alasdair)

If you take a stroll to the bottom end of The Tannery car park you will come across a second building ndash one of Cassels amp Sonsrsquo bigger breweries - itrsquos here that big changes are about to be made

The brewery has just acquired a bottling plant they imported from Czech Republic It is the biggest bottling machine in the craft beer industry in New Zealand and should be up and running in February

The potential this $1m machine carries for Cassels amp Sons is huge The machine a Moravek 21244 Tribloc has a maximum production rate of 7000 bottles per hour and is capable of bottling over six million litres per year which more than out does the current hand-bottling methods of the brewery

ldquoBeer is easier to make and serve in a bar Once you start bottling it itrsquos got to be really technically made otherwise on the way to

market the flavour goes the bubbles go The more sophisticated the machine is the better chance yoursquove got of getting it to market so exporting and everything else becomes an optionrdquo explains Alasdair

He has hopes of bottling other breweriesrsquo beers too ndash another way of giving back to the community

When I met Alasdair in The Tannery he was sat with two other gentlemen clearly well at home in the Victorian-arcade inspired centre surrounded by his friends

We eventually shifted into the corner of a coffee shop to chat Something I didnrsquot realise at the time but quickly caught on to was just how popular Alasdair is Even later when we were taking pictures in the atrium people continuously made jokes with him tried to have a chat and just generally looked his way

Whether thatrsquos because he literally owns the place or because people have so much respect for him Irsquom not sure but even just spending an hour with him I can understand the pull he has

The Tannery is buzzing with business and visitors Itrsquos a really positive place to be

The centre didnrsquot really come to life until after the earthquakes because as Alasdair tells me for one reason or another before then he had struggled to get planning permission from the city council to do anything with the site It wasnrsquot until after the earthquakes that The Tannery began to transform into what it is today

ldquoIt was an absolute tragedy and all of us were shockedrdquo says Alasdair ldquoBut amongst all that was a sense of excitement There really was a sense of being able to do somethingrdquo

He explains that when the city centre was shut down in the aftermath a lot of boutique family-run businesses needed a new place to settle and The Tannery offered them the perfect spot ldquoIt was safety in numbers so dozens of them came hererdquo

The building itself had to be re-built but it meant that Alasdair was able to turn his dreams for the Woolston community into a reality

ldquoI wanted something that was peaceful and uplifting when you walked into it I wanted to make people feel better about things and also give them a chance to escape from the city or from at that stage the beaten up city

ldquoI wanted to create a fantasy and fairytale place which wasnrsquot as hard as it seemsrdquo

Although it took a few years to really get the centre and the businesses it housed off the ground the $20m project now has 65

happy tenants meaning all leases are under occupation A few more expansions are even in the works with Alice in Videoland building a two-screen cinema at the south end of the atrium with the Metropolitan Lounge going above it (a conference centre art gallery)

The news came late last year that Alasdair was planning on selling 45 percent of his shares for The Tannery in an aim to earn back some of the well-spent money he has dedicated to it

He is planning on channelling the money into other projects around Woolston but he is keeping the details under lock and key for now At this point in time itrsquos early days but Alasdair is confident that his shares will sell pretty easily so he can start making tracks on his next plan

He has big hopes for the city overall not just his little corner of it by the Heathcote river

ldquoIn the 50s and 60s Christchurch was a big capital of the South Island We had head offices bigger government departments and big banks here

ldquoNew Zealand went through an economic reform in the 80s and what happened then was head offices and bigger government departments were taken away from Christchurch and went to Auckland and Wellington so we shrunk and the need for a big city shrunk and we were only left with a few parts of town that really were used properly

ldquoCities like to be compact they like to be dense so they work better when therersquos lots of people and things to do and I think this new plan wersquove got will solve that problemrdquo explains Alasdair

Although the majority of Alasdairrsquos focus remains on the Woolston side of town he does talk a fair bit about the city Itrsquos clear he has big hopes for it Hersquos positive of the outcome and knows Christchurch is headed in the right direction

ldquoThe biggest thing we need in town is patience It might not be for a while but it will develop slowly and it will be a good placerdquo

At the end of our interview Alasdair took me along to the Brewery Bar to proudly show off their wood fire kettle He brought it up a few times during our conversation so hersquos clearly proud of it

And it is impressive It took him and his son-in-law six months to build by hand I guess that took his patience too and it must have been worth the wait I hear a Cassels amp Sons pint is damn good wwwthetanneryconz wwwcasselsbreweryconz

Cassels amp Sonsrsquo new Moravek bottling machine has a maximum production rate of 7000 bottles per hour and is capable of bottling over six million litres per year

Mental health days Why worryThe reality is that we work long and hard to do the job wersquove been assigned to do so achieving that worklife balance concept can seem redundant

Sometimes we simply just need a day off to sort ourselves out mentally in order to prevent burnout remain productive and increase our work performance when we return to the job

We often associate days off work with a physical illness but mental wellbeing is generally overlooked Keeping up with everything in life and work can become too much and our brains turn into mush

While a little worry and concern can focus the mind being overly stressed and unhappy isnrsquot good for your health and it isnrsquot good for those around you either Sometimes we (especially workaholics) find it difficult to give ourselves time off work because

We worry about how it might affect other people in the workplace

bull We think we wonrsquot be able to keep up with the workload when we return

bull We worry wersquore missing out

bull We feel guilty or pressured

bull We need the money

bull Or we think we donrsquot need the time off

But if yoursquore physically and emotionally exhausted suffering from sleepless nights feeling constantly stressed snappy at work and home or generally not caring about your work yoursquore on the road to having a meltdown and potentially committing career suicide

Whatrsquos worse working too hard instead of working smart to the best of your ability yet making mistakes - or taking a day off so you can get back to work re-energised and complete tasks to a high standard

While one day off wonrsquot cast away deep underlying stresses and strains it does allow you to step away from the scene of the crime and grab some much needed headspace

If you donrsquot want to eat into your holiday pay ask your boss to take an unpaid half day or full

History is full of poets philosophers and sages espousing the benefits of a positive disposition But it seems scientists disagreeWhy Because it pays to worry a little bit - quite literally

A study published in the Journal of Behavioural Decision Making in 2012 monitored 213 peoplersquos behaviour in relation to a simulated gambling game The study found participants in a sad or worrisome mood were more likely to make logical bets they knew had a higher likelihood of winning even after a series of losses

Whereas positive happy bettors were quicker and more likely to play what they knew was a riskier move Their jovial outlook influenced them to make unpredictable decisions on gut feelings despite the opportunity to play a logical bet

The study shows you are more likely to make winning decisions while you are in an anxious worried state of mind

But these findings donrsquot just apply to gambling The positive effect of this negative feeling translates into the business world In moderation worry can work wonders for your career

Sometimes a negative attitude is actually beneficial trait to have because it allows you to look at a situation in a more realistic light Feeling worried means you are more likely to make a logical decision with a higher outcome of success compared with your cheerful counterpart in the same situation

There is no danger of over promising and under delivering because you are thinking realistically Worry helps to rein in out of this world ideas it also assists with assessing the risks and obstacles in front of you

Worry can be the side effect of a strong desire to achieve perfection And in the pursuit of perfection worry can prompt you to double check and even triple check your work Without worry there is a risk you can become complacent a little too relaxed and more likely to make a mistake

Under a moderate amount of worry you are capable of learning and remembering new information more effectively This is because the primary stress hormone cortisol improves learning and memory at moderate concentrations compared to low or high concentrations

Worry has also been linked to accelerate career promotions and overall success An international study in Perspectives on Psychological Science in 2007 monitored 118519 peoplersquos careers

The study found those who are less happy attain higher salaries and more education while people who are very happy tend to form more rewarding relationships

People who are more susceptible to worry consequently exhibit the following personality traits

PROSbull More attentive to detailbull More motivated to work bull More polite and attentive to othersbull Vigilant for risks and threats

CONS bull Overcautious bull Less creativebull At risk of becoming too stressedbull More closed minded

In comparison worry-free people exhibit these contrasting behaviours

PROSbull More creativebull Form better relationshipsbull Healthierbull Willing to explore

CONSbull Prone to overlooking threats and dangersbull Open to unwise risks bull More gulliblebull Lacking appropriate embarrassment or guilt

day off And remember you donrsquot have to tell your co-workers that yoursquore taking a mental health day just that you wonrsquot be available

Whether you intend to be busy carrying out chores around the house exercising enjoying some retail therapy or you intend to do the complete opposite and catch up on sleep for the whole day a mental health day is whatever it means to you to be completely free

Just remember to plan ahead by informing your boss and colleagues of your leave in advance so they can work around it This way you wonrsquot need to worry about how your absence may affect others

And make sure when you take your mental health day work stays at work ndash donrsquot bring it home with you Turn your mobile phone off donrsquot check work related emails and certainly donrsquot take home any paperwork Emergencyrsquos only please

At the end of the day your health is important Provide some relief by paying attention to yourself and live a healthier life

Health and safety is paramount for operators involved in the use of elevated work platforms

So when it comes time to validating your competency you want to choose the best training course available

Accessman is New Zealandrsquos leading specialised hire company providing scissor lifts cherry pickers knucklebooms and mobile scaffolding Itrsquos now leading the field as an accredited IPAF training provider to complement the existing Silvercard NZQA training it currently offers

The company launched the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) accredited training programme throughout the South Island in November as one of two companies nationwide to do so

The internationally recognised course was developed by leading industry professionals and is aimed at users of elevated work platforms generally in the construction industry and certifies operators in the machines of their choice IPAF training conforms to the international standard ISO 18878 - Mobile Elevating Work Platforms Operator training and ISO 9001 - Quality Management Systems

The Accessman Group general manager Lena Harrington says health and safety is a priority not only within the company but throughout the industry So when Accessman saw the opportunity to provide the renowned IPAF training programme it jumped at the chance

ldquoI think the marketplace needed an alternative qualification IPAFrsquos rigid testing structure ensures that only competent operators are awarded the

qualification which provides employers with peace of mind that their staff have been thoroughly trained ndash they will not pass unless they are competentrdquo

IPAF training was founded in the UK and today has 600 training outlets worldwide which are responsible for qualifying over 100000 people per year IPAF recognised the Accessman Group had the platform required to release the qualification to the New Zealand market in partnership with Total Access in the North Island

To become an accredited training centre a senior IPAF auditor was brought out from the UK to put Accessmanrsquos training staff through the intensive instructorrsquos course

ldquoObviously our staff had to have a significant amount of experience within the industry before they were eligible to become IPAF instructors some of whom are also qualified to train both IPAF and Silvercard NZQA The training venues also had to meet some fairly stringent requirementsrdquo Lena says

The course is comprised of both practical and theory based learning with assessments The classes are kept small to maximise individual learning and the training centres are regularly audited to ensure they meet and adhere to the IPAF standards Training centres also receive regular updates to ensure that attendees are receiving the best training possible Attendees of IPAF training receive a Powered Access Licence (PAL) card The PAL card is valid for five years and is internationally recognised It can also be instantly verified by anyone via an online database which not only includes a photo of the card holder but details of the card

Five reasons to attend an IPAF training programmeThe PAL card is valid for five yearsThe PAL card is internationally recognisedThe card can be instantly verified via an online databaseExpert training by leading industry professionals in small class sizesOn completion participants receive a PAL card log book and an operator handbook

expiration date and machines the card holder can operate In addition they also receive a log book to record their machine use and an operator handbook

Lena says the PAL card is useful to the large number of contractors from overseas in the city thanks to its international recognition ldquoContractors are coming and going all the time in Christchurch at the moment so it makes sense that they have a qualification that is transferablerdquo In addition all reputable manufacturers of elevated work platforms worldwide are members of IPAF an alignment that strengthens the service the not for profit federation provides

Back in the 1980s I trained for and gained a Private Pilotrsquos Licence (PPL) Although quite a number of years have passed since then I have never forgotten the joy and exhilaration of being in the air watching the world go by below There is an immense feeling of freedom to this recreational activity and every time you fly it is different in some way Other people such as Richie McCaw know the wonder of aviation and it is there for the taking

Take a trial flight at the South Canterbury Aero Club and see if you donrsquot become addicted

The South Canterbury Aero Club offers a superb environment and location for people to learn to fly whatever their reason for doing this may be Perhaps they are looking for a career in aviation or wish only to fly for recreation either way the South Canterbury Aero Club can cater for all needs from new students right through to commercial pilot training and beyond

Proudly Supporting Window Treatments for over 10 Years

As New Zealandrsquos largest independently owned blind shutter awning and insect screen manufacturing and retail company Window Treatments offer products that follow the latest international trends

The company has retail stores and mobile showrooms throughout the country including nine across the South Island

It has an exciting range of new products available for the summer season including exterior awnings that are designed for longevity in harsh coastal environments

Owner Graeme Rose says the Palladio cassetted folding arm awning is a new generation awning ideal for home patios shops and kiosks offering unobstructed passage underneath It is made from aluminium marine-grade stainless steel fittings and fabrics designed for the outdoors

ldquoPalladio is fully cassetted so it protects the fabric when the awning is retractedrdquo he says

ldquoIt can cover everything up to seven metres in width and a projection of up to 36 metres Itrsquos very large and is ideal for creating that indoor-outdoor environment where you want sun or wind protectionrdquo

Other new awnings from Window Treatments include the Italia box radial arm awning which is ideal for both residential and commercial installations and the Terrazza pergola awning

Graeme says another exciting new product is the Securo side roller blind which rolls from side to side rather than up and down like a conventional roller blind

ldquoItrsquos particularly good for ranch sliders where you need some light control and it also doubles as an insect screen The beauty is you can roll it back just enough to get outside while still having your ranch slider open With a conventional roller blind yoursquod have to roll it right up to go through the doorrdquo

Focus | Tekapo Springs

Tekapo Springs is a year-round attraction beloved by visitors from across the globe In early 2015 the resort announced plans to open new multi-million dollar facilities for visitors families and locals to enjoy from late December onwards ndash and itrsquos finally here

New pools take Tekapo Springs to the next level

The new additions include three new pool areas including an aqua playspray area for kids and teens a beach accessed kidsrsquo pool and an adultsrsquo deep water pool

The pools all run at cooler water temperatures of 33 degrees Celsius for the kidsrsquo pool and aqua play area and 28 degrees Celsius for the adultsrsquo pool

Tekapo Springs owner and managing director Karl Burtscher says the aim is to offer a dditional entertaining aquatic options for families children and adults He also says the need to offer a wider temperature range of pool water was important especially during the summer months

Karl explains that the new additions completely open up the resort and create even more

opportunities for guests to gaze upon Lake Tekapo while enjoying the facilities

ldquoYou can now get down to pool level and really appreciate the views from the new adult pool in particular which quite possibly will have the best overall views down Lake Tekapo of any of the pools ndash old and newrdquo

The new pool additions themed lsquoHigh Country Tarnsrsquo each with its own distinctive shade of aqua green ndash were designed to complement the three existing hot pools and are part of Tekapo Springsrsquo long term growth strategy for expanding its aquatic attractions and offering a wider range of water temperatures and features

The new pools will also run through winter depending on outside weather temperatures

ldquoProud to be be involved in the construction of the new pools for Tekapo Springsrdquo

wwwcanterburytodayconz emsp January 2016 | 25

Focus | Tekapo Springs

A tight scheduleSince the first sod was turned on September 1 2015 progress was swift and exciting With the new pools taking shape and initial landscaping underway Tekapo Springs staff were thrilled to see dreams become reality

As of November 25 fibre glass spraying and painting of the adultsrsquo pool had been completed with fibre glass spraying commencing on the childrenrsquos cold pool a few days after

Karl says as the pools literally took shape on a daily basis staff could start to get a sense of what they would be delivering to guests

A helping handThe design concept of the pools came from Karl himself and he even completed some of the earth and civil works while co-ordinating the whole project

Although Karl played a major hand in bringing the new additions to life he received a wide slot of help from both local companies and others from around New Zealand

Those involved included H2O Water Systems from Auckland doing the pool plant High Country Carpentry from Fairlie doing all the building and formwork Stephen Styles Block and Brick doing block work Murray Linton Concrete doing concrete laying Reflex Industrial doing fibre glassing and Damon Smith Electrical and Prolec (Professional Electric) from Christchurch doing controls and automation

The perfect spotTekapo Springs is nestled on the shores of stunning Lake Tekapo boasting a unique mix of summer and winter recreation and relaxation

Open 364 days a year the attraction already includes three existing outdoor hot pools a steam and sauna facility an ice rink water slides summer and winter tubing a day spa cafeacute and fully licensed bar

The company has evolved into a year-round ldquomust-dordquo on the bucket list of many visitors to the South Island as well as stamping its mark as an important centrepiece in the Tekapo community

The new pools are a testament to the companyrsquos drive to grow and develop while continuously exceeding customer expectations The three new pools help step-up Tekapo Springsrsquo summer offering and put it among one of the countryrsquos leading tourism operators CT

Finance | Hamilton Hindin Greene

Christchurch businesses are all too familiar with the struggles and obstacles that come with upheaving an office and moving to a new location One local business that understands the struggle all too well is Hamilton Hindin Greene

The investment advisory firm has endured a turbulent and unsettled time since the February 2011 earthquake It has almost consistently been on the move from one premise to the next moving offices five times in the last five years

CEO Ian Perry explains that one day before the earthquake Hamilton Hindin Greene shifted from its office on Hereford Street in the old National Bank building where it had been based for 30 years to the BDO building on Victoria Street When the February quake struck it had just over a day to move everything out of the damaged building but luckily no one was hurt Ian says

In the following chaos it moved to a space above the Dinghyrsquos amp Outboards warehouse on Lincoln Road ldquothen that got knocked downrdquo In 2012 it shifted into a brand new building on Manchester Street called Westende House

ldquoIt was 140 percent up to code and we thought it was going to be our permanent location Then suddenly we got notice when the councilrsquos transport plan was released that the planners had decided they wanted to purchase the building to knock it down and widen the road

ldquoFinally in June 2014 we moved into where we are today at level 1 83 Victoria Street The office is located on the corner of Peterborough Street and hopefully wersquoll never have to move againrdquo

What Hamilton Hindin Greene can do for you Hamilton Hindin Greene is a boutique personalised and specialist investment advisory service It has evolved from solely operating as a share broker when it was established almost a century ago to the diverse investment advisory firm it is today

ldquoWe are no longer the traditional share broker who just deals in New Zealand shares We are investment advisors who use a diversified approach to investing in local and international shares and bonds to provide investment solutions to a range of peoplerdquo

Clients are paired with a personal advisor who takes them through the investment planning process to develop a risk profile for the particular objectives they want to achieve

The advisor then builds a bespoke profile using local Australian and international shares ldquoWe help them to select the right mix of good quality companies so over the long term theyrsquoll make an appropriate return for the risk they want to takerdquo

The advisor oversees the day to day running of clients portfolios and provides advice on potential outcomes of their investments ldquoOur advice is always customised to that particular individuals needsrdquo CT

The organ is the grandest of instruments Itrsquos been referred to as the closest to heaven instrument on earth with a sound thatrsquos powerful rich and deeply moving

Restoring heritage pieces to their former glory

Keeping such instruments in pristine working order is a highly specialised craft One company that has these skills in such a niche field is the South Island Organ Company (SIOC) based in Timaru

Established in 1968 SIOC has been in continuous operation now for nearly 50 years The company offers tuning and maintenance of organs historic restorations and artistic rebuilds as well as new organ builds throughout New Zealand and overseas They are widely recognised as one of the leading firms specialising in pipe organ restoration and rebuilding

The SIOC has worked on literally hundreds of organs Some of the projects have been very large and complex such as their current restoration of Wellingtonrsquos fabulous 1906 Town Hall organ In 1997 at St Patrickrsquos Basilica Fremantle they rebuilt the largest church organ in Australia In 2008 they rebuilt the organ in UWArsquos Winthrop Hall and in 2010 the interconnected organs of St Maryrsquos Cathedral both in the city of Perth

Back in New Zealand a very special project completed late last year was the rebuild of the historic organ of Knox Presbyterian Church in Christchurch after both church and organ were badly damaged in the 201011 earthquakes

SIOCrsquos 12 man team reconstructed the original organ added some more pipes and a digital transmission to facilitate the mobilised and

ldquoEverything we do is quality old-fashioned craftsmanship made to last or to be restored We are not in the throw away utility market but in the heritage market creating one-off pieces that are going to become art works of the futurerdquo CT

adapted 1914 console in accordance with the Churchrsquos stated mission to provide a flexible concert space in the inner city

This project is a clear example of the way SIOC can incorporate leading-edge technology such as computerised digital playing aids and playback systems into organ restorations and rebuilds without compromising heritage

There is however another aspect to the work of the SIOC which may seem unrelated ndash but actually there is a connection The company can also restore precious antique furniture and create new custom joinery

This side of the operation is led by Zack Bennett a specialist in antique furniture restoration in carving and in sculpture as well as in the design and manufacture of customised joinery Zack is about to direct restoration of the historic 19th century reredos in St Saviourrsquos church in Lyttelton ndash a highly intricate project involving earthquake damaged timber and ceramic tiles So diversification is definitely the name of the game for the SIOC

- Brooke Freeman Canterbury Rugby Football Union

ldquo

Striving for excellence and innovation the team at ENI has been involved in many successful projects during the years including the solar powered charging tables that have been installed around the city grandstands for Marist Park Hockey grounds the lsquoring of firersquo for the Crusaders pitch along with many others

With its own design team to help turn customersrsquo ideas into reality ENI is the complete package The companyrsquos capabilities and services include laser profile cutting punching folding powder coating CAD3D design draughting capabilities roto-moulding fabrication and assembly

An ever increasing social conscience about energy use and the effect it has on our environment is causing companies like Solar Bright to look into alternative options Using solar power technology the Christchurch-based team is making leaps and bounds with energy-generating products which are spreading throughout the city and beyond

You may recognise Solar Bright as the company behind the solar-powered table in the city centrersquos ReStart mall which visitors could use to charge their mobile devices that were running low

The table which was on loan to the council has now been relocated to a new home at Burnside High School Being the largest school in the South Island the team at Solar Bright donated the table to the school knowing they would get good use out of it

It seems the team at Solar Bright has not stopped since then They have created and installed five more tables that are dotted around the city have had interest from North Canterbury and Auckland City Council for similar products and have even installed a solar shelter in Linwood for people to charge their devices in

Managing director Nicola Martin explains that the hunger for electricity is growing dramatically and solar energy provides an effective solution

ldquoItrsquos just using what naturersquos already given us Itrsquos a renewable source of energy and means not having to rely solely on electricityrdquo

At the moment Solar Bright is also trialling the charging tables at the McDonaldrsquos restaurants on Moorhouse Ave and in Sydenham The idea is to see how the technology will work indoors and what kind of savings the chains will make on electricity bills as customers are increasingly using power points in store to charge their devices with

Nicola explained that these solar powered charging outlets are a great solution to electricity blackouts If power were ever cut from the city again people would have places like the tables and shelters to use to make sure their mobiles and devices stay on the green light making sure communication methods are protected during emergencies

But charging mobile phones and tablets ar e not the only good ideas Solar Bright has In 2012 Nicolarsquos husband and inventor of their products

Pat Martin realised the need for the detection of frost on roads and came up with PATeye technology

It is again solar powered via the sun and headlights from cars during the night and works the same sort of way that cats eyes currently do on roads around the world

With PATeye the devices installed on roads will flash blue LED lights when the air temperature reaches a certain level to warn people of the potential dangers of slipping

Due to regulations around the world it may take a little while for Solar Bright to weave through the legislation of installing the device on public roads but for now they are rolling out PATeyes on private roads car parks and pathways

Lincoln University Kiwi Rail Dunedin City Council Christchurch Polytechnic and even private NHS roads in the UK are just some of the institutions already using the technology

Solar Bright won two awards at this yearrsquos Champion Canterbury Awards for the Champion Producer Manufacturer as a small enterprise and the CDC Innovation Award for its ldquoinnovative sustainable energy-efficient lighting solutions which enhance safety and lifestyle both domestically and internationallyrdquo CT

Interior design is no longer a stand-alone field it blends seamlessly into so many other areas of life setting the scene for a larger picture incorporating art retail and fine foods

The art of interior designInterior designer and co-owner of Frobisher Interiors Ann-Marie Appleton saw the opportunity to bring together these complementing crafts into one location and create an entirely new interior design experience in Christchurch She and her team at Frobisher Interiors proudly opened the innovative new store on Manchester Street a year ago

The completely modern take on the store is unlike anything around ldquoWe are the only interior design business in the city that encompasses everything that interior design is about in one building Wersquove gone far beyond what is traditionally expected from an interior design shoprdquo

The industry leading store is a complete interior design shopping experience beautifully flowing uninterrupted from a coffee shop meeting space retail store fabric samples area to art gallery

The blended retail space offers everything and anything you might need ldquoThe draw card initially for customers especially for people who donrsquot know us as interior designers is the coffee shop and meeting space From there they can see beyond into the retail space which is adorned with beautiful little gifts and lovely things to buy for the home to larger items such as furniture and our interior design servicerdquo

Frobisher Interiors previously operated from a small villa in Merivale which was too small for

its needs The villa only just housed the team of staff restricted the number of samples on display and failed to properly showcase its work

When it came time to look for bigger premises it was a case of lsquogo big or go homersquo Ann-Marie says they looked at the big picture and made a massive wish list of everything they wanted in the new location then set to work making it a reality

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Designed to handle any load

cab chassis ldquoWe used to make the floor of a tipdeck to 6mm but with Hardox we can make them out of 4mm steel which makes a big difference to the weightrdquo

Quick turn around If you need a tipper body fast at a competitive rate Brokenshire Engineering is the team to call It has truck bodies in stock right now that can be custom-painted and fitted to a truck within two weeks But if you canrsquot find the right body in stock Brokenshire can custom-build paint install the pump oil tank and gas controls and fit it to the truck for just $45000 plus GST

Unparalleled products Brokenshirersquos ability to design and built anything for truck and trailers is unparalleled It builds new semi-tipper truck bodies and is the only business in the country that makes smooth surfaced runner-less tipper bodies

ldquoWe are the only people who make runner-less tipper bodies Most tipper bodies have got channels on them we donrsquot use channels This is the latest European designrdquo

It can also convert hydraulic truck breaks to an air break system and has three and five tonne full air axels on air suspension or springs available Henry has been in the transport engineering industry for 50 years and he says this experience in the industry means he can take on the difficult jobs that other people donrsquot want to CT

Manufacturing the award winning kitchen for Sugrue construction

Kitchens are the heart of the home Some of us build them up over time while others can start from scratch to create their idea of perfection

Giving homes award-winning style

Starting from scratch can be a daunting but also very worthy task especially if you have a team like Sugrue Construction behind you managing each step of the way

Offering professional and high quality construction services to those around the city the team at Sugrue are dedicated to making each project a success Working on mainly residential projects every piece of their work receives star treatment so customers are left completely satisfied even after the builders have left

Heart of the Home Kitchen Award winnerOne of their most recent projects a gorgeous home in Merivale Christchurch has been in the spotlight for receiving the 2015 Registered Master Builders House of the Year seal of approval

The project won the Heart of the Home Kitchen Award and received great acclaim from judges ldquoThe kitchen has been designed as an integral part of this homerdquo they said

ldquoA comprehensive selection of modern appliances and fixtures along with the large butlerrsquos pantry and adjacent large glass fronted wine cellar make this a functional kitchen

Beautifully finished in dark stained American Oak the space exudes elegance

ldquoThis contemporary kitchen containing a well-balanced but restrained palette of materials is designed and built for the ultimate in entertainingrdquo

A successful roadWith his team Steven has been able to complete a number of construction projects that have won them several other awards over the years

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Therersquos a big focus on getting everyone involved including parents some of whom go on to achieve their lifeguard award CT

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

Robbie McIlraith is the New Zealand general manager of Stellar Recruitment robbiestellarrecruitmentconz

News | Viewpoints

By Rt Hon John Key Prime Minister

Five years on Exit planning

Kevin Vincent is managing director of Vincent Consulting Limited wwwvincentconsultingconz

New Zealand is in good shape and Canterbury has a lot to look forward to in what will be another busy year ahead In 2015 we saw all elements of the rebuild gather momentum across the region ndash so much so that residential earthquake repairs are now almost complete Though the rebuild has had its challenges what has been achieved has been remarkable

Each and every time I return to Christchurch Irsquom heartened by the progress I see across the city and the region This is a tribute to the people and communities of Canterbury

Over the course of the past year Irsquove been privileged to open the new Christchurch tram extension attended the opening ceremony and first match of the ICC Cricket World Cup opened Breakfree Hotel unveiled a plaque at the newly opened Rydges Hotel and turned the sod on the Canterbury Earthquake Memorial

The $300 million Justice and Emergency Services Precinct is on track to be completed later this year and construction of the $800 million East and North Frame Residential Precinct will begin soon

Progress on a number of other projects will also continue at pace this year The Retail Precinct the Innovation Precinct and the rest of the Avon River Precinct are now well underway and design work has also started on the Metro Sports Facility

Next month we will mark the fifth anniversary of the February 2011 earthquake This provides us the opportunity to reflect how far wersquove come in rebuilding the city Since the first earthquake in 2010 wersquove stood by the people of Canterbury and we continue to back the recovery and rebuild ndash with the Governmentrsquos investment now reaching $165 billion

There is of course still much to be done The Government has played a huge role in the rebuild and we remain committed to supporting that but the time has come to begin stepping back and allowing local leadership to take more control

The Greater Christchurch Regeneration Bill which will come into force in April this year will ensure the regeneration of the region with a clear focus on the future

The city and its people have made incredible progress over the past five years I am proud of what has been achieved and am excited at what is to come next While there are still challenges ahead recent surveys have also shown that more people are feeling positive about their lives and the direction the city is heading in

Itrsquos important for New Zealand that Christchurch ndash as our second largest city and gateway to the South Island ndash succeeds and thrives

When it comes to exit planning the goal in most cases is to maximise the financial returns to the business owner however in cases of family succession this may be secondary Exit planning refers to the process of helping the business owner(s) leave or exit the business and ensures that a successful transition of ownership will transpire in a timely efficient and effective manner

Two types of plans need to be prepared in order for a business owner to successfully leave or exit the business

Personal goals The personal goals of the business owner(s) must be taken into account and plans must be made to ensure that ldquolife after transitionrdquo goes smoothly Personal financial planning and tax planning will need to be considered to ensure the maximum net proceeds and transfer of wealth

Business goals The business value of the enterprise needs to be maximised prior to the transition This will ensure the business owner(s) receive the maximum return on their investment Plans must be put in place to transfer the management roles and responsibilities that were previously performed by the owner(s) commonly called management succession

If a management succession plan is considered at least 12 to 36 months prior to selling then it is likely that internal structures will lower the risk of failure of a new business owner This will ultimately increase the value of the business

Why prepare an exit planNo matter how much you enjoy working in your business inevitably there will come a time when you will need to retire or sell your business

Most business owners are only concerned with selling their business to a third party Therefore the primary driver for preparing an exit plan is to maximise the value of the business in this sales process

To ensure you get the best price for your business if you decide to sell you need to start planning for such a sale well in advance You also need to consider the issues that could cause you problems

Most business owners feel their business is worth more than is justified by the marketplace Most business ownersrsquo books and records may fail to reflect the true worth of the business Most business owners have backdated compliance and financial statements

Most business owners have never reviewed their business from an ldquoattractiveness to a buyerrdquo perspective so there are fundamental problems that will drag the value down

In my last editorial I wrote about the key elements of building a high performance culture

Learning and development was a key discussion point and upon reflection Irsquove reaffirmed with myself the importance it plays with staff engagement

The reasons why an employee leaves an organisation be it a poor relationship with their supervisor or manager lack of career direction inadequate challenge in their position and for higher pay - all have direct ties to learning and development Why you might sayhellip well here is my view

It is all about making staff feel valued They will feel valued if you care care about their professional development and career path Ultimately the more someone excels professionally the better lives they will lead We all want to live better lives right

And donrsquot under estimate the fulfilment you get as the leader in seeing your staff grow and develop Fulfilment comes intrinsically in making a difference in someone elsersquos life and this can be done by engaging staff and a better understanding of their real career drivers their strengths and weaknesses where they want to take their career and so forth

By simply turning this into a conversation and subsequently a formal career development plan you can then partner with your employee to improve their skills

This can be done via a range of methods Internal and external training coaching mentoring leadership development on the job experience empowerment and delegation and various other means to enable a staff member to grow their skills

At Stellar we have used all of the above during the years What has proven most successful is ensuring a variety of learning styles are considered using a mixture of situational learning graphics and pictures round table discussions on the job experiencelearning Internet-based videos reading material and tests and leading by example as well as specialist external training forums - as long as itrsquos specific to the needs of the employee

What do you get in return I would say definitely improved engagement your employee sees you adding value to them by learning new skills and taking on new challenges (both building confidence) and they will see an improved career path

Secondly you have staff who then can be promoted from within allowing them to increase their earning potential pay There are endless examples of how effective this can be verses the unknown of hiring someone externally

But most importantly they simply value that you care creating an emotional attachment to you as their supervisor or manager

The importance of learning and development

An organisation cannot reach its potential if different parts are pulling in different directions A few years ago I left a professional partnership for this very reason and saw the same trait again in a national not-for-profit

Organisations as a whole need to understand where they are heading what theyre attempting to do and achieve short and long term

Similarly everyone should be aware of what the organisation holds to be important in how it operates ndash that there is an over-arching purpose and some rules to work by

But within an organisation there may be divisions branches teams ndash each with their own objectives and roles It is easy for these small groups (and that can be an individual) to be focused on their role or process with no thought to how that role contributes towards goals of the business

Consequently actions may be taken by one team which help achieve their own objectives but that are detrimental to other teams and therefore to the organisation as a whole

A challenge for management is to ensure each subset of the organisation is aware not only of its own objectives but is also aware of and encouraged to support the objectives of other teams it influences

By retaining a comprehension and consideration of the bigger picture internal elements of the organisation end up working cohesively to help the business perform its function more efficiently

This is achieved through repeated communication Cohesiveness and efficiency is promoted through communication of mutually consistent objectives and can be aided by properly targeted incentives

One area that can cause strife and inefficiency is poor role setting A company must be clear on the actions and processes that are critical to producing its desired output ndash and that output includes customer experience

These actions and processes must be assigned to specific teams and individuals who need to be held accountable for their implementation Determine what can be easily measured that provides confirmation that these critical processes are being performed satisfactorily Measure record review and provide feedback

Then work through all other necessary actions in the organisation and assign those tasks also Each person has a role and they are encouraged to perform that role efficiently in a way consistent with company rules of behaviour and objectivestargets that contribute to company goals

I guess this is whatrsquos really meant by getting ldquoall your ducks in a rowrdquo ndash have everyone working in the same direction

Recent research shows that as the global economy is becoming more intertwined diversifying a share portfolio across different sectors may be more important than diversifying across countriesWe talk a lot about the importance of diversifying a share portfolio across different geographies and with good reason An event or series of events can affect one country and not others What gets less airtime but just as important is sector diversification

A working paper by Morningstar Investment Management published late last year found that the sector a company operates in plays a much bigger role in determining its growth than where it happens to be listed In essence sector is more important than location

This suggests investors need to look beyond geographic diversification when constructing share portfolios and ensure they also have a prudent spread across different industries

The traditional reason to invest across a range of markets is to gain access to different drivers of growth and to spread risk Morningstar believes the benefit of geographic diversification is being diluted because major companies which are the ones most investors hold in their portfolios are becoming increasingly global

Morningstar studied 46 countries and instead of looking at total returns to assess the influence of sector versus country as previous studies have done they went one step further and looked at how these factors impacted earnings and dividend growth They took the view that what ultimately determines the value of a company and its performance is the earnings and dividend growth it generates

They found that industry has much more influence over a companyrsquos growth than its location This is more pronounced in developed markets where geographic diversification offers less benefit than in emerging markets

According to their research regional diversification has no discernable influence over the different earnings and dividend growth rates of companies across developed markets but industry explains more than 50 percent of this variability in growth Without delving too far into Morningstarrsquos rather complex regression analysis their research has a clear message for investors sector diversification matters

Eight ways to handle the holiday slowdown

It never fails to amaze me how entrepreneurs can cope with high volume sales and production periods but some get a little freaked when business slows down as can happen over the holidays

Wersquove had a rash of people asking us what they should do over the holidays to keep themselves sane and on the right track So here are a few of the suggestions

1 Get ready for the tax year Riveting huh Well maybe not but it will save you a ton in accountancy fees and also have you ready at the front of the line to get those annuals done and dusted and the tax position planned for the ensuing year Well prepared records means a reduction in time spent which spells savings to you

2 Communicate with your clients and customers more in the slow period to remain top of mind for when business speeds up Send holiday cards and dream up some holiday based special offers for customers

3 Declutter at work Take the time to do the filing cull old records throw out those records you can (usually over seven years old)

4 Take a break yourself Have a long weekend or longer enjoy a change of scenery visit family or friends do some industrial research on your competitors Just chill a bit

5 Study Find something that interests you or will help your business and go do some study Stimulate the brain expand your horizonshellip check out other options

6 Declutter at home Getting rid of things that you will do as soon as ldquoyou get around to itrdquo will clear your mind for bigger better and more fun things Itrsquos amazing what a drag these simple chores can be when you leave them undone

7 Shop Maybe for yourself but really we were thinking about things for the business Take the time to research plant and equipment you need source some training and courses

8 Visit family and friends When yoursquore busy you possibly donrsquot give these integral people enough time Drop in and say hi keep home fires burning keep friendships and relationships alive

Most importantly keep yourself in a positive mental frame of mind Negativity is like rust so keep it well at bay

If cash is your biggest stress then consult your business advisor knock up some current projections and approach your bank (with your accountant) with a view to a temporary loan facility Itrsquos best to be proactive in these things and not leave it to chance

Just checking ndash but you are thanking people arenrsquot youYou should be taking every opportunity to engage with your website visitors but one opportunity that is very commonly overlooked is the lsquothank yoursquo message when someone has made a purchase completed a form or subscribed to your newsletter

Most websites have a standard message saying something similar to lsquoThank you for your enquiry We will be in touch with you as soon as possiblersquo and thatrsquos it

While this is a nice polite (if not dull) message it has effectively ended the engagement with your website visitor There is so much more you could do to continue the interaction

Ideas for your lsquothank yoursquo page

Set expectations Clearly set expectations as to what is the next step and give exact timeframes as to when you will be in touch rather than just saying lsquoas soon as possiblersquo Make sure though that if you are saying you will be in touch within 24 hours or the product that has been purchased will be shipped in 48 hours that you keep to these timeframes There is nothing worse than having an expectation set only to be disappointed when the timeframes have not been met

Add contact details Yes your contact information is on your contact page (or it should be) but make it easy on the user by adding them again in case they have an immediate enquiry

Calls to action This is where you encourage further action so if someone has sent you an enquiry you could use the thank you page to ask them to subscribe to your newsletter or visit your Facebook page You might want to ask them to leave feedback on their experience so create a feedback form and link to it on the thank you page

Social media If you are active on social media then include the relevant icon links Having your website visitors following and interacting with you on other channels aside from your website is great for brand awareness and promotion

Building trust Why not add a testimonial to this page It reinforces your trust and credibility Alternatively direct them to your testimonials page if you have one so they can continue to interact with your website Including links to your blog posts videos or whitepapers you may have written will further enhance your brand credibility

Design You can be creative with the design of this page It can look totally different to your other pages but not so different of course that there is a brand disconnect when landing on this page

What we can learn about workplace design

At a Human Factors and Ergonomics conference in Melbourne earlier this year I attended a talk about developing the new learning environment and the importance ergonomics plays in this process

The attention to getting the learning space design right for school children really interests me After all it makes sense that school is a place where we help our children discover how they learn and work best and where we aim to set them up for life

Here in New Zealand the Ministry of Education has this approach clearly on its radar and has made the comment that its ldquoextensive research proved that students learnt best when they are Actively involved in decision making initiating learning collaborating together and making connections within and across learning spacesrdquo

Wouldnrsquot most of us like to be doing this in the workplace too

There seems to me a correlation between classroom and workspace design Traditionally schools and office blocks have both comprised of box shaped rooms leading off a main central corridor

In more recent times in an effort to nurture a more collaborative environment many offices have evolved into the lsquoopen plan workspacersquo however with lack of privacy and multiple distractions often being cited as problematic this style of working is not for everyone and this is where the business world could perhaps learn something

Schools are now leaning towards multi-option spaces designed to allow for large or small group work with places for teachers to work individually with children

Encouragingly I am starting to see this approach in new office designs now some open plan some small individual office space when people need somewhere quiet to focus for one-on-one interviews or phone calls larger spaces for meetings and just like schools the even bigger space for audio visual presentations or training or social events

It might seem obvious but again research by the Ministry of Education has shown that while good spaces enable they do not guarantee good educational outcomes But poor spaces will definitely impact on educational outcomes In the same way workspace design can definitely affect productivity as well as the health of the people working there with an impact on the bottom line of the business

Take a look around your premises ndash is there room for improvement and if so where might you start When it comes to workspace improvement a little change can make a big difference And if nothing else like a student starting an essay just think about it and hopefully the rest will come

1 Rent-a-Chookwwwrentachookcomau

Ever wanted a pet chicken but couldnrsquot quite commit Just rent one then You can rent one from Rent-a-Chook and if you decide you like it you can keep it They sell hens chicken feed coops and anything else a hen might need to survive in your back garden and have been doing so since 2001

The idea is to encourage people to have environmentally sustainable pets so Rent-a-Chook started a try-before-you-buy type business model The business even won a Green Award in 2009

2 Pet Rockwwwpetrockcom

If a chicken is too much for you to handle you could just buy a Pet Rock This business venture goes all the way back to 1975 when founder Gary Dahl joked about owning a pet rock while having a drink with some friends in a bar

The joke soon turned into reality when he recruited two colleagues as investors and started selling smooth rocks all packaged up in their own cardboard carry case (with air holes) complete with a care manual He reportedly made US$15 million

3 Square watermelonsLess a stand-alone business more a widespread craze square watermelons are what happens when good old mother nature asks us to stack round fruits on top of one another without the whole thing coming crashing down A Japanese farmer found a solution some 30 years ago to that problem and here we have the square watermelon

They are created by placing the fruit in a square box while still small and on the vine as it grows it takes the form of the box and et voilagrave Japan has been exporting the fruits all across the world with one USA Today report stating that they were fetching up to US$860 each in Russia in 2013

4 Bed bug Barrierswwwbedbugbarriercomau

Using eco-friendly bug-killing products you can get rid of pests and then use the DIY accessories that attach to the legs of your bed to stop the bugs getting in again (should they come back) It might sound crazy but itrsquos actually quite a neat idea if you need a pest control solution for your home or hotel

5 Grumpy Catwwwgrumpycatscom

Not your typical business venture but the internet sensation that is Grumpy Cat has put online animal fames on the map From one picture posted to Redditcom of her frowning pose in 2012 the cat Tardar Sauce has become the face of all things crabby

She has a book a website an abundance of merchandise and even starred in her own movie Grumpy Catrsquos Worst Christmas Ever A report by a British newspaper claimed the cat had earned over US$100m but that was later denied by the owner

In January 2013 UK enterprise website realbusinesscouk wrote an article about crazy business ideas that actually worked Rated number one on their list was the notorious dating website Ashley Madison ndash you know the site that was recently hacked and had its membersrsquo details wiped across the internet

Well what was once considered a ldquocrazy ideardquo is now known worldwidehellip perhaps not for the best reasons but the concept still took off So maybe donrsquot bin that wild business concept yoursquove been sitting on just yet

Here are a few other examples that prove how successful lsquocrazyrsquo can be sometimes

6 YouTubewwwyoutubecom

YouTube has become the king of online video since it started in 2005 But not only has it made its original founders and current owners Google very rich it has also made its content creators pretty well off too

The site contains channels which people have created to showcase talk about whatever they feel like and many have collected a following large enough to create a full time job out of

One example would be user PewDiePie or Felix Kjellberg a Swedish guy known for his loud video game reviews and colourful use of language According to Forbes he reportedly earned US$74m last year alone and has over 389 million subscribers on his channel That is a lot of cash and a lot of viewers

The relationship between technology and business is of course ubiquitous

Hi-tech tools By Christelle Savry

Here at Irontech we recently completed the design and development of a web-based production system for CNC machine control The solution brings state of the art Software as a Service (SaaS) architecture to the heart of day to day manufacturing operations and showcases the technologyrsquos multiple benefits

Our customerrsquos vision was to develop a modern system where production data would flow seamlessly between the various manufacturing entities allowing the companyrsquos workforce to focus on core high value tasks

As is often the case in this conservative sector the ultimate goals were to improve productivity and quality while reducing wastage In this case the business owner also wanted to design a solution that would be generic enough to be licensed to other manufacturers

With this in mind the team at Irontech identified that a custom SaaS solution was most appropriate to meet the various requirements and delivered a web-based portal hosted in the Microsoft Azure cloud The design also allows for intermittent offline scenarios with automatic data resynchronisation

An integral part of the production process the bespoke portal allows end customer project components to be assigned to individual CNC machines located on the various sites around the country Various factors such as delivery location and current machine load are used to determine optimal workload distribution for the best productivity outcome

Using Restful Web API technology the CNC machines connect to the web portal to retrieve and push production data in real time This cutting edge software has successfully turned a labour intensive system into a fully automated highly efficient process contributing to a higher productivity and a reduced rate of human error

The portal allows other companies to register and manage their own production data completely independently Secure communication with third party software applications is performed using a documented platform-independent web API Companies can therefore design their own interface tailored to their environments and equipment A decentralised directory service can also be provided to allow for single log-in

Like cloud computing the line-of-business SaaS model reduces the total cost of ownership of software by way of economy of scale It optimises the usage of the underlying resources ndash think hardware and services ndash to allow small companies to access high tech solutions at a fraction of the cost of a traditional equivalent lsquoon-premisesrsquo software

In essence the SaaS adds value to the day to day operation of customers factories and the licensing revenue helps recoup the development cost of the system It even generates its own income stream making such an investment highly attractive

Working from home is a very attractive option for many people It offers great flexibility and a work-life balance that we all dream of And as more people seek a better balanced lifestyle an increasing number of professionals are turning this dream into a reality

You may be chasing this goal yourself Either by establishing your own start-up company from the comfort of your home or your current employer might have offered you the opportunity to retire from the office cubicle and relocate to home

But before you pack up your desk and sing sayonara to your work colleagues there are a few factors to take into consideration

While yes there are many benefits of working from home there are some pitfalls to be aware of It is a good idea to weigh up both the negatives and the positives before you throw an office leaving party

ADVANTAGES FlexibilityWorking from home opens up a world of possibilities Having the freedom to choose your own work hours is one of the most notable changes but there are many other elements that yoursquoll have control over For example working from home gives you the freedom and flexibility over your work environment which encompasses the temperature lightening sound such as the choice to play music or not and your overall comfort and atmosphere Whatever mood makes you the happiest and most productive you can create

FocusWorking from home cuts out all of the typical workplace distractions and disturbances yoursquoll no longer encounter annoying interruptions unimportant meetings or distractions from co-workers So it is easy to focus in a calm quiet environment

Substantial savingsThere are many hidden costs associated with working in a traditional office environment from the cost of fuel used while driving back and forth to work parking charges the temptation to buy

expensive lunches and pricey work wardrobes if you are required to dress professionally And of course if you have children there is the cost of childcare But by working from home all of these expenses are literally gone and yoursquore bound to notice a welcome saving

Higher work output Removed from the distractions and stresses of the workplace people often feel a lot happier and as a result work more efficiently and at the end of the day are more productive

DISADVANTAGES Loneliness One of the main disadvantages of working from home that isnrsquot often anticipated is the isolation experienced working alone People often miss the hive of social interaction at the workplace For many people it is their primary environment to meet people and make friends And as a consequence professionals working from home often feel disconnected isolated and depressed

ForgottenBy not physically showing your face in the office on a daily bases you can find yourself

being overlooked and forgotten You may be left out of important company decisions and changes or worse in danger of being overlooked for promotion in favour of staff who are more visibly fighting for the position

Interruptions

Although yoursquove eliminated office distractions a whole new raft of distractions arise from working at home - and they can often be worse Home interruptions can include children friends pets neighbours or the temptation to get chores around the house done To avoid these distractions you need to set clear work hours and let your family and friends know you are unavailable during this time

Work doesnrsquot end

If you fail to create a clear separation between your work and home life you can be at risk of working endlessly Because there is no one enforcing a strict nine to five work day people who work from home often find themselves working longer hours This may be triggered by pressures to prove themselves and their abilities in this arrangement

News |emspWorking life

One of the biggest problems with attempting to change an organisationrsquos culture is that culture is not something you can see feel and touch This doesnrsquot mean itrsquos not real Itrsquos very real ndash particularly in the way it influences our daily lives

Culture is all about behavioural norms expectations placed upon us by the system within which we function

At the societal level we constantly behave according to such behavioural norms When we meet people for the first time we shake their hands But why do we do this Itrsquos because itrsquos lsquowhat we dorsquo ndash itrsquos expected of us

Why do we shake hands and not bump feet or rub elbows We have lsquolearnedrsquo to do it As children we see our parents do it and over time it becomes a cultural normrsquo

Similarly in organisations there are certain lsquoways of doing thingsrsquo In some organisations people have learned that they should simply

Swimming against the tide

Balancing acts | The pros and cons of working from homeBy Laura Baker

keep themselves out of trouble In others they have learned to make sure they never make a mistake In some they have learned that honesty can be career limiting and in others they have learned that itrsquos really a competition to be seen and noticed

After 50 years of research into the factors that influence organisational performance there are very few today who would not rank organisational culture as critical to business success

Customers experience an organisationrsquos culture when they communicate or interface with that organisation Staff experience it every day Friends and partners of staff hear about it in the stories that people tell about their work

Organisational culture is the single biggest reason improvement initiatives fail If an organisationrsquos culture has lsquotaughtrsquo people to simply lsquodo their jobrsquo or always unquestioningly obey the rules there is simply no way that any improvement (or culture change) programme is going to work without addressing that existing culture

Take someone who works in a job that has minimal autonomy and thus little opportunity to think within a culture that does not

welcome honest upward feedback and then ask people to lsquouse their initiativersquo or lsquobe creativersquo or lsquobe accountablersquo and yoursquore really wasting your time (and money)

An organisationrsquos culture either works for it or against it particularly in times of change and adaptation

Being able to clearly identify what aspects of the culture help and what aspects hinder is vital in being able to address culture change initiatives that actually work

Thirty years of research into organisational culture has led Human Synergistics to identify the cultural norms that help promote effective performance and those which inhibit it

The 12 norms are clustered into three groups While there is much more behind each norm than those descriptions listed below these are suitable lsquoone linersrsquo for each

Norms that represent AggressiveDefensive behaviours

bull Find fault in others

bull Be lsquotoughrsquo and powerfulrsquo

bull Compete rather than cooperate

bull Never ever make a mistake

Norms that represent Constructive behavioursbull Strive for excellencebull Learn and growbull Support one anotherbull Build relationshipsPlease those in positions of authority Norms that represent PassiveDefensive behavioursbull Simply follow the rulesbull Push decisions upwardsbull Avoid blame

Each organisation will have its own combination of these norms The more the Constructive norms prevail the more effective the organisationrsquos performance The more the PassiveDefensive norms prevail the more the organisation functions like a non-responsive bureaucracy and the more AggressiveDefensive norms prevail the organisation operates as a bunch of individuals with the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing

By measuring culture it can be lsquoprofiledrsquo Once profiled it can be lsquoseenrsquo Once seen it moves beyond being an intangible concept to a tangible reality Once lsquorealrsquo it can be changed

The Cassels family has contributed a lot to the economy of the city with various businesses sprawled throughout Alasdair co-owns the CBD Bar on Madras St as well as the brewery and shopping centre and has recently been working on a project to clean up the Heathcote River

The river itself is something Alasdair seems to dote on Itrsquos partly why he bought the site that The Tannery sits on way back in 1994

ldquoIt told a story straight away of Christchurch in its early days because Christchurch was really settled on the banks of the Heathcoterdquo Alasdair explains

Read anything about Alasdair in the paper or online and yoursquoll probably hear about the Heathcote and Christchurchrsquos early days He canrsquot help but let his passion for the city show Itrsquos understandable though ndash he seems to have known nothing but success in Christchurch

I first met Alasdair on a drizzly spring morning I had met him in the atrium of The Tannery to talk about the site and the shape of the city in general (who else to talk to about the city but a lover of it) but our conversation drifted more towards another of his passions craft beer

He has been making his own beer at home for years and even taught his children how to do it so of course he has set up his own brewery

The Cassels amp Sons Brewery was officially established in 2009 and started out exactly where it sits now in The Brewery bar of The Tannery It got off to a shaky start with the earthquakes following two years after it opened but that didnrsquot knock their confidence

for long In fact the craft beer industry in New Zealand as a whole is booming right now

According to the ANZ New Zealand Craft Beer Industry Insights 2015 report craft beer sales have increased 42 percent in the last year alone Beer exports to Asia have also doubled in the last two years with the Asian market potential being 750 times the size of New Zealand so it would seem now is the time to export

When we spoke Cassels amp Sons didnrsquot yet have the capacity to export due to hand bottling each beer and predominantly using kegs for draft beer or bottles sold at local markets to sell their product But things are very quickly about to change

The Brewery is situated at the entrance of The Tannery and houses their public bar kitchen and hand-built wood fire kettle which they used to brew their first batch of pilsner (itrsquos one of only two in the world according to Alasdair)

If you take a stroll to the bottom end of The Tannery car park you will come across a second building ndash one of Cassels amp Sonsrsquo bigger breweries - itrsquos here that big changes are about to be made

The brewery has just acquired a bottling plant they imported from Czech Republic It is the biggest bottling machine in the craft beer industry in New Zealand and should be up and running in February

The potential this $1m machine carries for Cassels amp Sons is huge The machine a Moravek 21244 Tribloc has a maximum production rate of 7000 bottles per hour and is capable of bottling over six million litres per year which more than out does the current hand-bottling methods of the brewery

ldquoBeer is easier to make and serve in a bar Once you start bottling it itrsquos got to be really technically made otherwise on the way to

market the flavour goes the bubbles go The more sophisticated the machine is the better chance yoursquove got of getting it to market so exporting and everything else becomes an optionrdquo explains Alasdair

He has hopes of bottling other breweriesrsquo beers too ndash another way of giving back to the community

When I met Alasdair in The Tannery he was sat with two other gentlemen clearly well at home in the Victorian-arcade inspired centre surrounded by his friends

We eventually shifted into the corner of a coffee shop to chat Something I didnrsquot realise at the time but quickly caught on to was just how popular Alasdair is Even later when we were taking pictures in the atrium people continuously made jokes with him tried to have a chat and just generally looked his way

Whether thatrsquos because he literally owns the place or because people have so much respect for him Irsquom not sure but even just spending an hour with him I can understand the pull he has

The Tannery is buzzing with business and visitors Itrsquos a really positive place to be

The centre didnrsquot really come to life until after the earthquakes because as Alasdair tells me for one reason or another before then he had struggled to get planning permission from the city council to do anything with the site It wasnrsquot until after the earthquakes that The Tannery began to transform into what it is today

ldquoIt was an absolute tragedy and all of us were shockedrdquo says Alasdair ldquoBut amongst all that was a sense of excitement There really was a sense of being able to do somethingrdquo

He explains that when the city centre was shut down in the aftermath a lot of boutique family-run businesses needed a new place to settle and The Tannery offered them the perfect spot ldquoIt was safety in numbers so dozens of them came hererdquo

The building itself had to be re-built but it meant that Alasdair was able to turn his dreams for the Woolston community into a reality

ldquoI wanted something that was peaceful and uplifting when you walked into it I wanted to make people feel better about things and also give them a chance to escape from the city or from at that stage the beaten up city

ldquoI wanted to create a fantasy and fairytale place which wasnrsquot as hard as it seemsrdquo

Although it took a few years to really get the centre and the businesses it housed off the ground the $20m project now has 65

happy tenants meaning all leases are under occupation A few more expansions are even in the works with Alice in Videoland building a two-screen cinema at the south end of the atrium with the Metropolitan Lounge going above it (a conference centre art gallery)

The news came late last year that Alasdair was planning on selling 45 percent of his shares for The Tannery in an aim to earn back some of the well-spent money he has dedicated to it

He is planning on channelling the money into other projects around Woolston but he is keeping the details under lock and key for now At this point in time itrsquos early days but Alasdair is confident that his shares will sell pretty easily so he can start making tracks on his next plan

He has big hopes for the city overall not just his little corner of it by the Heathcote river

ldquoIn the 50s and 60s Christchurch was a big capital of the South Island We had head offices bigger government departments and big banks here

ldquoNew Zealand went through an economic reform in the 80s and what happened then was head offices and bigger government departments were taken away from Christchurch and went to Auckland and Wellington so we shrunk and the need for a big city shrunk and we were only left with a few parts of town that really were used properly

ldquoCities like to be compact they like to be dense so they work better when therersquos lots of people and things to do and I think this new plan wersquove got will solve that problemrdquo explains Alasdair

Although the majority of Alasdairrsquos focus remains on the Woolston side of town he does talk a fair bit about the city Itrsquos clear he has big hopes for it Hersquos positive of the outcome and knows Christchurch is headed in the right direction

ldquoThe biggest thing we need in town is patience It might not be for a while but it will develop slowly and it will be a good placerdquo

At the end of our interview Alasdair took me along to the Brewery Bar to proudly show off their wood fire kettle He brought it up a few times during our conversation so hersquos clearly proud of it

And it is impressive It took him and his son-in-law six months to build by hand I guess that took his patience too and it must have been worth the wait I hear a Cassels amp Sons pint is damn good wwwthetanneryconz wwwcasselsbreweryconz

Cassels amp Sonsrsquo new Moravek bottling machine has a maximum production rate of 7000 bottles per hour and is capable of bottling over six million litres per year

News |emspMind matters

Mental health days Why worryThe reality is that we work long and hard to do the job wersquove been assigned to do so achieving that worklife balance concept can seem redundant

Sometimes we simply just need a day off to sort ourselves out mentally in order to prevent burnout remain productive and increase our work performance when we return to the job

We often associate days off work with a physical illness but mental wellbeing is generally overlooked Keeping up with everything in life and work can become too much and our brains turn into mush

While a little worry and concern can focus the mind being overly stressed and unhappy isnrsquot good for your health and it isnrsquot good for those around you either Sometimes we (especially workaholics) find it difficult to give ourselves time off work because

We worry about how it might affect other people in the workplace

bull We think we wonrsquot be able to keep up with the workload when we return

bull We worry wersquore missing out

bull We feel guilty or pressured

bull We need the money

bull Or we think we donrsquot need the time off

But if yoursquore physically and emotionally exhausted suffering from sleepless nights feeling constantly stressed snappy at work and home or generally not caring about your work yoursquore on the road to having a meltdown and potentially committing career suicide

Whatrsquos worse working too hard instead of working smart to the best of your ability yet making mistakes - or taking a day off so you can get back to work re-energised and complete tasks to a high standard

While one day off wonrsquot cast away deep underlying stresses and strains it does allow you to step away from the scene of the crime and grab some much needed headspace

If you donrsquot want to eat into your holiday pay ask your boss to take an unpaid half day or full

History is full of poets philosophers and sages espousing the benefits of a positive disposition But it seems scientists disagreeWhy Because it pays to worry a little bit - quite literally

A study published in the Journal of Behavioural Decision Making in 2012 monitored 213 peoplersquos behaviour in relation to a simulated gambling game The study found participants in a sad or worrisome mood were more likely to make logical bets they knew had a higher likelihood of winning even after a series of losses

Whereas positive happy bettors were quicker and more likely to play what they knew was a riskier move Their jovial outlook influenced them to make unpredictable decisions on gut feelings despite the opportunity to play a logical bet

The study shows you are more likely to make winning decisions while you are in an anxious worried state of mind

But these findings donrsquot just apply to gambling The positive effect of this negative feeling translates into the business world In moderation worry can work wonders for your career

Sometimes a negative attitude is actually beneficial trait to have because it allows you to look at a situation in a more realistic light Feeling worried means you are more likely to make a logical decision with a higher outcome of success compared with your cheerful counterpart in the same situation

There is no danger of over promising and under delivering because you are thinking realistically Worry helps to rein in out of this world ideas it also assists with assessing the risks and obstacles in front of you

Worry can be the side effect of a strong desire to achieve perfection And in the pursuit of perfection worry can prompt you to double check and even triple check your work Without worry there is a risk you can become complacent a little too relaxed and more likely to make a mistake

Under a moderate amount of worry you are capable of learning and remembering new information more effectively This is because the primary stress hormone cortisol improves learning and memory at moderate concentrations compared to low or high concentrations

Worry has also been linked to accelerate career promotions and overall success An international study in Perspectives on Psychological Science in 2007 monitored 118519 peoplersquos careers

The study found those who are less happy attain higher salaries and more education while people who are very happy tend to form more rewarding relationships

People who are more susceptible to worry consequently exhibit the following personality traits

PROSbull More attentive to detailbull More motivated to work bull More polite and attentive to othersbull Vigilant for risks and threats

CONS bull Overcautious bull Less creativebull At risk of becoming too stressedbull More closed minded

In comparison worry-free people exhibit these contrasting behaviours

PROSbull More creativebull Form better relationshipsbull Healthierbull Willing to explore

CONSbull Prone to overlooking threats and dangersbull Open to unwise risks bull More gulliblebull Lacking appropriate embarrassment or guilt

By Laura Baker

day off And remember you donrsquot have to tell your co-workers that yoursquore taking a mental health day just that you wonrsquot be available

Whether you intend to be busy carrying out chores around the house exercising enjoying some retail therapy or you intend to do the complete opposite and catch up on sleep for the whole day a mental health day is whatever it means to you to be completely free

Just remember to plan ahead by informing your boss and colleagues of your leave in advance so they can work around it This way you wonrsquot need to worry about how your absence may affect others

And make sure when you take your mental health day work stays at work ndash donrsquot bring it home with you Turn your mobile phone off donrsquot check work related emails and certainly donrsquot take home any paperwork Emergencyrsquos only please

At the end of the day your health is important Provide some relief by paying attention to yourself and live a healthier life

Just remember to plan

ahead by informing your

your leave in advance so

they can work around it

Health and safety is paramount for operators involved in the use of elevated work platforms

So when it comes time to validating your competency you want to choose the best training course available

Accessman is New Zealandrsquos leading specialised hire company providing scissor lifts cherry pickers knucklebooms and mobile scaffolding Itrsquos now leading the field as an accredited IPAF training provider to complement the existing Silvercard NZQA training it currently offers

The company launched the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) accredited training programme throughout the South Island in November as one of two companies nationwide to do so

The internationally recognised course was developed by leading industry professionals and is aimed at users of elevated work platforms generally in the construction industry and certifies operators in the machines of their choice IPAF training conforms to the international standard ISO 18878 - Mobile Elevating Work Platforms Operator training and ISO 9001 - Quality Management Systems

The Accessman Group general manager Lena Harrington says health and safety is a priority not only within the company but throughout the industry So when Accessman saw the opportunity to provide the renowned IPAF training programme it jumped at the chance

ldquoI think the marketplace needed an alternative qualification IPAFrsquos rigid testing structure ensures that only competent operators are awarded the

qualification which provides employers with peace of mind that their staff have been thoroughly trained ndash they will not pass unless they are competentrdquo

IPAF training was founded in the UK and today has 600 training outlets worldwide which are responsible for qualifying over 100000 people per year IPAF recognised the Accessman Group had the platform required to release the qualification to the New Zealand market in partnership with Total Access in the North Island

To become an accredited training centre a senior IPAF auditor was brought out from the UK to put Accessmanrsquos training staff through the intensive instructorrsquos course

ldquoObviously our staff had to have a significant amount of experience within the industry before they were eligible to become IPAF instructors some of whom are also qualified to train both IPAF and Silvercard NZQA The training venues also had to meet some fairly stringent requirementsrdquo Lena says

The course is comprised of both practical and theory based learning with assessments The classes are kept small to maximise individual learning and the training centres are regularly audited to ensure they meet and adhere to the IPAF standards Training centres also receive regular updates to ensure that attendees are receiving the best training possible Attendees of IPAF training receive a Powered Access Licence (PAL) card The PAL card is valid for five years and is internationally recognised It can also be instantly verified by anyone via an online database which not only includes a photo of the card holder but details of the card

Five reasons to attend an IPAF training programmeThe PAL card is valid for five yearsThe PAL card is internationally recognisedThe card can be instantly verified via an online databaseExpert training by leading industry professionals in small class sizesOn completion participants receive a PAL card log book and an operator handbook

expiration date and machines the card holder can operate In addition they also receive a log book to record their machine use and an operator handbook

Lena says the PAL card is useful to the large number of contractors from overseas in the city thanks to its international recognition ldquoContractors are coming and going all the time in Christchurch at the moment so it makes sense that they have a qualification that is transferablerdquo In addition all reputable manufacturers of elevated work platforms worldwide are members of IPAF an alignment that strengthens the service the not for profit federation provides

Proudly Supporting Window Treatments for over 10 Years

As New Zealandrsquos largest independently owned blind shutter awning and insect screen manufacturing and retail company Window Treatments offer products that follow the latest international trends

The company has retail stores and mobile showrooms throughout the country including nine across the South Island

It has an exciting range of new products available for the summer season including exterior awnings that are designed for longevity in harsh coastal environments

Owner Graeme Rose says the Palladio cassetted folding arm awning is a new generation awning ideal for home patios shops and kiosks offering unobstructed passage underneath It is made from aluminium marine-grade stainless steel fittings and fabrics designed for the outdoors

ldquoPalladio is fully cassetted so it protects the fabric when the awning is retractedrdquo he says

ldquoIt can cover everything up to seven metres in width and a projection of up to 36 metres Itrsquos very large and is ideal for creating that indoor-outdoor environment where you want sun or wind protectionrdquo

Other new awnings from Window Treatments include the Italia box radial arm awning which is ideal for both residential and commercial installations and the Terrazza pergola awning

Graeme says another exciting new product is the Securo side roller blind which rolls from side to side rather than up and down like a conventional roller blind

ldquoItrsquos particularly good for ranch sliders where you need some light control and it also doubles as an insect screen The beauty is you can roll it back just enough to get outside while still having your ranch slider open With a conventional roller blind yoursquod have to roll it right up to go through the doorrdquo

Focus | Tekapo Springs

Tekapo Springs is a year-round attraction beloved by visitors from across the globe In early 2015 the resort announced plans to open new multi-million dollar facilities for visitors families and locals to enjoy from late December onwards ndash and itrsquos finally here

New pools take Tekapo Springs to the next level

The new additions include three new pool areas including an aqua playspray area for kids and teens a beach accessed kidsrsquo pool and an adultsrsquo deep water pool

The pools all run at cooler water temperatures of 33 degrees Celsius for the kidsrsquo pool and aqua play area and 28 degrees Celsius for the adultsrsquo pool

Tekapo Springs owner and managing director Karl Burtscher says the aim is to offer a dditional entertaining aquatic options for families children and adults He also says the need to offer a wider temperature range of pool water was important especially during the summer months

Karl explains that the new additions completely open up the resort and create even more

opportunities for guests to gaze upon Lake Tekapo while enjoying the facilities

ldquoYou can now get down to pool level and really appreciate the views from the new adult pool in particular which quite possibly will have the best overall views down Lake Tekapo of any of the pools ndash old and newrdquo

The new pool additions themed lsquoHigh Country Tarnsrsquo each with its own distinctive shade of aqua green ndash were designed to complement the three existing hot pools and are part of Tekapo Springsrsquo long term growth strategy for expanding its aquatic attractions and offering a wider range of water temperatures and features

The new pools will also run through winter depending on outside weather temperatures

Focus | Tekapo Springs

A tight scheduleSince the first sod was turned on September 1 2015 progress was swift and exciting With the new pools taking shape and initial landscaping underway Tekapo Springs staff were thrilled to see dreams become reality

As of November 25 fibre glass spraying and painting of the adultsrsquo pool had been completed with fibre glass spraying commencing on the childrenrsquos cold pool a few days after

Karl says as the pools literally took shape on a daily basis staff could start to get a sense of what they would be delivering to guests

A helping handThe design concept of the pools came from Karl himself and he even completed some of the earth and civil works while co-ordinating the whole project

Although Karl played a major hand in bringing the new additions to life he received a wide slot of help from both local companies and others from around New Zealand

Those involved included H2O Water Systems from Auckland doing the pool plant High Country Carpentry from Fairlie doing all the building and formwork Stephen Styles Block and Brick doing block work Murray Linton Concrete doing concrete laying Reflex Industrial doing fibre glassing and Damon Smith Electrical and Prolec (Professional Electric) from Christchurch doing controls and automation

The perfect spotTekapo Springs is nestled on the shores of stunning Lake Tekapo boasting a unique mix of summer and winter recreation and relaxation

Open 364 days a year the attraction already includes three existing outdoor hot pools a steam and sauna facility an ice rink water slides summer and winter tubing a day spa cafeacute and fully licensed bar

The company has evolved into a year-round ldquomust-dordquo on the bucket list of many visitors to the South Island as well as stamping its mark as an important centrepiece in the Tekapo community

The new pools are a testament to the companyrsquos drive to grow and develop while continuously exceeding customer expectations The three new pools help step-up Tekapo Springsrsquo summer offering and put it among one of the countryrsquos leading tourism operators CT

Finance | Hamilton Hindin Greene

Christchurch businesses are all too familiar with the struggles and obstacles that come with upheaving an office and moving to a new location One local business that understands the struggle all too well is Hamilton Hindin Greene

The investment advisory firm has endured a turbulent and unsettled time since the February 2011 earthquake It has almost consistently been on the move from one premise to the next moving offices five times in the last five years

CEO Ian Perry explains that one day before the earthquake Hamilton Hindin Greene shifted from its office on Hereford Street in the old National Bank building where it had been based for 30 years to the BDO building on Victoria Street When the February quake struck it had just over a day to move everything out of the damaged building but luckily no one was hurt Ian says

In the following chaos it moved to a space above the Dinghyrsquos amp Outboards warehouse on Lincoln Road ldquothen that got knocked downrdquo In 2012 it shifted into a brand new building on Manchester Street called Westende House

ldquoIt was 140 percent up to code and we thought it was going to be our permanent location Then suddenly we got notice when the councilrsquos transport plan was released that the planners had decided they wanted to purchase the building to knock it down and widen the road

ldquoFinally in June 2014 we moved into where we are today at level 1 83 Victoria Street The office is located on the corner of Peterborough Street and hopefully wersquoll never have to move againrdquo

What Hamilton Hindin Greene can do for you Hamilton Hindin Greene is a boutique personalised and specialist investment advisory service It has evolved from solely operating as a share broker when it was established almost a century ago to the diverse investment advisory firm it is today

ldquoWe are no longer the traditional share broker who just deals in New Zealand shares We are investment advisors who use a diversified approach to investing in local and international shares and bonds to provide investment solutions to a range of peoplerdquo

Clients are paired with a personal advisor who takes them through the investment planning process to develop a risk profile for the particular objectives they want to achieve

The advisor then builds a bespoke profile using local Australian and international shares ldquoWe help them to select the right mix of good quality companies so over the long term theyrsquoll make an appropriate return for the risk they want to takerdquo

The advisor oversees the day to day running of clients portfolios and provides advice on potential outcomes of their investments ldquoOur advice is always customised to that particular individuals needsrdquo CT

The organ is the grandest of instruments Itrsquos been referred to as the closest to heaven instrument on earth with a sound thatrsquos powerful rich and deeply moving

Restoring heritage pieces to their former glory

Keeping such instruments in pristine working order is a highly specialised craft One company that has these skills in such a niche field is the South Island Organ Company (SIOC) based in Timaru

Established in 1968 SIOC has been in continuous operation now for nearly 50 years The company offers tuning and maintenance of organs historic restorations and artistic rebuilds as well as new organ builds throughout New Zealand and overseas They are widely recognised as one of the leading firms specialising in pipe organ restoration and rebuilding

The SIOC has worked on literally hundreds of organs Some of the projects have been very large and complex such as their current restoration of Wellingtonrsquos fabulous 1906 Town Hall organ In 1997 at St Patrickrsquos Basilica Fremantle they rebuilt the largest church organ in Australia In 2008 they rebuilt the organ in UWArsquos Winthrop Hall and in 2010 the interconnected organs of St Maryrsquos Cathedral both in the city of Perth

Back in New Zealand a very special project completed late last year was the rebuild of the historic organ of Knox Presbyterian Church in Christchurch after both church and organ were badly damaged in the 201011 earthquakes

SIOCrsquos 12 man team reconstructed the original organ added some more pipes and a digital transmission to facilitate the mobilised and

ldquoEverything we do is quality old-fashioned craftsmanship made to last or to be restored We are not in the throw away utility market but in the heritage market creating one-off pieces that are going to become art works of the futurerdquo CT

adapted 1914 console in accordance with the Churchrsquos stated mission to provide a flexible concert space in the inner city

This project is a clear example of the way SIOC can incorporate leading-edge technology such as computerised digital playing aids and playback systems into organ restorations and rebuilds without compromising heritage

There is however another aspect to the work of the SIOC which may seem unrelated ndash but actually there is a connection The company can also restore precious antique furniture and create new custom joinery

This side of the operation is led by Zack Bennett a specialist in antique furniture restoration in carving and in sculpture as well as in the design and manufacture of customised joinery Zack is about to direct restoration of the historic 19th century reredos in St Saviourrsquos church in Lyttelton ndash a highly intricate project involving earthquake damaged timber and ceramic tiles So diversification is definitely the name of the game for the SIOC

An ever increasing social conscience about energy use and the effect it has on our environment is causing companies like Solar Bright to look into alternative options Using solar power technology the Christchurch-based team is making leaps and bounds with energy-generating products which are spreading throughout the city and beyond

You may recognise Solar Bright as the company behind the solar-powered table in the city centrersquos ReStart mall which visitors could use to charge their mobile devices that were running low

The table which was on loan to the council has now been relocated to a new home at Burnside High School Being the largest school in the South Island the team at Solar Bright donated the table to the school knowing they would get good use out of it

It seems the team at Solar Bright has not stopped since then They have created and installed five more tables that are dotted around the city have had interest from North Canterbury and Auckland City Council for similar products and have even installed a solar shelter in Linwood for people to charge their devices in

Managing director Nicola Martin explains that the hunger for electricity is growing dramatically and solar energy provides an effective solution

ldquoItrsquos just using what naturersquos already given us Itrsquos a renewable source of energy and means not having to rely solely on electricityrdquo

At the moment Solar Bright is also trialling the charging tables at the McDonaldrsquos restaurants on Moorhouse Ave and in Sydenham The idea is to see how the technology will work indoors and what kind of savings the chains will make on electricity bills as customers are increasingly using power points in store to charge their devices with

Nicola explained that these solar powered charging outlets are a great solution to electricity blackouts If power were ever cut from the city again people would have places like the tables and shelters to use to make sure their mobiles and devices stay on the green light making sure communication methods are protected during emergencies

But charging mobile phones and tablets ar e not the only good ideas Solar Bright has In 2012 Nicolarsquos husband and inventor of their products

Pat Martin realised the need for the detection of frost on roads and came up with PATeye technology

It is again solar powered via the sun and headlights from cars during the night and works the same sort of way that cats eyes currently do on roads around the world

With PATeye the devices installed on roads will flash blue LED lights when the air temperature reaches a certain level to warn people of the potential dangers of slipping

Due to regulations around the world it may take a little while for Solar Bright to weave through the legislation of installing the device on public roads but for now they are rolling out PATeyes on private roads car parks and pathways

Lincoln University Kiwi Rail Dunedin City Council Christchurch Polytechnic and even private NHS roads in the UK are just some of the institutions already using the technology

Solar Bright won two awards at this yearrsquos Champion Canterbury Awards for the Champion Producer Manufacturer as a small enterprise and the CDC Innovation Award for its ldquoinnovative sustainable energy-efficient lighting solutions which enhance safety and lifestyle both domestically and internationallyrdquo CT

Interior design is no longer a stand-alone field it blends seamlessly into so many other areas of life setting the scene for a larger picture incorporating art retail and fine foods

The art of interior designInterior designer and co-owner of Frobisher Interiors Ann-Marie Appleton saw the opportunity to bring together these complementing crafts into one location and create an entirely new interior design experience in Christchurch She and her team at Frobisher Interiors proudly opened the innovative new store on Manchester Street a year ago

The completely modern take on the store is unlike anything around ldquoWe are the only interior design business in the city that encompasses everything that interior design is about in one building Wersquove gone far beyond what is traditionally expected from an interior design shoprdquo

The industry leading store is a complete interior design shopping experience beautifully flowing uninterrupted from a coffee shop meeting space retail store fabric samples area to art gallery

The blended retail space offers everything and anything you might need ldquoThe draw card initially for customers especially for people who donrsquot know us as interior designers is the coffee shop and meeting space From there they can see beyond into the retail space which is adorned with beautiful little gifts and lovely things to buy for the home to larger items such as furniture and our interior design servicerdquo

Frobisher Interiors previously operated from a small villa in Merivale which was too small for

its needs The villa only just housed the team of staff restricted the number of samples on display and failed to properly showcase its work

It was also the site of New Zealandrsquos first public railway commissioned in 1863 Goods from Lyttelton were brought around on small boats and loaded onto the train which also carried passengers

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

It can also convert hydraulic truck breaks to an air break system and has three and five tonne full air axels on air suspension or springs available Henry has been in the transport engineering industry for 50 years and he says this experience in the industry means he can take on the difficult jobs that other people donrsquot want to CT

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

ldquoMost windows in the early days of the company were single glazed Today they are double glazed

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

Martz Witty head of the Martz Group aligning chartered accountancy with the creativity of business development wwwmartzconz

An organisation cannot reach its potential if different parts are pulling in different directions A few years ago I left a professional partnership for this very reason and saw the same trait again in a national not-for-profit

Organisations as a whole need to understand where they are heading what theyre attempting to do and achieve short and long term

Similarly everyone should be aware of what the organisation holds to be important in how it operates ndash that there is an over-arching purpose and some rules to work by

But within an organisation there may be divisions branches teams ndash each with their own objectives and roles It is easy for these small groups (and that can be an individual) to be focused on their role or process with no thought to how that role contributes towards goals of the business

Consequently actions may be taken by one team which help achieve their own objectives but that are detrimental to other teams and therefore to the organisation as a whole

A challenge for management is to ensure each subset of the organisation is aware not only of its own objectives but is also aware of and encouraged to support the objectives of other teams it influences

By retaining a comprehension and consideration of the bigger picture internal elements of the organisation end up working cohesively to help the business perform its function more efficiently

This is achieved through repeated communication Cohesiveness and efficiency is promoted through communication of mutually consistent objectives and can be aided by properly targeted incentives

One area that can cause strife and inefficiency is poor role setting A company must be clear on the actions and processes that are critical to producing its desired output ndash and that output includes customer experience

These actions and processes must be assigned to specific teams and individuals who need to be held accountable for their implementation Determine what can be easily measured that provides confirmation that these critical processes are being performed satisfactorily Measure record review and provide feedback

Then work through all other necessary actions in the organisation and assign those tasks also Each person has a role and they are encouraged to perform that role efficiently in a way consistent with company rules of behaviour and objectivestargets that contribute to company goals

I guess this is whatrsquos really meant by getting ldquoall your ducks in a rowrdquo ndash have everyone working in the same direction

Recent research shows that as the global economy is becoming more intertwined diversifying a share portfolio across different sectors may be more important than diversifying across countriesWe talk a lot about the importance of diversifying a share portfolio across different geographies and with good reason An event or series of events can affect one country and not others What gets less airtime but just as important is sector diversification

A working paper by Morningstar Investment Management published late last year found that the sector a company operates in plays a much bigger role in determining its growth than where it happens to be listed In essence sector is more important than location

This suggests investors need to look beyond geographic diversification when constructing share portfolios and ensure they also have a prudent spread across different industries

The traditional reason to invest across a range of markets is to gain access to different drivers of growth and to spread risk Morningstar believes the benefit of geographic diversification is being diluted because major companies which are the ones most investors hold in their portfolios are becoming increasingly global

Morningstar studied 46 countries and instead of looking at total returns to assess the influence of sector versus country as previous studies have done they went one step further and looked at how these factors impacted earnings and dividend growth They took the view that what ultimately determines the value of a company and its performance is the earnings and dividend growth it generates

They found that industry has much more influence over a companyrsquos growth than its location This is more pronounced in developed markets where geographic diversification offers less benefit than in emerging markets

According to their research regional diversification has no discernable influence over the different earnings and dividend growth rates of companies across developed markets but industry explains more than 50 percent of this variability in growth Without delving too far into Morningstarrsquos rather complex regression analysis their research has a clear message for investors sector diversification matters

Eight ways to handle the holiday slowdown

It never fails to amaze me how entrepreneurs can cope with high volume sales and production periods but some get a little freaked when business slows down as can happen over the holidays

Wersquove had a rash of people asking us what they should do over the holidays to keep themselves sane and on the right track So here are a few of the suggestions

1 Get ready for the tax year Riveting huh Well maybe not but it will save you a ton in accountancy fees and also have you ready at the front of the line to get those annuals done and dusted and the tax position planned for the ensuing year Well prepared records means a reduction in time spent which spells savings to you

2 Communicate with your clients and customers more in the slow period to remain top of mind for when business speeds up Send holiday cards and dream up some holiday based special offers for customers

3 Declutter at work Take the time to do the filing cull old records throw out those records you can (usually over seven years old)

4 Take a break yourself Have a long weekend or longer enjoy a change of scenery visit family or friends do some industrial research on your competitors Just chill a bit

5 Study Find something that interests you or will help your business and go do some study Stimulate the brain expand your horizonshellip check out other options

6 Declutter at home Getting rid of things that you will do as soon as ldquoyou get around to itrdquo will clear your mind for bigger better and more fun things Itrsquos amazing what a drag these simple chores can be when you leave them undone

7 Shop Maybe for yourself but really we were thinking about things for the business Take the time to research plant and equipment you need source some training and courses

8 Visit family and friends When yoursquore busy you possibly donrsquot give these integral people enough time Drop in and say hi keep home fires burning keep friendships and relationships alive

Most importantly keep yourself in a positive mental frame of mind Negativity is like rust so keep it well at bay

If cash is your biggest stress then consult your business advisor knock up some current projections and approach your bank (with your accountant) with a view to a temporary loan facility Itrsquos best to be proactive in these things and not leave it to chance

Just checking ndash but you are thanking people arenrsquot youYou should be taking every opportunity to engage with your website visitors but one opportunity that is very commonly overlooked is the lsquothank yoursquo message when someone has made a purchase completed a form or subscribed to your newsletter

Most websites have a standard message saying something similar to lsquoThank you for your enquiry We will be in touch with you as soon as possiblersquo and thatrsquos it

While this is a nice polite (if not dull) message it has effectively ended the engagement with your website visitor There is so much more you could do to continue the interaction

Ideas for your lsquothank yoursquo page

Set expectations Clearly set expectations as to what is the next step and give exact timeframes as to when you will be in touch rather than just saying lsquoas soon as possiblersquo Make sure though that if you are saying you will be in touch within 24 hours or the product that has been purchased will be shipped in 48 hours that you keep to these timeframes There is nothing worse than having an expectation set only to be disappointed when the timeframes have not been met

Add contact details Yes your contact information is on your contact page (or it should be) but make it easy on the user by adding them again in case they have an immediate enquiry

Calls to action This is where you encourage further action so if someone has sent you an enquiry you could use the thank you page to ask them to subscribe to your newsletter or visit your Facebook page You might want to ask them to leave feedback on their experience so create a feedback form and link to it on the thank you page

Social media If you are active on social media then include the relevant icon links Having your website visitors following and interacting with you on other channels aside from your website is great for brand awareness and promotion

Building trust Why not add a testimonial to this page It reinforces your trust and credibility Alternatively direct them to your testimonials page if you have one so they can continue to interact with your website Including links to your blog posts videos or whitepapers you may have written will further enhance your brand credibility

Design You can be creative with the design of this page It can look totally different to your other pages but not so different of course that there is a brand disconnect when landing on this page

What we can learn about workplace design

At a Human Factors and Ergonomics conference in Melbourne earlier this year I attended a talk about developing the new learning environment and the importance ergonomics plays in this process

The attention to getting the learning space design right for school children really interests me After all it makes sense that school is a place where we help our children discover how they learn and work best and where we aim to set them up for life

Here in New Zealand the Ministry of Education has this approach clearly on its radar and has made the comment that its ldquoextensive research proved that students learnt best when they are Actively involved in decision making initiating learning collaborating together and making connections within and across learning spacesrdquo

Wouldnrsquot most of us like to be doing this in the workplace too

There seems to me a correlation between classroom and workspace design Traditionally schools and office blocks have both comprised of box shaped rooms leading off a main central corridor

In more recent times in an effort to nurture a more collaborative environment many offices have evolved into the lsquoopen plan workspacersquo however with lack of privacy and multiple distractions often being cited as problematic this style of working is not for everyone and this is where the business world could perhaps learn something

Schools are now leaning towards multi-option spaces designed to allow for large or small group work with places for teachers to work individually with children

Encouragingly I am starting to see this approach in new office designs now some open plan some small individual office space when people need somewhere quiet to focus for one-on-one interviews or phone calls larger spaces for meetings and just like schools the even bigger space for audio visual presentations or training or social events

It might seem obvious but again research by the Ministry of Education has shown that while good spaces enable they do not guarantee good educational outcomes But poor spaces will definitely impact on educational outcomes In the same way workspace design can definitely affect productivity as well as the health of the people working there with an impact on the bottom line of the business

Take a look around your premises ndash is there room for improvement and if so where might you start When it comes to workspace improvement a little change can make a big difference And if nothing else like a student starting an essay just think about it and hopefully the rest will come

1 Rent-a-Chookwwwrentachookcomau

Ever wanted a pet chicken but couldnrsquot quite commit Just rent one then You can rent one from Rent-a-Chook and if you decide you like it you can keep it They sell hens chicken feed coops and anything else a hen might need to survive in your back garden and have been doing so since 2001

The idea is to encourage people to have environmentally sustainable pets so Rent-a-Chook started a try-before-you-buy type business model The business even won a Green Award in 2009

2 Pet Rockwwwpetrockcom

If a chicken is too much for you to handle you could just buy a Pet Rock This business venture goes all the way back to 1975 when founder Gary Dahl joked about owning a pet rock while having a drink with some friends in a bar

The joke soon turned into reality when he recruited two colleagues as investors and started selling smooth rocks all packaged up in their own cardboard carry case (with air holes) complete with a care manual He reportedly made US$15 million

3 Square watermelonsLess a stand-alone business more a widespread craze square watermelons are what happens when good old mother nature asks us to stack round fruits on top of one another without the whole thing coming crashing down A Japanese farmer found a solution some 30 years ago to that problem and here we have the square watermelon

They are created by placing the fruit in a square box while still small and on the vine as it grows it takes the form of the box and et voilagrave Japan has been exporting the fruits all across the world with one USA Today report stating that they were fetching up to US$860 each in Russia in 2013

4 Bed bug Barrierswwwbedbugbarriercomau

If the name doesnrsquot already tell you this businessrsquo sole purpose in life is to defend your precious bed against nasty bugs They have a range of products that are designed to create a three-step process kill prevent protect

Using eco-friendly bug-killing products you can get rid of pests and then use the DIY accessories that attach to the legs of your bed to stop the bugs getting in again (should they come back) It might sound crazy but itrsquos actually quite a neat idea if you need a pest control solution for your home or hotel

5 Grumpy Catwwwgrumpycatscom

Not your typical business venture but the internet sensation that is Grumpy Cat has put online animal fames on the map From one picture posted to Redditcom of her frowning pose in 2012 the cat Tardar Sauce has become the face of all things crabby

She has a book a website an abundance of merchandise and even starred in her own movie Grumpy Catrsquos Worst Christmas Ever A report by a British newspaper claimed the cat had earned over US$100m but that was later denied by the owner

In January 2013 UK enterprise website realbusinesscouk wrote an article about crazy business ideas that actually worked Rated number one on their list was the notorious dating website Ashley Madison ndash you know the site that was recently hacked and had its membersrsquo details wiped across the internet

Well what was once considered a ldquocrazy ideardquo is now known worldwidehellip perhaps not for the best reasons but the concept still took off So maybe donrsquot bin that wild business concept yoursquove been sitting on just yet

Here are a few other examples that prove how successful lsquocrazyrsquo can be sometimes

crazy concepts that worked 6

6 YouTubewwwyoutubecom

YouTube has become the king of online video since it started in 2005 But not only has it made its original founders and current owners Google very rich it has also made its content creators pretty well off too

The site contains channels which people have created to showcase talk about whatever they feel like and many have collected a following large enough to create a full time job out of

One example would be user PewDiePie or Felix Kjellberg a Swedish guy known for his loud video game reviews and colourful use of language According to Forbes he reportedly earned US$74m last year alone and has over 389 million subscribers on his channel That is a lot of cash and a lot of viewers

The relationship between technology and business is of course ubiquitous

Hi-tech tools By Christelle Savry

Here at Irontech we recently completed the design and development of a web-based production system for CNC machine control The solution brings state of the art Software as a Service (SaaS) architecture to the heart of day to day manufacturing operations and showcases the technologyrsquos multiple benefits

Our customerrsquos vision was to develop a modern system where production data would flow seamlessly between the various manufacturing entities allowing the companyrsquos workforce to focus on core high value tasks

As is often the case in this conservative sector the ultimate goals were to improve productivity and quality while reducing wastage In this case the business owner also wanted to design a solution that would be generic enough to be licensed to other manufacturers

With this in mind the team at Irontech identified that a custom SaaS solution was most appropriate to meet the various requirements and delivered a web-based portal hosted in the Microsoft Azure cloud The design also allows for intermittent offline scenarios with automatic data resynchronisation

An integral part of the production process the bespoke portal allows end customer project components to be assigned to individual CNC machines located on the various sites around the country Various factors such as delivery location and current machine load are used to determine optimal workload distribution for the best productivity outcome

Using Restful Web API technology the CNC machines connect to the web portal to retrieve and push production data in real time This cutting edge software has successfully turned a labour intensive system into a fully automated highly efficient process contributing to a higher productivity and a reduced rate of human error

The portal allows other companies to register and manage their own production data completely independently Secure communication with third party software applications is performed using a documented platform-independent web API Companies can therefore design their own interface tailored to their environments and equipment A decentralised directory service can also be provided to allow for single log-in

Like cloud computing the line-of-business SaaS model reduces the total cost of ownership of software by way of economy of scale It optimises the usage of the underlying resources ndash think hardware and services ndash to allow small companies to access high tech solutions at a fraction of the cost of a traditional equivalent lsquoon-premisesrsquo software

In essence the SaaS adds value to the day to day operation of customers factories and the licensing revenue helps recoup the development cost of the system It even generates its own income stream making such an investment highly attractive

Working from home is a very attractive option for many people It offers great flexibility and a work-life balance that we all dream of And as more people seek a better balanced lifestyle an increasing number of professionals are turning this dream into a reality

You may be chasing this goal yourself Either by establishing your own start-up company from the comfort of your home or your current employer might have offered you the opportunity to retire from the office cubicle and relocate to home

But before you pack up your desk and sing sayonara to your work colleagues there are a few factors to take into consideration

While yes there are many benefits of working from home there are some pitfalls to be aware of It is a good idea to weigh up both the negatives and the positives before you throw an office leaving party

ADVANTAGES FlexibilityWorking from home opens up a world of possibilities Having the freedom to choose your own work hours is one of the most notable changes but there are many other elements that yoursquoll have control over For example working from home gives you the freedom and flexibility over your work environment which encompasses the temperature lightening sound such as the choice to play music or not and your overall comfort and atmosphere Whatever mood makes you the happiest and most productive you can create

FocusWorking from home cuts out all of the typical workplace distractions and disturbances yoursquoll no longer encounter annoying interruptions unimportant meetings or distractions from co-workers So it is easy to focus in a calm quiet environment

Substantial savingsThere are many hidden costs associated with working in a traditional office environment from the cost of fuel used while driving back and forth to work parking charges the temptation to buy

expensive lunches and pricey work wardrobes if you are required to dress professionally And of course if you have children there is the cost of childcare But by working from home all of these expenses are literally gone and yoursquore bound to notice a welcome saving

Higher work output Removed from the distractions and stresses of the workplace people often feel a lot happier and as a result work more efficiently and at the end of the day are more productive

DISADVANTAGES Loneliness One of the main disadvantages of working from home that isnrsquot often anticipated is the isolation experienced working alone People often miss the hive of social interaction at the workplace For many people it is their primary environment to meet people and make friends And as a consequence professionals working from home often feel disconnected isolated and depressed

ForgottenBy not physically showing your face in the office on a daily bases you can find yourself

being overlooked and forgotten You may be left out of important company decisions and changes or worse in danger of being overlooked for promotion in favour of staff who are more visibly fighting for the position

Interruptions

Although yoursquove eliminated office distractions a whole new raft of distractions arise from working at home - and they can often be worse Home interruptions can include children friends pets neighbours or the temptation to get chores around the house done To avoid these distractions you need to set clear work hours and let your family and friends know you are unavailable during this time

Work doesnrsquot end

If you fail to create a clear separation between your work and home life you can be at risk of working endlessly Because there is no one enforcing a strict nine to five work day people who work from home often find themselves working longer hours This may be triggered by pressures to prove themselves and their abilities in this arrangement

News |emspWorking life

One of the biggest problems with attempting to change an organisationrsquos culture is that culture is not something you can see feel and touch This doesnrsquot mean itrsquos not real Itrsquos very real ndash particularly in the way it influences our daily lives

Culture is all about behavioural norms expectations placed upon us by the system within which we function

At the societal level we constantly behave according to such behavioural norms When we meet people for the first time we shake their hands But why do we do this Itrsquos because itrsquos lsquowhat we dorsquo ndash itrsquos expected of us

Why do we shake hands and not bump feet or rub elbows We have lsquolearnedrsquo to do it As children we see our parents do it and over time it becomes a cultural normrsquo

Similarly in organisations there are certain lsquoways of doing thingsrsquo In some organisations people have learned that they should simply

Swimming against the tide

Balancing acts | The pros and cons of working from homeBy Laura Baker

keep themselves out of trouble In others they have learned to make sure they never make a mistake In some they have learned that honesty can be career limiting and in others they have learned that itrsquos really a competition to be seen and noticed

After 50 years of research into the factors that influence organisational performance there are very few today who would not rank organisational culture as critical to business success

Customers experience an organisationrsquos culture when they communicate or interface with that organisation Staff experience it every day Friends and partners of staff hear about it in the stories that people tell about their work

Organisational culture is the single biggest reason improvement initiatives fail If an organisationrsquos culture has lsquotaughtrsquo people to simply lsquodo their jobrsquo or always unquestioningly obey the rules there is simply no way that any improvement (or culture change) programme is going to work without addressing that existing culture

Take someone who works in a job that has minimal autonomy and thus little opportunity to think within a culture that does not

welcome honest upward feedback and then ask people to lsquouse their initiativersquo or lsquobe creativersquo or lsquobe accountablersquo and yoursquore really wasting your time (and money)

An organisationrsquos culture either works for it or against it particularly in times of change and adaptation

Being able to clearly identify what aspects of the culture help and what aspects hinder is vital in being able to address culture change initiatives that actually work

Thirty years of research into organisational culture has led Human Synergistics to identify the cultural norms that help promote effective performance and those which inhibit it

The 12 norms are clustered into three groups While there is much more behind each norm than those descriptions listed below these are suitable lsquoone linersrsquo for each

Norms that represent AggressiveDefensive behaviours

bull Find fault in others

bull Be lsquotoughrsquo and powerfulrsquo

bull Compete rather than cooperate

bull Never ever make a mistake

Norms that represent Constructive behavioursbull Strive for excellencebull Learn and growbull Support one anotherbull Build relationshipsPlease those in positions of authority Norms that represent PassiveDefensive behavioursbull Simply follow the rulesbull Push decisions upwardsbull Avoid blame

Each organisation will have its own combination of these norms The more the Constructive norms prevail the more effective the organisationrsquos performance The more the PassiveDefensive norms prevail the more the organisation functions like a non-responsive bureaucracy and the more AggressiveDefensive norms prevail the organisation operates as a bunch of individuals with the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing

By measuring culture it can be lsquoprofiledrsquo Once profiled it can be lsquoseenrsquo Once seen it moves beyond being an intangible concept to a tangible reality Once lsquorealrsquo it can be changed

MAKING IT HIS WAYBy Terri Cluckie

Alasdair Cassels is an icon in Christchurch or he is around Woolston anyway His distinct looks play a part in that status tall frame dark glasses long white hair and moustache - itrsquos quite a striking presence but a humble and friendly one nonetheless

wwwcanterburytodayconz emsp January 2016 | 15

News |emspCover story

The man himself is probably just as iconic as his business ventures during the past few years specifically his boutique shopping arcade The Tannery and the Cassels amp Sons Brewery which he co-owns with his son Zak and son-in-law Joe Shanks

The Cassels family has contributed a lot to the economy of the city with various businesses sprawled throughout Alasdair co-owns the CBD Bar on Madras St as well as the brewery and shopping centre and has recently been working on a project to clean up the Heathcote River

The river itself is something Alasdair seems to dote on Itrsquos partly why he bought the site that The Tannery sits on way back in 1994

ldquoIt told a story straight away of Christchurch in its early days because Christchurch was really settled on the banks of the Heathcoterdquo Alasdair explains

Read anything about Alasdair in the paper or online and yoursquoll probably hear about the Heathcote and Christchurchrsquos early days He canrsquot help but let his passion for the city show Itrsquos understandable though ndash he seems to have known nothing but success in Christchurch

I first met Alasdair on a drizzly spring morning I had met him in the atrium of The Tannery to talk about the site and the shape of the city in general (who else to talk to about the city but a lover of it) but our conversation drifted more towards another of his passions craft beer

He has been making his own beer at home for years and even taught his children how to do it so of course he has set up his own brewery

The Cassels amp Sons Brewery was officially established in 2009 and started out exactly where it sits now in The Brewery bar of The Tannery It got off to a shaky start with the earthquakes following two years after it opened but that didnrsquot knock their confidence

for long In fact the craft beer industry in New Zealand as a whole is booming right now

According to the ANZ New Zealand Craft Beer Industry Insights 2015 report craft beer sales have increased 42 percent in the last year alone Beer exports to Asia have also doubled in the last two years with the Asian market potential being 750 times the size of New Zealand so it would seem now is the time to export

When we spoke Cassels amp Sons didnrsquot yet have the capacity to export due to hand bottling each beer and predominantly using kegs for draft beer or bottles sold at local markets to sell their product But things are very quickly about to change

The Brewery is situated at the entrance of The Tannery and houses their public bar kitchen and hand-built wood fire kettle which they used to brew their first batch of pilsner (itrsquos one of only two in the world according to Alasdair)

If you take a stroll to the bottom end of The Tannery car park you will come across a second building ndash one of Cassels amp Sonsrsquo bigger breweries - itrsquos here that big changes are about to be made

The brewery has just acquired a bottling plant they imported from Czech Republic It is the biggest bottling machine in the craft beer industry in New Zealand and should be up and running in February

The potential this $1m machine carries for Cassels amp Sons is huge The machine a Moravek 21244 Tribloc has a maximum production rate of 7000 bottles per hour and is capable of bottling over six million litres per year which more than out does the current hand-bottling methods of the brewery

ldquoBeer is easier to make and serve in a bar Once you start bottling it itrsquos got to be really technically made otherwise on the way to

market the flavour goes the bubbles go The more sophisticated the machine is the better chance yoursquove got of getting it to market so exporting and everything else becomes an optionrdquo explains Alasdair

He has hopes of bottling other breweriesrsquo beers too ndash another way of giving back to the community

When I met Alasdair in The Tannery he was sat with two other gentlemen clearly well at home in the Victorian-arcade inspired centre surrounded by his friends

We eventually shifted into the corner of a coffee shop to chat Something I didnrsquot realise at the time but quickly caught on to was just how popular Alasdair is Even later when we were taking pictures in the atrium people continuously made jokes with him tried to have a chat and just generally looked his way

Whether thatrsquos because he literally owns the place or because people have so much respect for him Irsquom not sure but even just spending an hour with him I can understand the pull he has

The Tannery is buzzing with business and visitors Itrsquos a really positive place to be

The centre didnrsquot really come to life until after the earthquakes because as Alasdair tells me for one reason or another before then he had struggled to get planning permission from the city council to do anything with the site It wasnrsquot until after the earthquakes that The Tannery began to transform into what it is today

ldquoIt was an absolute tragedy and all of us were shockedrdquo says Alasdair ldquoBut amongst all that was a sense of excitement There really was a sense of being able to do somethingrdquo

He explains that when the city centre was shut down in the aftermath a lot of boutique family-run businesses needed a new place to settle and The Tannery offered them the perfect spot ldquoIt was safety in numbers so dozens of them came hererdquo

The building itself had to be re-built but it meant that Alasdair was able to turn his dreams for the Woolston community into a reality

ldquoI wanted something that was peaceful and uplifting when you walked into it I wanted to make people feel better about things and also give them a chance to escape from the city or from at that stage the beaten up city

ldquoI wanted to create a fantasy and fairytale place which wasnrsquot as hard as it seemsrdquo

Although it took a few years to really get the centre and the businesses it housed off the ground the $20m project now has 65

happy tenants meaning all leases are under occupation A few more expansions are even in the works with Alice in Videoland building a two-screen cinema at the south end of the atrium with the Metropolitan Lounge going above it (a conference centre art gallery)

The news came late last year that Alasdair was planning on selling 45 percent of his shares for The Tannery in an aim to earn back some of the well-spent money he has dedicated to it

He is planning on channelling the money into other projects around Woolston but he is keeping the details under lock and key for now At this point in time itrsquos early days but Alasdair is confident that his shares will sell pretty easily so he can start making tracks on his next plan

He has big hopes for the city overall not just his little corner of it by the Heathcote river

ldquoIn the 50s and 60s Christchurch was a big capital of the South Island We had head offices bigger government departments and big banks here

ldquoNew Zealand went through an economic reform in the 80s and what happened then was head offices and bigger government departments were taken away from Christchurch and went to Auckland and Wellington so we shrunk and the need for a big city shrunk and we were only left with a few parts of town that really were used properly

ldquoCities like to be compact they like to be dense so they work better when therersquos lots of people and things to do and I think this new plan wersquove got will solve that problemrdquo explains Alasdair

Although the majority of Alasdairrsquos focus remains on the Woolston side of town he does talk a fair bit about the city Itrsquos clear he has big hopes for it Hersquos positive of the outcome and knows Christchurch is headed in the right direction

ldquoThe biggest thing we need in town is patience It might not be for a while but it will develop slowly and it will be a good placerdquo

At the end of our interview Alasdair took me along to the Brewery Bar to proudly show off their wood fire kettle He brought it up a few times during our conversation so hersquos clearly proud of it

And it is impressive It took him and his son-in-law six months to build by hand I guess that took his patience too and it must have been worth the wait I hear a Cassels amp Sons pint is damn good wwwthetanneryconz wwwcasselsbreweryconz

Cassels amp Sonsrsquo new Moravek bottling machine has a maximum production rate of 7000 bottles per hour and is capable of bottling over six million litres per year

Mental health days Why worryThe reality is that we work long and hard to do the job wersquove been assigned to do so achieving that worklife balance concept can seem redundant

Sometimes we simply just need a day off to sort ourselves out mentally in order to prevent burnout remain productive and increase our work performance when we return to the job

We often associate days off work with a physical illness but mental wellbeing is generally overlooked Keeping up with everything in life and work can become too much and our brains turn into mush

While a little worry and concern can focus the mind being overly stressed and unhappy isnrsquot good for your health and it isnrsquot good for those around you either Sometimes we (especially workaholics) find it difficult to give ourselves time off work because

We worry about how it might affect other people in the workplace

bull We think we wonrsquot be able to keep up with the workload when we return

bull We worry wersquore missing out

bull We feel guilty or pressured

bull We need the money

bull Or we think we donrsquot need the time off

But if yoursquore physically and emotionally exhausted suffering from sleepless nights feeling constantly stressed snappy at work and home or generally not caring about your work yoursquore on the road to having a meltdown and potentially committing career suicide

Whatrsquos worse working too hard instead of working smart to the best of your ability yet making mistakes - or taking a day off so you can get back to work re-energised and complete tasks to a high standard

While one day off wonrsquot cast away deep underlying stresses and strains it does allow you to step away from the scene of the crime and grab some much needed headspace

If you donrsquot want to eat into your holiday pay ask your boss to take an unpaid half day or full

History is full of poets philosophers and sages espousing the benefits of a positive disposition But it seems scientists disagreeWhy Because it pays to worry a little bit - quite literally

A study published in the Journal of Behavioural Decision Making in 2012 monitored 213 peoplersquos behaviour in relation to a simulated gambling game The study found participants in a sad or worrisome mood were more likely to make logical bets they knew had a higher likelihood of winning even after a series of losses

Whereas positive happy bettors were quicker and more likely to play what they knew was a riskier move Their jovial outlook influenced them to make unpredictable decisions on gut feelings despite the opportunity to play a logical bet

The study shows you are more likely to make winning decisions while you are in an anxious worried state of mind

But these findings donrsquot just apply to gambling The positive effect of this negative feeling translates into the business world In moderation worry can work wonders for your career

Sometimes a negative attitude is actually beneficial trait to have because it allows you to look at a situation in a more realistic light Feeling worried means you are more likely to make a logical decision with a higher outcome of success compared with your cheerful counterpart in the same situation

There is no danger of over promising and under delivering because you are thinking realistically Worry helps to rein in out of this world ideas it also assists with assessing the risks and obstacles in front of you

Worry can be the side effect of a strong desire to achieve perfection And in the pursuit of perfection worry can prompt you to double check and even triple check your work Without worry there is a risk you can become complacent a little too relaxed and more likely to make a mistake

Under a moderate amount of worry you are capable of learning and remembering new information more effectively This is because the primary stress hormone cortisol improves learning and memory at moderate concentrations compared to low or high concentrations

Worry has also been linked to accelerate career promotions and overall success An international study in Perspectives on Psychological Science in 2007 monitored 118519 peoplersquos careers

The study found those who are less happy attain higher salaries and more education while people who are very happy tend to form more rewarding relationships

People who are more susceptible to worry consequently exhibit the following personality traits

PROSbull More attentive to detailbull More motivated to work bull More polite and attentive to othersbull Vigilant for risks and threats

CONS bull Overcautious bull Less creativebull At risk of becoming too stressedbull More closed minded

In comparison worry-free people exhibit these contrasting behaviours

PROSbull More creativebull Form better relationshipsbull Healthierbull Willing to explore

CONSbull Prone to overlooking threats and dangersbull Open to unwise risks bull More gulliblebull Lacking appropriate embarrassment or guilt

day off And remember you donrsquot have to tell your co-workers that yoursquore taking a mental health day just that you wonrsquot be available

Whether you intend to be busy carrying out chores around the house exercising enjoying some retail therapy or you intend to do the complete opposite and catch up on sleep for the whole day a mental health day is whatever it means to you to be completely free

Just remember to plan ahead by informing your boss and colleagues of your leave in advance so they can work around it This way you wonrsquot need to worry about how your absence may affect others

And make sure when you take your mental health day work stays at work ndash donrsquot bring it home with you Turn your mobile phone off donrsquot check work related emails and certainly donrsquot take home any paperwork Emergencyrsquos only please

At the end of the day your health is important Provide some relief by paying attention to yourself and live a healthier life

Just remember to plan

ahead by informing your

your leave in advance so

Health and safety is paramount for operators involved in the use of elevated work platforms

So when it comes time to validating your competency you want to choose the best training course available

Accessman is New Zealandrsquos leading specialised hire company providing scissor lifts cherry pickers knucklebooms and mobile scaffolding Itrsquos now leading the field as an accredited IPAF training provider to complement the existing Silvercard NZQA training it currently offers

The company launched the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) accredited training programme throughout the South Island in November as one of two companies nationwide to do so

The internationally recognised course was developed by leading industry professionals and is aimed at users of elevated work platforms generally in the construction industry and certifies operators in the machines of their choice IPAF training conforms to the international standard ISO 18878 - Mobile Elevating Work Platforms Operator training and ISO 9001 - Quality Management Systems

The Accessman Group general manager Lena Harrington says health and safety is a priority not only within the company but throughout the industry So when Accessman saw the opportunity to provide the renowned IPAF training programme it jumped at the chance

ldquoI think the marketplace needed an alternative qualification IPAFrsquos rigid testing structure ensures that only competent operators are awarded the

qualification which provides employers with peace of mind that their staff have been thoroughly trained ndash they will not pass unless they are competentrdquo

IPAF training was founded in the UK and today has 600 training outlets worldwide which are responsible for qualifying over 100000 people per year IPAF recognised the Accessman Group had the platform required to release the qualification to the New Zealand market in partnership with Total Access in the North Island

To become an accredited training centre a senior IPAF auditor was brought out from the UK to put Accessmanrsquos training staff through the intensive instructorrsquos course

ldquoObviously our staff had to have a significant amount of experience within the industry before they were eligible to become IPAF instructors some of whom are also qualified to train both IPAF and Silvercard NZQA The training venues also had to meet some fairly stringent requirementsrdquo Lena says

The course is comprised of both practical and theory based learning with assessments The classes are kept small to maximise individual learning and the training centres are regularly audited to ensure they meet and adhere to the IPAF standards Training centres also receive regular updates to ensure that attendees are receiving the best training possible Attendees of IPAF training receive a Powered Access Licence (PAL) card The PAL card is valid for five years and is internationally recognised It can also be instantly verified by anyone via an online database which not only includes a photo of the card holder but details of the card

Five reasons to attend an IPAF training programmeThe PAL card is valid for five yearsThe PAL card is internationally recognisedThe card can be instantly verified via an online databaseExpert training by leading industry professionals in small class sizesOn completion participants receive a PAL card log book and an operator handbook

expiration date and machines the card holder can operate In addition they also receive a log book to record their machine use and an operator handbook

Lena says the PAL card is useful to the large number of contractors from overseas in the city thanks to its international recognition ldquoContractors are coming and going all the time in Christchurch at the moment so it makes sense that they have a qualification that is transferablerdquo In addition all reputable manufacturers of elevated work platforms worldwide are members of IPAF an alignment that strengthens the service the not for profit federation provides

Proudly Supporting Window Treatments for over 10 Years

As New Zealandrsquos largest independently owned blind shutter awning and insect screen manufacturing and retail company Window Treatments offer products that follow the latest international trends

The company has retail stores and mobile showrooms throughout the country including nine across the South Island

It has an exciting range of new products available for the summer season including exterior awnings that are designed for longevity in harsh coastal environments

Owner Graeme Rose says the Palladio cassetted folding arm awning is a new generation awning ideal for home patios shops and kiosks offering unobstructed passage underneath It is made from aluminium marine-grade stainless steel fittings and fabrics designed for the outdoors

ldquoPalladio is fully cassetted so it protects the fabric when the awning is retractedrdquo he says

ldquoIt can cover everything up to seven metres in width and a projection of up to 36 metres Itrsquos very large and is ideal for creating that indoor-outdoor environment where you want sun or wind protectionrdquo

Other new awnings from Window Treatments include the Italia box radial arm awning which is ideal for both residential and commercial installations and the Terrazza pergola awning

Graeme says another exciting new product is the Securo side roller blind which rolls from side to side rather than up and down like a conventional roller blind

ldquoItrsquos particularly good for ranch sliders where you need some light control and it also doubles as an insect screen The beauty is you can roll it back just enough to get outside while still having your ranch slider open With a conventional roller blind yoursquod have to roll it right up to go through the doorrdquo

Focus | Tekapo Springs

Tekapo Springs is a year-round attraction beloved by visitors from across the globe In early 2015 the resort announced plans to open new multi-million dollar facilities for visitors families and locals to enjoy from late December onwards ndash and itrsquos finally here

New pools take Tekapo Springs to the next level

The new additions include three new pool areas including an aqua playspray area for kids and teens a beach accessed kidsrsquo pool and an adultsrsquo deep water pool

The pools all run at cooler water temperatures of 33 degrees Celsius for the kidsrsquo pool and aqua play area and 28 degrees Celsius for the adultsrsquo pool

Tekapo Springs owner and managing director Karl Burtscher says the aim is to offer a dditional entertaining aquatic options for families children and adults He also says the need to offer a wider temperature range of pool water was important especially during the summer months

Karl explains that the new additions completely open up the resort and create even more

opportunities for guests to gaze upon Lake Tekapo while enjoying the facilities

ldquoYou can now get down to pool level and really appreciate the views from the new adult pool in particular which quite possibly will have the best overall views down Lake Tekapo of any of the pools ndash old and newrdquo

The new pool additions themed lsquoHigh Country Tarnsrsquo each with its own distinctive shade of aqua green ndash were designed to complement the three existing hot pools and are part of Tekapo Springsrsquo long term growth strategy for expanding its aquatic attractions and offering a wider range of water temperatures and features

The new pools will also run through winter depending on outside weather temperatures

Focus | Tekapo Springs

A tight scheduleSince the first sod was turned on September 1 2015 progress was swift and exciting With the new pools taking shape and initial landscaping underway Tekapo Springs staff were thrilled to see dreams become reality

As of November 25 fibre glass spraying and painting of the adultsrsquo pool had been completed with fibre glass spraying commencing on the childrenrsquos cold pool a few days after

Karl says as the pools literally took shape on a daily basis staff could start to get a sense of what they would be delivering to guests

A helping handThe design concept of the pools came from Karl himself and he even completed some of the earth and civil works while co-ordinating the whole project

Although Karl played a major hand in bringing the new additions to life he received a wide slot of help from both local companies and others from around New Zealand

Those involved included H2O Water Systems from Auckland doing the pool plant High Country Carpentry from Fairlie doing all the building and formwork Stephen Styles Block and Brick doing block work Murray Linton Concrete doing concrete laying Reflex Industrial doing fibre glassing and Damon Smith Electrical and Prolec (Professional Electric) from Christchurch doing controls and automation

The perfect spotTekapo Springs is nestled on the shores of stunning Lake Tekapo boasting a unique mix of summer and winter recreation and relaxation

Open 364 days a year the attraction already includes three existing outdoor hot pools a steam and sauna facility an ice rink water slides summer and winter tubing a day spa cafeacute and fully licensed bar

The company has evolved into a year-round ldquomust-dordquo on the bucket list of many visitors to the South Island as well as stamping its mark as an important centrepiece in the Tekapo community

The new pools are a testament to the companyrsquos drive to grow and develop while continuously exceeding customer expectations The three new pools help step-up Tekapo Springsrsquo summer offering and put it among one of the countryrsquos leading tourism operators CT

Finance | Hamilton Hindin Greene

Christchurch businesses are all too familiar with the struggles and obstacles that come with upheaving an office and moving to a new location One local business that understands the struggle all too well is Hamilton Hindin Greene

The investment advisory firm has endured a turbulent and unsettled time since the February 2011 earthquake It has almost consistently been on the move from one premise to the next moving offices five times in the last five years

CEO Ian Perry explains that one day before the earthquake Hamilton Hindin Greene shifted from its office on Hereford Street in the old National Bank building where it had been based for 30 years to the BDO building on Victoria Street When the February quake struck it had just over a day to move everything out of the damaged building but luckily no one was hurt Ian says

In the following chaos it moved to a space above the Dinghyrsquos amp Outboards warehouse on Lincoln Road ldquothen that got knocked downrdquo In 2012 it shifted into a brand new building on Manchester Street called Westende House

ldquoIt was 140 percent up to code and we thought it was going to be our permanent location Then suddenly we got notice when the councilrsquos transport plan was released that the planners had decided they wanted to purchase the building to knock it down and widen the road

ldquoFinally in June 2014 we moved into where we are today at level 1 83 Victoria Street The office is located on the corner of Peterborough Street and hopefully wersquoll never have to move againrdquo

What Hamilton Hindin Greene can do for you Hamilton Hindin Greene is a boutique personalised and specialist investment advisory service It has evolved from solely operating as a share broker when it was established almost a century ago to the diverse investment advisory firm it is today

ldquoWe are no longer the traditional share broker who just deals in New Zealand shares We are investment advisors who use a diversified approach to investing in local and international shares and bonds to provide investment solutions to a range of peoplerdquo

Clients are paired with a personal advisor who takes them through the investment planning process to develop a risk profile for the particular objectives they want to achieve

The advisor then builds a bespoke profile using local Australian and international shares ldquoWe help them to select the right mix of good quality companies so over the long term theyrsquoll make an appropriate return for the risk they want to takerdquo

The advisor oversees the day to day running of clients portfolios and provides advice on potential outcomes of their investments ldquoOur advice is always customised to that particular individuals needsrdquo CT

The organ is the grandest of instruments Itrsquos been referred to as the closest to heaven instrument on earth with a sound thatrsquos powerful rich and deeply moving

Restoring heritage pieces to their former glory

Keeping such instruments in pristine working order is a highly specialised craft One company that has these skills in such a niche field is the South Island Organ Company (SIOC) based in Timaru

Established in 1968 SIOC has been in continuous operation now for nearly 50 years The company offers tuning and maintenance of organs historic restorations and artistic rebuilds as well as new organ builds throughout New Zealand and overseas They are widely recognised as one of the leading firms specialising in pipe organ restoration and rebuilding

The SIOC has worked on literally hundreds of organs Some of the projects have been very large and complex such as their current restoration of Wellingtonrsquos fabulous 1906 Town Hall organ In 1997 at St Patrickrsquos Basilica Fremantle they rebuilt the largest church organ in Australia In 2008 they rebuilt the organ in UWArsquos Winthrop Hall and in 2010 the interconnected organs of St Maryrsquos Cathedral both in the city of Perth

Back in New Zealand a very special project completed late last year was the rebuild of the historic organ of Knox Presbyterian Church in Christchurch after both church and organ were badly damaged in the 201011 earthquakes

SIOCrsquos 12 man team reconstructed the original organ added some more pipes and a digital transmission to facilitate the mobilised and

ldquoEverything we do is quality old-fashioned craftsmanship made to last or to be restored We are not in the throw away utility market but in the heritage market creating one-off pieces that are going to become art works of the futurerdquo CT

adapted 1914 console in accordance with the Churchrsquos stated mission to provide a flexible concert space in the inner city

This project is a clear example of the way SIOC can incorporate leading-edge technology such as computerised digital playing aids and playback systems into organ restorations and rebuilds without compromising heritage

There is however another aspect to the work of the SIOC which may seem unrelated ndash but actually there is a connection The company can also restore precious antique furniture and create new custom joinery

This side of the operation is led by Zack Bennett a specialist in antique furniture restoration in carving and in sculpture as well as in the design and manufacture of customised joinery Zack is about to direct restoration of the historic 19th century reredos in St Saviourrsquos church in Lyttelton ndash a highly intricate project involving earthquake damaged timber and ceramic tiles So diversification is definitely the name of the game for the SIOC

An ever increasing social conscience about energy use and the effect it has on our environment is causing companies like Solar Bright to look into alternative options Using solar power technology the Christchurch-based team is making leaps and bounds with energy-generating products which are spreading throughout the city and beyond

You may recognise Solar Bright as the company behind the solar-powered table in the city centrersquos ReStart mall which visitors could use to charge their mobile devices that were running low

The table which was on loan to the council has now been relocated to a new home at Burnside High School Being the largest school in the South Island the team at Solar Bright donated the table to the school knowing they would get good use out of it

It seems the team at Solar Bright has not stopped since then They have created and installed five more tables that are dotted around the city have had interest from North Canterbury and Auckland City Council for similar products and have even installed a solar shelter in Linwood for people to charge their devices in

Managing director Nicola Martin explains that the hunger for electricity is growing dramatically and solar energy provides an effective solution

ldquoItrsquos just using what naturersquos already given us Itrsquos a renewable source of energy and means not having to rely solely on electricityrdquo

At the moment Solar Bright is also trialling the charging tables at the McDonaldrsquos restaurants on Moorhouse Ave and in Sydenham The idea is to see how the technology will work indoors and what kind of savings the chains will make on electricity bills as customers are increasingly using power points in store to charge their devices with

Nicola explained that these solar powered charging outlets are a great solution to electricity blackouts If power were ever cut from the city again people would have places like the tables and shelters to use to make sure their mobiles and devices stay on the green light making sure communication methods are protected during emergencies

But charging mobile phones and tablets ar e not the only good ideas Solar Bright has In 2012 Nicolarsquos husband and inventor of their products

Pat Martin realised the need for the detection of frost on roads and came up with PATeye technology

It is again solar powered via the sun and headlights from cars during the night and works the same sort of way that cats eyes currently do on roads around the world

With PATeye the devices installed on roads will flash blue LED lights when the air temperature reaches a certain level to warn people of the potential dangers of slipping

Due to regulations around the world it may take a little while for Solar Bright to weave through the legislation of installing the device on public roads but for now they are rolling out PATeyes on private roads car parks and pathways

Lincoln University Kiwi Rail Dunedin City Council Christchurch Polytechnic and even private NHS roads in the UK are just some of the institutions already using the technology

Solar Bright won two awards at this yearrsquos Champion Canterbury Awards for the Champion Producer Manufacturer as a small enterprise and the CDC Innovation Award for its ldquoinnovative sustainable energy-efficient lighting solutions which enhance safety and lifestyle both domestically and internationallyrdquo CT

Interior design is no longer a stand-alone field it blends seamlessly into so many other areas of life setting the scene for a larger picture incorporating art retail and fine foods

The art of interior designInterior designer and co-owner of Frobisher Interiors Ann-Marie Appleton saw the opportunity to bring together these complementing crafts into one location and create an entirely new interior design experience in Christchurch She and her team at Frobisher Interiors proudly opened the innovative new store on Manchester Street a year ago

The completely modern take on the store is unlike anything around ldquoWe are the only interior design business in the city that encompasses everything that interior design is about in one building Wersquove gone far beyond what is traditionally expected from an interior design shoprdquo

The industry leading store is a complete interior design shopping experience beautifully flowing uninterrupted from a coffee shop meeting space retail store fabric samples area to art gallery

The blended retail space offers everything and anything you might need ldquoThe draw card initially for customers especially for people who donrsquot know us as interior designers is the coffee shop and meeting space From there they can see beyond into the retail space which is adorned with beautiful little gifts and lovely things to buy for the home to larger items such as furniture and our interior design servicerdquo

Frobisher Interiors previously operated from a small villa in Merivale which was too small for

its needs The villa only just housed the team of staff restricted the number of samples on display and failed to properly showcase its work

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Designed to handle any load

cab chassis ldquoWe used to make the floor of a tipdeck to 6mm but with Hardox we can make them out of 4mm steel which makes a big difference to the weightrdquo

Quick turn around If you need a tipper body fast at a competitive rate Brokenshire Engineering is the team to call It has truck bodies in stock right now that can be custom-painted and fitted to a truck within two weeks But if you canrsquot find the right body in stock Brokenshire can custom-build paint install the pump oil tank and gas controls and fit it to the truck for just $45000 plus GST

Unparalleled products Brokenshirersquos ability to design and built anything for truck and trailers is unparalleled It builds new semi-tipper truck bodies and is the only business in the country that makes smooth surfaced runner-less tipper bodies

ldquoWe are the only people who make runner-less tipper bodies Most tipper bodies have got channels on them we donrsquot use channels This is the latest European designrdquo

It can also convert hydraulic truck breaks to an air break system and has three and five tonne full air axels on air suspension or springs available Henry has been in the transport engineering industry for 50 years and he says this experience in the industry means he can take on the difficult jobs that other people donrsquot want to CT

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

Just checking ndash but you are thanking people arenrsquot youYou should be taking every opportunity to engage with your website visitors but one opportunity that is very commonly overlooked is the lsquothank yoursquo message when someone has made a purchase completed a form or subscribed to your newsletter

Most websites have a standard message saying something similar to lsquoThank you for your enquiry We will be in touch with you as soon as possiblersquo and thatrsquos it

While this is a nice polite (if not dull) message it has effectively ended the engagement with your website visitor There is so much more you could do to continue the interaction

Ideas for your lsquothank yoursquo page

Set expectations Clearly set expectations as to what is the next step and give exact timeframes as to when you will be in touch rather than just saying lsquoas soon as possiblersquo Make sure though that if you are saying you will be in touch within 24 hours or the product that has been purchased will be shipped in 48 hours that you keep to these timeframes There is nothing worse than having an expectation set only to be disappointed when the timeframes have not been met

Add contact details Yes your contact information is on your contact page (or it should be) but make it easy on the user by adding them again in case they have an immediate enquiry

Calls to action This is where you encourage further action so if someone has sent you an enquiry you could use the thank you page to ask them to subscribe to your newsletter or visit your Facebook page You might want to ask them to leave feedback on their experience so create a feedback form and link to it on the thank you page

Social media If you are active on social media then include the relevant icon links Having your website visitors following and interacting with you on other channels aside from your website is great for brand awareness and promotion

Building trust Why not add a testimonial to this page It reinforces your trust and credibility Alternatively direct them to your testimonials page if you have one so they can continue to interact with your website Including links to your blog posts videos or whitepapers you may have written will further enhance your brand credibility

Design You can be creative with the design of this page It can look totally different to your other pages but not so different of course that there is a brand disconnect when landing on this page

What we can learn about workplace design

At a Human Factors and Ergonomics conference in Melbourne earlier this year I attended a talk about developing the new learning environment and the importance ergonomics plays in this process

The attention to getting the learning space design right for school children really interests me After all it makes sense that school is a place where we help our children discover how they learn and work best and where we aim to set them up for life

Here in New Zealand the Ministry of Education has this approach clearly on its radar and has made the comment that its ldquoextensive research proved that students learnt best when they are Actively involved in decision making initiating learning collaborating together and making connections within and across learning spacesrdquo

Wouldnrsquot most of us like to be doing this in the workplace too

There seems to me a correlation between classroom and workspace design Traditionally schools and office blocks have both comprised of box shaped rooms leading off a main central corridor

In more recent times in an effort to nurture a more collaborative environment many offices have evolved into the lsquoopen plan workspacersquo however with lack of privacy and multiple distractions often being cited as problematic this style of working is not for everyone and this is where the business world could perhaps learn something

Schools are now leaning towards multi-option spaces designed to allow for large or small group work with places for teachers to work individually with children

Encouragingly I am starting to see this approach in new office designs now some open plan some small individual office space when people need somewhere quiet to focus for one-on-one interviews or phone calls larger spaces for meetings and just like schools the even bigger space for audio visual presentations or training or social events

It might seem obvious but again research by the Ministry of Education has shown that while good spaces enable they do not guarantee good educational outcomes But poor spaces will definitely impact on educational outcomes In the same way workspace design can definitely affect productivity as well as the health of the people working there with an impact on the bottom line of the business

Take a look around your premises ndash is there room for improvement and if so where might you start When it comes to workspace improvement a little change can make a big difference And if nothing else like a student starting an essay just think about it and hopefully the rest will come

More than 51 of searches on the internet are now done on mobile devices If your website isnrsquot mobile-responsive Google wonrsquot show your website on any device therefore you are potentially missing out on 51 of your market finding your business

1 Rent-a-Chookwwwrentachookcomau

Ever wanted a pet chicken but couldnrsquot quite commit Just rent one then You can rent one from Rent-a-Chook and if you decide you like it you can keep it They sell hens chicken feed coops and anything else a hen might need to survive in your back garden and have been doing so since 2001

The idea is to encourage people to have environmentally sustainable pets so Rent-a-Chook started a try-before-you-buy type business model The business even won a Green Award in 2009

2 Pet Rockwwwpetrockcom

If a chicken is too much for you to handle you could just buy a Pet Rock This business venture goes all the way back to 1975 when founder Gary Dahl joked about owning a pet rock while having a drink with some friends in a bar

The joke soon turned into reality when he recruited two colleagues as investors and started selling smooth rocks all packaged up in their own cardboard carry case (with air holes) complete with a care manual He reportedly made US$15 million

3 Square watermelonsLess a stand-alone business more a widespread craze square watermelons are what happens when good old mother nature asks us to stack round fruits on top of one another without the whole thing coming crashing down A Japanese farmer found a solution some 30 years ago to that problem and here we have the square watermelon

They are created by placing the fruit in a square box while still small and on the vine as it grows it takes the form of the box and et voilagrave Japan has been exporting the fruits all across the world with one USA Today report stating that they were fetching up to US$860 each in Russia in 2013

4 Bed bug Barrierswwwbedbugbarriercomau

Using eco-friendly bug-killing products you can get rid of pests and then use the DIY accessories that attach to the legs of your bed to stop the bugs getting in again (should they come back) It might sound crazy but itrsquos actually quite a neat idea if you need a pest control solution for your home or hotel

5 Grumpy Catwwwgrumpycatscom

Not your typical business venture but the internet sensation that is Grumpy Cat has put online animal fames on the map From one picture posted to Redditcom of her frowning pose in 2012 the cat Tardar Sauce has become the face of all things crabby

She has a book a website an abundance of merchandise and even starred in her own movie Grumpy Catrsquos Worst Christmas Ever A report by a British newspaper claimed the cat had earned over US$100m but that was later denied by the owner

In January 2013 UK enterprise website realbusinesscouk wrote an article about crazy business ideas that actually worked Rated number one on their list was the notorious dating website Ashley Madison ndash you know the site that was recently hacked and had its membersrsquo details wiped across the internet

Well what was once considered a ldquocrazy ideardquo is now known worldwidehellip perhaps not for the best reasons but the concept still took off So maybe donrsquot bin that wild business concept yoursquove been sitting on just yet

Here are a few other examples that prove how successful lsquocrazyrsquo can be sometimes

6 YouTubewwwyoutubecom

YouTube has become the king of online video since it started in 2005 But not only has it made its original founders and current owners Google very rich it has also made its content creators pretty well off too

The site contains channels which people have created to showcase talk about whatever they feel like and many have collected a following large enough to create a full time job out of

One example would be user PewDiePie or Felix Kjellberg a Swedish guy known for his loud video game reviews and colourful use of language According to Forbes he reportedly earned US$74m last year alone and has over 389 million subscribers on his channel That is a lot of cash and a lot of viewers

The relationship between technology and business is of course ubiquitous

Hi-tech tools By Christelle Savry

Here at Irontech we recently completed the design and development of a web-based production system for CNC machine control The solution brings state of the art Software as a Service (SaaS) architecture to the heart of day to day manufacturing operations and showcases the technologyrsquos multiple benefits

Our customerrsquos vision was to develop a modern system where production data would flow seamlessly between the various manufacturing entities allowing the companyrsquos workforce to focus on core high value tasks

As is often the case in this conservative sector the ultimate goals were to improve productivity and quality while reducing wastage In this case the business owner also wanted to design a solution that would be generic enough to be licensed to other manufacturers

With this in mind the team at Irontech identified that a custom SaaS solution was most appropriate to meet the various requirements and delivered a web-based portal hosted in the Microsoft Azure cloud The design also allows for intermittent offline scenarios with automatic data resynchronisation

An integral part of the production process the bespoke portal allows end customer project components to be assigned to individual CNC machines located on the various sites around the country Various factors such as delivery location and current machine load are used to determine optimal workload distribution for the best productivity outcome

Using Restful Web API technology the CNC machines connect to the web portal to retrieve and push production data in real time This cutting edge software has successfully turned a labour intensive system into a fully automated highly efficient process contributing to a higher productivity and a reduced rate of human error

The portal allows other companies to register and manage their own production data completely independently Secure communication with third party software applications is performed using a documented platform-independent web API Companies can therefore design their own interface tailored to their environments and equipment A decentralised directory service can also be provided to allow for single log-in

Like cloud computing the line-of-business SaaS model reduces the total cost of ownership of software by way of economy of scale It optimises the usage of the underlying resources ndash think hardware and services ndash to allow small companies to access high tech solutions at a fraction of the cost of a traditional equivalent lsquoon-premisesrsquo software

In essence the SaaS adds value to the day to day operation of customers factories and the licensing revenue helps recoup the development cost of the system It even generates its own income stream making such an investment highly attractive

Working from home is a very attractive option for many people It offers great flexibility and a work-life balance that we all dream of And as more people seek a better balanced lifestyle an increasing number of professionals are turning this dream into a reality

You may be chasing this goal yourself Either by establishing your own start-up company from the comfort of your home or your current employer might have offered you the opportunity to retire from the office cubicle and relocate to home

But before you pack up your desk and sing sayonara to your work colleagues there are a few factors to take into consideration

While yes there are many benefits of working from home there are some pitfalls to be aware of It is a good idea to weigh up both the negatives and the positives before you throw an office leaving party

ADVANTAGES FlexibilityWorking from home opens up a world of possibilities Having the freedom to choose your own work hours is one of the most notable changes but there are many other elements that yoursquoll have control over For example working from home gives you the freedom and flexibility over your work environment which encompasses the temperature lightening sound such as the choice to play music or not and your overall comfort and atmosphere Whatever mood makes you the happiest and most productive you can create

FocusWorking from home cuts out all of the typical workplace distractions and disturbances yoursquoll no longer encounter annoying interruptions unimportant meetings or distractions from co-workers So it is easy to focus in a calm quiet environment

Substantial savingsThere are many hidden costs associated with working in a traditional office environment from the cost of fuel used while driving back and forth to work parking charges the temptation to buy

expensive lunches and pricey work wardrobes if you are required to dress professionally And of course if you have children there is the cost of childcare But by working from home all of these expenses are literally gone and yoursquore bound to notice a welcome saving

Higher work output Removed from the distractions and stresses of the workplace people often feel a lot happier and as a result work more efficiently and at the end of the day are more productive

DISADVANTAGES Loneliness One of the main disadvantages of working from home that isnrsquot often anticipated is the isolation experienced working alone People often miss the hive of social interaction at the workplace For many people it is their primary environment to meet people and make friends And as a consequence professionals working from home often feel disconnected isolated and depressed

ForgottenBy not physically showing your face in the office on a daily bases you can find yourself

being overlooked and forgotten You may be left out of important company decisions and changes or worse in danger of being overlooked for promotion in favour of staff who are more visibly fighting for the position

Interruptions

Although yoursquove eliminated office distractions a whole new raft of distractions arise from working at home - and they can often be worse Home interruptions can include children friends pets neighbours or the temptation to get chores around the house done To avoid these distractions you need to set clear work hours and let your family and friends know you are unavailable during this time

Work doesnrsquot end

If you fail to create a clear separation between your work and home life you can be at risk of working endlessly Because there is no one enforcing a strict nine to five work day people who work from home often find themselves working longer hours This may be triggered by pressures to prove themselves and their abilities in this arrangement

News |emspWorking life

One of the biggest problems with attempting to change an organisationrsquos culture is that culture is not something you can see feel and touch This doesnrsquot mean itrsquos not real Itrsquos very real ndash particularly in the way it influences our daily lives

Culture is all about behavioural norms expectations placed upon us by the system within which we function

At the societal level we constantly behave according to such behavioural norms When we meet people for the first time we shake their hands But why do we do this Itrsquos because itrsquos lsquowhat we dorsquo ndash itrsquos expected of us

Why do we shake hands and not bump feet or rub elbows We have lsquolearnedrsquo to do it As children we see our parents do it and over time it becomes a cultural normrsquo

Similarly in organisations there are certain lsquoways of doing thingsrsquo In some organisations people have learned that they should simply

Swimming against the tide

Balancing acts | The pros and cons of working from homeBy Laura Baker

keep themselves out of trouble In others they have learned to make sure they never make a mistake In some they have learned that honesty can be career limiting and in others they have learned that itrsquos really a competition to be seen and noticed

After 50 years of research into the factors that influence organisational performance there are very few today who would not rank organisational culture as critical to business success

Customers experience an organisationrsquos culture when they communicate or interface with that organisation Staff experience it every day Friends and partners of staff hear about it in the stories that people tell about their work

Organisational culture is the single biggest reason improvement initiatives fail If an organisationrsquos culture has lsquotaughtrsquo people to simply lsquodo their jobrsquo or always unquestioningly obey the rules there is simply no way that any improvement (or culture change) programme is going to work without addressing that existing culture

Take someone who works in a job that has minimal autonomy and thus little opportunity to think within a culture that does not

welcome honest upward feedback and then ask people to lsquouse their initiativersquo or lsquobe creativersquo or lsquobe accountablersquo and yoursquore really wasting your time (and money)

An organisationrsquos culture either works for it or against it particularly in times of change and adaptation

Being able to clearly identify what aspects of the culture help and what aspects hinder is vital in being able to address culture change initiatives that actually work

Thirty years of research into organisational culture has led Human Synergistics to identify the cultural norms that help promote effective performance and those which inhibit it

The 12 norms are clustered into three groups While there is much more behind each norm than those descriptions listed below these are suitable lsquoone linersrsquo for each

Norms that represent AggressiveDefensive behaviours

bull Find fault in others

bull Be lsquotoughrsquo and powerfulrsquo

bull Compete rather than cooperate

bull Never ever make a mistake

Norms that represent Constructive behavioursbull Strive for excellencebull Learn and growbull Support one anotherbull Build relationshipsPlease those in positions of authority Norms that represent PassiveDefensive behavioursbull Simply follow the rulesbull Push decisions upwardsbull Avoid blame

Each organisation will have its own combination of these norms The more the Constructive norms prevail the more effective the organisationrsquos performance The more the PassiveDefensive norms prevail the more the organisation functions like a non-responsive bureaucracy and the more AggressiveDefensive norms prevail the organisation operates as a bunch of individuals with the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing

By measuring culture it can be lsquoprofiledrsquo Once profiled it can be lsquoseenrsquo Once seen it moves beyond being an intangible concept to a tangible reality Once lsquorealrsquo it can be changed

MAKING IT HIS WAYBy Terri Cluckie

Alasdair Cassels is an icon in Christchurch or he is around Woolston anyway His distinct looks play a part in that status tall frame dark glasses long white hair and moustache - itrsquos quite a striking presence but a humble and friendly one nonetheless

wwwcanterburytodayconz emsp January 2016 | 15

News |emspCover story

The man himself is probably just as iconic as his business ventures during the past few years specifically his boutique shopping arcade The Tannery and the Cassels amp Sons Brewery which he co-owns with his son Zak and son-in-law Joe Shanks

The Cassels family has contributed a lot to the economy of the city with various businesses sprawled throughout Alasdair co-owns the CBD Bar on Madras St as well as the brewery and shopping centre and has recently been working on a project to clean up the Heathcote River

The river itself is something Alasdair seems to dote on Itrsquos partly why he bought the site that The Tannery sits on way back in 1994

ldquoIt told a story straight away of Christchurch in its early days because Christchurch was really settled on the banks of the Heathcoterdquo Alasdair explains

Read anything about Alasdair in the paper or online and yoursquoll probably hear about the Heathcote and Christchurchrsquos early days He canrsquot help but let his passion for the city show Itrsquos understandable though ndash he seems to have known nothing but success in Christchurch

I first met Alasdair on a drizzly spring morning I had met him in the atrium of The Tannery to talk about the site and the shape of the city in general (who else to talk to about the city but a lover of it) but our conversation drifted more towards another of his passions craft beer

He has been making his own beer at home for years and even taught his children how to do it so of course he has set up his own brewery

The Cassels amp Sons Brewery was officially established in 2009 and started out exactly where it sits now in The Brewery bar of The Tannery It got off to a shaky start with the earthquakes following two years after it opened but that didnrsquot knock their confidence

for long In fact the craft beer industry in New Zealand as a whole is booming right now

According to the ANZ New Zealand Craft Beer Industry Insights 2015 report craft beer sales have increased 42 percent in the last year alone Beer exports to Asia have also doubled in the last two years with the Asian market potential being 750 times the size of New Zealand so it would seem now is the time to export

When we spoke Cassels amp Sons didnrsquot yet have the capacity to export due to hand bottling each beer and predominantly using kegs for draft beer or bottles sold at local markets to sell their product But things are very quickly about to change

The Brewery is situated at the entrance of The Tannery and houses their public bar kitchen and hand-built wood fire kettle which they used to brew their first batch of pilsner (itrsquos one of only two in the world according to Alasdair)

If you take a stroll to the bottom end of The Tannery car park you will come across a second building ndash one of Cassels amp Sonsrsquo bigger breweries - itrsquos here that big changes are about to be made

The brewery has just acquired a bottling plant they imported from Czech Republic It is the biggest bottling machine in the craft beer industry in New Zealand and should be up and running in February

The potential this $1m machine carries for Cassels amp Sons is huge The machine a Moravek 21244 Tribloc has a maximum production rate of 7000 bottles per hour and is capable of bottling over six million litres per year which more than out does the current hand-bottling methods of the brewery

ldquoBeer is easier to make and serve in a bar Once you start bottling it itrsquos got to be really technically made otherwise on the way to

market the flavour goes the bubbles go The more sophisticated the machine is the better chance yoursquove got of getting it to market so exporting and everything else becomes an optionrdquo explains Alasdair

He has hopes of bottling other breweriesrsquo beers too ndash another way of giving back to the community

When I met Alasdair in The Tannery he was sat with two other gentlemen clearly well at home in the Victorian-arcade inspired centre surrounded by his friends

We eventually shifted into the corner of a coffee shop to chat Something I didnrsquot realise at the time but quickly caught on to was just how popular Alasdair is Even later when we were taking pictures in the atrium people continuously made jokes with him tried to have a chat and just generally looked his way

Whether thatrsquos because he literally owns the place or because people have so much respect for him Irsquom not sure but even just spending an hour with him I can understand the pull he has

The Tannery is buzzing with business and visitors Itrsquos a really positive place to be

The centre didnrsquot really come to life until after the earthquakes because as Alasdair tells me for one reason or another before then he had struggled to get planning permission from the city council to do anything with the site It wasnrsquot until after the earthquakes that The Tannery began to transform into what it is today

ldquoIt was an absolute tragedy and all of us were shockedrdquo says Alasdair ldquoBut amongst all that was a sense of excitement There really was a sense of being able to do somethingrdquo

He explains that when the city centre was shut down in the aftermath a lot of boutique family-run businesses needed a new place to settle and The Tannery offered them the perfect spot ldquoIt was safety in numbers so dozens of them came hererdquo

The building itself had to be re-built but it meant that Alasdair was able to turn his dreams for the Woolston community into a reality

ldquoI wanted something that was peaceful and uplifting when you walked into it I wanted to make people feel better about things and also give them a chance to escape from the city or from at that stage the beaten up city

ldquoI wanted to create a fantasy and fairytale place which wasnrsquot as hard as it seemsrdquo

Although it took a few years to really get the centre and the businesses it housed off the ground the $20m project now has 65

happy tenants meaning all leases are under occupation A few more expansions are even in the works with Alice in Videoland building a two-screen cinema at the south end of the atrium with the Metropolitan Lounge going above it (a conference centre art gallery)

The news came late last year that Alasdair was planning on selling 45 percent of his shares for The Tannery in an aim to earn back some of the well-spent money he has dedicated to it

He is planning on channelling the money into other projects around Woolston but he is keeping the details under lock and key for now At this point in time itrsquos early days but Alasdair is confident that his shares will sell pretty easily so he can start making tracks on his next plan

He has big hopes for the city overall not just his little corner of it by the Heathcote river

ldquoIn the 50s and 60s Christchurch was a big capital of the South Island We had head offices bigger government departments and big banks here

ldquoNew Zealand went through an economic reform in the 80s and what happened then was head offices and bigger government departments were taken away from Christchurch and went to Auckland and Wellington so we shrunk and the need for a big city shrunk and we were only left with a few parts of town that really were used properly

ldquoCities like to be compact they like to be dense so they work better when therersquos lots of people and things to do and I think this new plan wersquove got will solve that problemrdquo explains Alasdair

Although the majority of Alasdairrsquos focus remains on the Woolston side of town he does talk a fair bit about the city Itrsquos clear he has big hopes for it Hersquos positive of the outcome and knows Christchurch is headed in the right direction

ldquoThe biggest thing we need in town is patience It might not be for a while but it will develop slowly and it will be a good placerdquo

At the end of our interview Alasdair took me along to the Brewery Bar to proudly show off their wood fire kettle He brought it up a few times during our conversation so hersquos clearly proud of it

And it is impressive It took him and his son-in-law six months to build by hand I guess that took his patience too and it must have been worth the wait I hear a Cassels amp Sons pint is damn good wwwthetanneryconz wwwcasselsbreweryconz

Cassels amp Sonsrsquo new Moravek bottling machine has a maximum production rate of 7000 bottles per hour and is capable of bottling over six million litres per year

News |emspMind matters

Mental health days Why worryThe reality is that we work long and hard to do the job wersquove been assigned to do so achieving that worklife balance concept can seem redundant

Sometimes we simply just need a day off to sort ourselves out mentally in order to prevent burnout remain productive and increase our work performance when we return to the job

We often associate days off work with a physical illness but mental wellbeing is generally overlooked Keeping up with everything in life and work can become too much and our brains turn into mush

While a little worry and concern can focus the mind being overly stressed and unhappy isnrsquot good for your health and it isnrsquot good for those around you either Sometimes we (especially workaholics) find it difficult to give ourselves time off work because

We worry about how it might affect other people in the workplace

bull We think we wonrsquot be able to keep up with the workload when we return

bull We worry wersquore missing out

bull We feel guilty or pressured

bull We need the money

bull Or we think we donrsquot need the time off

But if yoursquore physically and emotionally exhausted suffering from sleepless nights feeling constantly stressed snappy at work and home or generally not caring about your work yoursquore on the road to having a meltdown and potentially committing career suicide

Whatrsquos worse working too hard instead of working smart to the best of your ability yet making mistakes - or taking a day off so you can get back to work re-energised and complete tasks to a high standard

While one day off wonrsquot cast away deep underlying stresses and strains it does allow you to step away from the scene of the crime and grab some much needed headspace

If you donrsquot want to eat into your holiday pay ask your boss to take an unpaid half day or full

History is full of poets philosophers and sages espousing the benefits of a positive disposition But it seems scientists disagreeWhy Because it pays to worry a little bit - quite literally

A study published in the Journal of Behavioural Decision Making in 2012 monitored 213 peoplersquos behaviour in relation to a simulated gambling game The study found participants in a sad or worrisome mood were more likely to make logical bets they knew had a higher likelihood of winning even after a series of losses

Whereas positive happy bettors were quicker and more likely to play what they knew was a riskier move Their jovial outlook influenced them to make unpredictable decisions on gut feelings despite the opportunity to play a logical bet

The study shows you are more likely to make winning decisions while you are in an anxious worried state of mind

But these findings donrsquot just apply to gambling The positive effect of this negative feeling translates into the business world In moderation worry can work wonders for your career

Sometimes a negative attitude is actually beneficial trait to have because it allows you to look at a situation in a more realistic light Feeling worried means you are more likely to make a logical decision with a higher outcome of success compared with your cheerful counterpart in the same situation

There is no danger of over promising and under delivering because you are thinking realistically Worry helps to rein in out of this world ideas it also assists with assessing the risks and obstacles in front of you

Worry can be the side effect of a strong desire to achieve perfection And in the pursuit of perfection worry can prompt you to double check and even triple check your work Without worry there is a risk you can become complacent a little too relaxed and more likely to make a mistake

Under a moderate amount of worry you are capable of learning and remembering new information more effectively This is because the primary stress hormone cortisol improves learning and memory at moderate concentrations compared to low or high concentrations

Worry has also been linked to accelerate career promotions and overall success An international study in Perspectives on Psychological Science in 2007 monitored 118519 peoplersquos careers

The study found those who are less happy attain higher salaries and more education while people who are very happy tend to form more rewarding relationships

People who are more susceptible to worry consequently exhibit the following personality traits

PROSbull More attentive to detailbull More motivated to work bull More polite and attentive to othersbull Vigilant for risks and threats

CONS bull Overcautious bull Less creativebull At risk of becoming too stressedbull More closed minded

In comparison worry-free people exhibit these contrasting behaviours

PROSbull More creativebull Form better relationshipsbull Healthierbull Willing to explore

CONSbull Prone to overlooking threats and dangersbull Open to unwise risks bull More gulliblebull Lacking appropriate embarrassment or guilt

By Laura Baker

day off And remember you donrsquot have to tell your co-workers that yoursquore taking a mental health day just that you wonrsquot be available

Whether you intend to be busy carrying out chores around the house exercising enjoying some retail therapy or you intend to do the complete opposite and catch up on sleep for the whole day a mental health day is whatever it means to you to be completely free

Just remember to plan ahead by informing your boss and colleagues of your leave in advance so they can work around it This way you wonrsquot need to worry about how your absence may affect others

And make sure when you take your mental health day work stays at work ndash donrsquot bring it home with you Turn your mobile phone off donrsquot check work related emails and certainly donrsquot take home any paperwork Emergencyrsquos only please

At the end of the day your health is important Provide some relief by paying attention to yourself and live a healthier life

Health and safety is paramount for operators involved in the use of elevated work platforms

So when it comes time to validating your competency you want to choose the best training course available

Accessman is New Zealandrsquos leading specialised hire company providing scissor lifts cherry pickers knucklebooms and mobile scaffolding Itrsquos now leading the field as an accredited IPAF training provider to complement the existing Silvercard NZQA training it currently offers

The company launched the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) accredited training programme throughout the South Island in November as one of two companies nationwide to do so

The internationally recognised course was developed by leading industry professionals and is aimed at users of elevated work platforms generally in the construction industry and certifies operators in the machines of their choice IPAF training conforms to the international standard ISO 18878 - Mobile Elevating Work Platforms Operator training and ISO 9001 - Quality Management Systems

The Accessman Group general manager Lena Harrington says health and safety is a priority not only within the company but throughout the industry So when Accessman saw the opportunity to provide the renowned IPAF training programme it jumped at the chance

ldquoI think the marketplace needed an alternative qualification IPAFrsquos rigid testing structure ensures that only competent operators are awarded the

qualification which provides employers with peace of mind that their staff have been thoroughly trained ndash they will not pass unless they are competentrdquo

IPAF training was founded in the UK and today has 600 training outlets worldwide which are responsible for qualifying over 100000 people per year IPAF recognised the Accessman Group had the platform required to release the qualification to the New Zealand market in partnership with Total Access in the North Island

To become an accredited training centre a senior IPAF auditor was brought out from the UK to put Accessmanrsquos training staff through the intensive instructorrsquos course

ldquoObviously our staff had to have a significant amount of experience within the industry before they were eligible to become IPAF instructors some of whom are also qualified to train both IPAF and Silvercard NZQA The training venues also had to meet some fairly stringent requirementsrdquo Lena says

The course is comprised of both practical and theory based learning with assessments The classes are kept small to maximise individual learning and the training centres are regularly audited to ensure they meet and adhere to the IPAF standards Training centres also receive regular updates to ensure that attendees are receiving the best training possible Attendees of IPAF training receive a Powered Access Licence (PAL) card The PAL card is valid for five years and is internationally recognised It can also be instantly verified by anyone via an online database which not only includes a photo of the card holder but details of the card

Five reasons to attend an IPAF training programmeThe PAL card is valid for five yearsThe PAL card is internationally recognisedThe card can be instantly verified via an online databaseExpert training by leading industry professionals in small class sizesOn completion participants receive a PAL card log book and an operator handbook

expiration date and machines the card holder can operate In addition they also receive a log book to record their machine use and an operator handbook

Lena says the PAL card is useful to the large number of contractors from overseas in the city thanks to its international recognition ldquoContractors are coming and going all the time in Christchurch at the moment so it makes sense that they have a qualification that is transferablerdquo In addition all reputable manufacturers of elevated work platforms worldwide are members of IPAF an alignment that strengthens the service the not for profit federation provides

But the only independently owned and operated airline in the country isnrsquot going into competition with the large airlines Ewan says it aims to carve out a niche for itself in the regional centres

ldquoWe deliberately avoid direct competition with Air New Zealand and Jetstar by developing regional to regional routesrdquo He says its goal is to develop its niche markets stay disciplined respond to customer demand and provide a safe sustainable air service to regional New Zealand

The fledging airline services Hamilton Nelson Dunedin and Tauranga Its route network flies direct from Hamilton to Nelson Nelson to Dunedin and Tauranga to Nelson It operated its first scheduled passenger service on October 27 and has received amazing support on the Dunedin direct to Nelson service and Nelson direct to Hamilton

Back in the 1980s I trained for and gained a Private Pilotrsquos Licence (PPL) Although quite a number of years have passed since then I have never forgotten the joy and exhilaration of being in the air watching the world go by below There is an immense feeling of freedom to this recreational activity and every time you fly it is different in some way Other people such as Richie McCaw know the wonder of aviation and it is there for the taking

Take a trial flight at the South Canterbury Aero Club and see if you donrsquot become addicted

Proudly Supporting Window Treatments for over 10 Years

As New Zealandrsquos largest independently owned blind shutter awning and insect screen manufacturing and retail company Window Treatments offer products that follow the latest international trends

The company has retail stores and mobile showrooms throughout the country including nine across the South Island

It has an exciting range of new products available for the summer season including exterior awnings that are designed for longevity in harsh coastal environments

Owner Graeme Rose says the Palladio cassetted folding arm awning is a new generation awning ideal for home patios shops and kiosks offering unobstructed passage underneath It is made from aluminium marine-grade stainless steel fittings and fabrics designed for the outdoors

ldquoPalladio is fully cassetted so it protects the fabric when the awning is retractedrdquo he says

ldquoIt can cover everything up to seven metres in width and a projection of up to 36 metres Itrsquos very large and is ideal for creating that indoor-outdoor environment where you want sun or wind protectionrdquo

Other new awnings from Window Treatments include the Italia box radial arm awning which is ideal for both residential and commercial installations and the Terrazza pergola awning

Graeme says another exciting new product is the Securo side roller blind which rolls from side to side rather than up and down like a conventional roller blind

ldquoItrsquos particularly good for ranch sliders where you need some light control and it also doubles as an insect screen The beauty is you can roll it back just enough to get outside while still having your ranch slider open With a conventional roller blind yoursquod have to roll it right up to go through the doorrdquo

Focus | Tekapo Springs

Tekapo Springs is a year-round attraction beloved by visitors from across the globe In early 2015 the resort announced plans to open new multi-million dollar facilities for visitors families and locals to enjoy from late December onwards ndash and itrsquos finally here

New pools take Tekapo Springs to the next level

The new additions include three new pool areas including an aqua playspray area for kids and teens a beach accessed kidsrsquo pool and an adultsrsquo deep water pool

The pools all run at cooler water temperatures of 33 degrees Celsius for the kidsrsquo pool and aqua play area and 28 degrees Celsius for the adultsrsquo pool

Tekapo Springs owner and managing director Karl Burtscher says the aim is to offer a dditional entertaining aquatic options for families children and adults He also says the need to offer a wider temperature range of pool water was important especially during the summer months

Karl explains that the new additions completely open up the resort and create even more

opportunities for guests to gaze upon Lake Tekapo while enjoying the facilities

ldquoYou can now get down to pool level and really appreciate the views from the new adult pool in particular which quite possibly will have the best overall views down Lake Tekapo of any of the pools ndash old and newrdquo

The new pool additions themed lsquoHigh Country Tarnsrsquo each with its own distinctive shade of aqua green ndash were designed to complement the three existing hot pools and are part of Tekapo Springsrsquo long term growth strategy for expanding its aquatic attractions and offering a wider range of water temperatures and features

The new pools will also run through winter depending on outside weather temperatures

Focus | Tekapo Springs

A tight scheduleSince the first sod was turned on September 1 2015 progress was swift and exciting With the new pools taking shape and initial landscaping underway Tekapo Springs staff were thrilled to see dreams become reality

As of November 25 fibre glass spraying and painting of the adultsrsquo pool had been completed with fibre glass spraying commencing on the childrenrsquos cold pool a few days after

Karl says as the pools literally took shape on a daily basis staff could start to get a sense of what they would be delivering to guests

A helping handThe design concept of the pools came from Karl himself and he even completed some of the earth and civil works while co-ordinating the whole project

Although Karl played a major hand in bringing the new additions to life he received a wide slot of help from both local companies and others from around New Zealand

Those involved included H2O Water Systems from Auckland doing the pool plant High Country Carpentry from Fairlie doing all the building and formwork Stephen Styles Block and Brick doing block work Murray Linton Concrete doing concrete laying Reflex Industrial doing fibre glassing and Damon Smith Electrical and Prolec (Professional Electric) from Christchurch doing controls and automation

The perfect spotTekapo Springs is nestled on the shores of stunning Lake Tekapo boasting a unique mix of summer and winter recreation and relaxation

Open 364 days a year the attraction already includes three existing outdoor hot pools a steam and sauna facility an ice rink water slides summer and winter tubing a day spa cafeacute and fully licensed bar

The company has evolved into a year-round ldquomust-dordquo on the bucket list of many visitors to the South Island as well as stamping its mark as an important centrepiece in the Tekapo community

The new pools are a testament to the companyrsquos drive to grow and develop while continuously exceeding customer expectations The three new pools help step-up Tekapo Springsrsquo summer offering and put it among one of the countryrsquos leading tourism operators CT

Finance | Hamilton Hindin Greene

Christchurch businesses are all too familiar with the struggles and obstacles that come with upheaving an office and moving to a new location One local business that understands the struggle all too well is Hamilton Hindin Greene

The investment advisory firm has endured a turbulent and unsettled time since the February 2011 earthquake It has almost consistently been on the move from one premise to the next moving offices five times in the last five years

CEO Ian Perry explains that one day before the earthquake Hamilton Hindin Greene shifted from its office on Hereford Street in the old National Bank building where it had been based for 30 years to the BDO building on Victoria Street When the February quake struck it had just over a day to move everything out of the damaged building but luckily no one was hurt Ian says

In the following chaos it moved to a space above the Dinghyrsquos amp Outboards warehouse on Lincoln Road ldquothen that got knocked downrdquo In 2012 it shifted into a brand new building on Manchester Street called Westende House

ldquoIt was 140 percent up to code and we thought it was going to be our permanent location Then suddenly we got notice when the councilrsquos transport plan was released that the planners had decided they wanted to purchase the building to knock it down and widen the road

ldquoFinally in June 2014 we moved into where we are today at level 1 83 Victoria Street The office is located on the corner of Peterborough Street and hopefully wersquoll never have to move againrdquo

What Hamilton Hindin Greene can do for you Hamilton Hindin Greene is a boutique personalised and specialist investment advisory service It has evolved from solely operating as a share broker when it was established almost a century ago to the diverse investment advisory firm it is today

ldquoWe are no longer the traditional share broker who just deals in New Zealand shares We are investment advisors who use a diversified approach to investing in local and international shares and bonds to provide investment solutions to a range of peoplerdquo

Clients are paired with a personal advisor who takes them through the investment planning process to develop a risk profile for the particular objectives they want to achieve

The advisor then builds a bespoke profile using local Australian and international shares ldquoWe help them to select the right mix of good quality companies so over the long term theyrsquoll make an appropriate return for the risk they want to takerdquo

The advisor oversees the day to day running of clients portfolios and provides advice on potential outcomes of their investments ldquoOur advice is always customised to that particular individuals needsrdquo CT

The organ is the grandest of instruments Itrsquos been referred to as the closest to heaven instrument on earth with a sound thatrsquos powerful rich and deeply moving

Restoring heritage pieces to their former glory

Keeping such instruments in pristine working order is a highly specialised craft One company that has these skills in such a niche field is the South Island Organ Company (SIOC) based in Timaru

Established in 1968 SIOC has been in continuous operation now for nearly 50 years The company offers tuning and maintenance of organs historic restorations and artistic rebuilds as well as new organ builds throughout New Zealand and overseas They are widely recognised as one of the leading firms specialising in pipe organ restoration and rebuilding

The SIOC has worked on literally hundreds of organs Some of the projects have been very large and complex such as their current restoration of Wellingtonrsquos fabulous 1906 Town Hall organ In 1997 at St Patrickrsquos Basilica Fremantle they rebuilt the largest church organ in Australia In 2008 they rebuilt the organ in UWArsquos Winthrop Hall and in 2010 the interconnected organs of St Maryrsquos Cathedral both in the city of Perth

Back in New Zealand a very special project completed late last year was the rebuild of the historic organ of Knox Presbyterian Church in Christchurch after both church and organ were badly damaged in the 201011 earthquakes

SIOCrsquos 12 man team reconstructed the original organ added some more pipes and a digital transmission to facilitate the mobilised and

ldquoEverything we do is quality old-fashioned craftsmanship made to last or to be restored We are not in the throw away utility market but in the heritage market creating one-off pieces that are going to become art works of the futurerdquo CT

adapted 1914 console in accordance with the Churchrsquos stated mission to provide a flexible concert space in the inner city

This project is a clear example of the way SIOC can incorporate leading-edge technology such as computerised digital playing aids and playback systems into organ restorations and rebuilds without compromising heritage

There is however another aspect to the work of the SIOC which may seem unrelated ndash but actually there is a connection The company can also restore precious antique furniture and create new custom joinery

This side of the operation is led by Zack Bennett a specialist in antique furniture restoration in carving and in sculpture as well as in the design and manufacture of customised joinery Zack is about to direct restoration of the historic 19th century reredos in St Saviourrsquos church in Lyttelton ndash a highly intricate project involving earthquake damaged timber and ceramic tiles So diversification is definitely the name of the game for the SIOC

An ever increasing social conscience about energy use and the effect it has on our environment is causing companies like Solar Bright to look into alternative options Using solar power technology the Christchurch-based team is making leaps and bounds with energy-generating products which are spreading throughout the city and beyond

You may recognise Solar Bright as the company behind the solar-powered table in the city centrersquos ReStart mall which visitors could use to charge their mobile devices that were running low

The table which was on loan to the council has now been relocated to a new home at Burnside High School Being the largest school in the South Island the team at Solar Bright donated the table to the school knowing they would get good use out of it

It seems the team at Solar Bright has not stopped since then They have created and installed five more tables that are dotted around the city have had interest from North Canterbury and Auckland City Council for similar products and have even installed a solar shelter in Linwood for people to charge their devices in

Managing director Nicola Martin explains that the hunger for electricity is growing dramatically and solar energy provides an effective solution

ldquoItrsquos just using what naturersquos already given us Itrsquos a renewable source of energy and means not having to rely solely on electricityrdquo

At the moment Solar Bright is also trialling the charging tables at the McDonaldrsquos restaurants on Moorhouse Ave and in Sydenham The idea is to see how the technology will work indoors and what kind of savings the chains will make on electricity bills as customers are increasingly using power points in store to charge their devices with

Nicola explained that these solar powered charging outlets are a great solution to electricity blackouts If power were ever cut from the city again people would have places like the tables and shelters to use to make sure their mobiles and devices stay on the green light making sure communication methods are protected during emergencies

But charging mobile phones and tablets ar e not the only good ideas Solar Bright has In 2012 Nicolarsquos husband and inventor of their products

Pat Martin realised the need for the detection of frost on roads and came up with PATeye technology

It is again solar powered via the sun and headlights from cars during the night and works the same sort of way that cats eyes currently do on roads around the world

With PATeye the devices installed on roads will flash blue LED lights when the air temperature reaches a certain level to warn people of the potential dangers of slipping

Due to regulations around the world it may take a little while for Solar Bright to weave through the legislation of installing the device on public roads but for now they are rolling out PATeyes on private roads car parks and pathways

Lincoln University Kiwi Rail Dunedin City Council Christchurch Polytechnic and even private NHS roads in the UK are just some of the institutions already using the technology

Solar Bright won two awards at this yearrsquos Champion Canterbury Awards for the Champion Producer Manufacturer as a small enterprise and the CDC Innovation Award for its ldquoinnovative sustainable energy-efficient lighting solutions which enhance safety and lifestyle both domestically and internationallyrdquo CT

Interior design is no longer a stand-alone field it blends seamlessly into so many other areas of life setting the scene for a larger picture incorporating art retail and fine foods

The art of interior designInterior designer and co-owner of Frobisher Interiors Ann-Marie Appleton saw the opportunity to bring together these complementing crafts into one location and create an entirely new interior design experience in Christchurch She and her team at Frobisher Interiors proudly opened the innovative new store on Manchester Street a year ago

The completely modern take on the store is unlike anything around ldquoWe are the only interior design business in the city that encompasses everything that interior design is about in one building Wersquove gone far beyond what is traditionally expected from an interior design shoprdquo

The industry leading store is a complete interior design shopping experience beautifully flowing uninterrupted from a coffee shop meeting space retail store fabric samples area to art gallery

The blended retail space offers everything and anything you might need ldquoThe draw card initially for customers especially for people who donrsquot know us as interior designers is the coffee shop and meeting space From there they can see beyond into the retail space which is adorned with beautiful little gifts and lovely things to buy for the home to larger items such as furniture and our interior design servicerdquo

Frobisher Interiors previously operated from a small villa in Merivale which was too small for

its needs The villa only just housed the team of staff restricted the number of samples on display and failed to properly showcase its work

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Designed to handle any load

cab chassis ldquoWe used to make the floor of a tipdeck to 6mm but with Hardox we can make them out of 4mm steel which makes a big difference to the weightrdquo

Quick turn around If you need a tipper body fast at a competitive rate Brokenshire Engineering is the team to call It has truck bodies in stock right now that can be custom-painted and fitted to a truck within two weeks But if you canrsquot find the right body in stock Brokenshire can custom-build paint install the pump oil tank and gas controls and fit it to the truck for just $45000 plus GST

Unparalleled products Brokenshirersquos ability to design and built anything for truck and trailers is unparalleled It builds new semi-tipper truck bodies and is the only business in the country that makes smooth surfaced runner-less tipper bodies

ldquoWe are the only people who make runner-less tipper bodies Most tipper bodies have got channels on them we donrsquot use channels This is the latest European designrdquo

It can also convert hydraulic truck breaks to an air break system and has three and five tonne full air axels on air suspension or springs available Henry has been in the transport engineering industry for 50 years and he says this experience in the industry means he can take on the difficult jobs that other people donrsquot want to CT

ldquoThis dialogue ensures that best results are achieved through a synthesis of concept beauty and functional integrationrdquo

The practice offers a full range of architectural services from inception to completion covering everything from feasibility design documentation and planning to contract procurement and contract administration

Its extensive experience enables it to advise clients at the outset of differing site and building options within the context of planning guidelines and development control constraints

Projects range from new homes and buildings to alterations within existing structures additions and furniture design

offering a range of quality services including residential commercial industrial hospitality and community projects

Wulf says his practice is committed to providing only high quality design and undertakes thorough communication with clients consultants contractors and end users throughout the process

ldquoFor us every commission is unique and special in its own way and we encourage our clients to be involved throughout the design and construction process as this always brings about a more rewarding result

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Therersquos a big focus on getting everyone involved including parents some of whom go on to achieve their lifeguard award CT

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

1 Rent-a-Chookwwwrentachookcomau

Ever wanted a pet chicken but couldnrsquot quite commit Just rent one then You can rent one from Rent-a-Chook and if you decide you like it you can keep it They sell hens chicken feed coops and anything else a hen might need to survive in your back garden and have been doing so since 2001

The idea is to encourage people to have environmentally sustainable pets so Rent-a-Chook started a try-before-you-buy type business model The business even won a Green Award in 2009

2 Pet Rockwwwpetrockcom

If a chicken is too much for you to handle you could just buy a Pet Rock This business venture goes all the way back to 1975 when founder Gary Dahl joked about owning a pet rock while having a drink with some friends in a bar

The joke soon turned into reality when he recruited two colleagues as investors and started selling smooth rocks all packaged up in their own cardboard carry case (with air holes) complete with a care manual He reportedly made US$15 million

3 Square watermelonsLess a stand-alone business more a widespread craze square watermelons are what happens when good old mother nature asks us to stack round fruits on top of one another without the whole thing coming crashing down A Japanese farmer found a solution some 30 years ago to that problem and here we have the square watermelon

They are created by placing the fruit in a square box while still small and on the vine as it grows it takes the form of the box and et voilagrave Japan has been exporting the fruits all across the world with one USA Today report stating that they were fetching up to US$860 each in Russia in 2013

4 Bed bug Barrierswwwbedbugbarriercomau

If the name doesnrsquot already tell you this businessrsquo sole purpose in life is to defend your precious bed against nasty bugs They have a range of products that are designed to create a three-step process kill prevent protect

Using eco-friendly bug-killing products you can get rid of pests and then use the DIY accessories that attach to the legs of your bed to stop the bugs getting in again (should they come back) It might sound crazy but itrsquos actually quite a neat idea if you need a pest control solution for your home or hotel

5 Grumpy Catwwwgrumpycatscom

Not your typical business venture but the internet sensation that is Grumpy Cat has put online animal fames on the map From one picture posted to Redditcom of her frowning pose in 2012 the cat Tardar Sauce has become the face of all things crabby

She has a book a website an abundance of merchandise and even starred in her own movie Grumpy Catrsquos Worst Christmas Ever A report by a British newspaper claimed the cat had earned over US$100m but that was later denied by the owner

In January 2013 UK enterprise website realbusinesscouk wrote an article about crazy business ideas that actually worked Rated number one on their list was the notorious dating website Ashley Madison ndash you know the site that was recently hacked and had its membersrsquo details wiped across the internet

Well what was once considered a ldquocrazy ideardquo is now known worldwidehellip perhaps not for the best reasons but the concept still took off So maybe donrsquot bin that wild business concept yoursquove been sitting on just yet

Here are a few other examples that prove how successful lsquocrazyrsquo can be sometimes

crazy concepts that worked 6

6 YouTubewwwyoutubecom

YouTube has become the king of online video since it started in 2005 But not only has it made its original founders and current owners Google very rich it has also made its content creators pretty well off too

The site contains channels which people have created to showcase talk about whatever they feel like and many have collected a following large enough to create a full time job out of

One example would be user PewDiePie or Felix Kjellberg a Swedish guy known for his loud video game reviews and colourful use of language According to Forbes he reportedly earned US$74m last year alone and has over 389 million subscribers on his channel That is a lot of cash and a lot of viewers

The relationship between technology and business is of course ubiquitous

Hi-tech tools By Christelle Savry

Here at Irontech we recently completed the design and development of a web-based production system for CNC machine control The solution brings state of the art Software as a Service (SaaS) architecture to the heart of day to day manufacturing operations and showcases the technologyrsquos multiple benefits

Our customerrsquos vision was to develop a modern system where production data would flow seamlessly between the various manufacturing entities allowing the companyrsquos workforce to focus on core high value tasks

As is often the case in this conservative sector the ultimate goals were to improve productivity and quality while reducing wastage In this case the business owner also wanted to design a solution that would be generic enough to be licensed to other manufacturers

With this in mind the team at Irontech identified that a custom SaaS solution was most appropriate to meet the various requirements and delivered a web-based portal hosted in the Microsoft Azure cloud The design also allows for intermittent offline scenarios with automatic data resynchronisation

An integral part of the production process the bespoke portal allows end customer project components to be assigned to individual CNC machines located on the various sites around the country Various factors such as delivery location and current machine load are used to determine optimal workload distribution for the best productivity outcome

Using Restful Web API technology the CNC machines connect to the web portal to retrieve and push production data in real time This cutting edge software has successfully turned a labour intensive system into a fully automated highly efficient process contributing to a higher productivity and a reduced rate of human error

The portal allows other companies to register and manage their own production data completely independently Secure communication with third party software applications is performed using a documented platform-independent web API Companies can therefore design their own interface tailored to their environments and equipment A decentralised directory service can also be provided to allow for single log-in

Like cloud computing the line-of-business SaaS model reduces the total cost of ownership of software by way of economy of scale It optimises the usage of the underlying resources ndash think hardware and services ndash to allow small companies to access high tech solutions at a fraction of the cost of a traditional equivalent lsquoon-premisesrsquo software

In essence the SaaS adds value to the day to day operation of customers factories and the licensing revenue helps recoup the development cost of the system It even generates its own income stream making such an investment highly attractive

Working from home is a very attractive option for many people It offers great flexibility and a work-life balance that we all dream of And as more people seek a better balanced lifestyle an increasing number of professionals are turning this dream into a reality

You may be chasing this goal yourself Either by establishing your own start-up company from the comfort of your home or your current employer might have offered you the opportunity to retire from the office cubicle and relocate to home

But before you pack up your desk and sing sayonara to your work colleagues there are a few factors to take into consideration

While yes there are many benefits of working from home there are some pitfalls to be aware of It is a good idea to weigh up both the negatives and the positives before you throw an office leaving party

ADVANTAGES FlexibilityWorking from home opens up a world of possibilities Having the freedom to choose your own work hours is one of the most notable changes but there are many other elements that yoursquoll have control over For example working from home gives you the freedom and flexibility over your work environment which encompasses the temperature lightening sound such as the choice to play music or not and your overall comfort and atmosphere Whatever mood makes you the happiest and most productive you can create

FocusWorking from home cuts out all of the typical workplace distractions and disturbances yoursquoll no longer encounter annoying interruptions unimportant meetings or distractions from co-workers So it is easy to focus in a calm quiet environment

Substantial savingsThere are many hidden costs associated with working in a traditional office environment from the cost of fuel used while driving back and forth to work parking charges the temptation to buy

expensive lunches and pricey work wardrobes if you are required to dress professionally And of course if you have children there is the cost of childcare But by working from home all of these expenses are literally gone and yoursquore bound to notice a welcome saving

Higher work output Removed from the distractions and stresses of the workplace people often feel a lot happier and as a result work more efficiently and at the end of the day are more productive

DISADVANTAGES Loneliness One of the main disadvantages of working from home that isnrsquot often anticipated is the isolation experienced working alone People often miss the hive of social interaction at the workplace For many people it is their primary environment to meet people and make friends And as a consequence professionals working from home often feel disconnected isolated and depressed

ForgottenBy not physically showing your face in the office on a daily bases you can find yourself

being overlooked and forgotten You may be left out of important company decisions and changes or worse in danger of being overlooked for promotion in favour of staff who are more visibly fighting for the position

Interruptions

Although yoursquove eliminated office distractions a whole new raft of distractions arise from working at home - and they can often be worse Home interruptions can include children friends pets neighbours or the temptation to get chores around the house done To avoid these distractions you need to set clear work hours and let your family and friends know you are unavailable during this time

Work doesnrsquot end

If you fail to create a clear separation between your work and home life you can be at risk of working endlessly Because there is no one enforcing a strict nine to five work day people who work from home often find themselves working longer hours This may be triggered by pressures to prove themselves and their abilities in this arrangement

News |emspWorking life

One of the biggest problems with attempting to change an organisationrsquos culture is that culture is not something you can see feel and touch This doesnrsquot mean itrsquos not real Itrsquos very real ndash particularly in the way it influences our daily lives

Culture is all about behavioural norms expectations placed upon us by the system within which we function

At the societal level we constantly behave according to such behavioural norms When we meet people for the first time we shake their hands But why do we do this Itrsquos because itrsquos lsquowhat we dorsquo ndash itrsquos expected of us

Why do we shake hands and not bump feet or rub elbows We have lsquolearnedrsquo to do it As children we see our parents do it and over time it becomes a cultural normrsquo

Similarly in organisations there are certain lsquoways of doing thingsrsquo In some organisations people have learned that they should simply

Swimming against the tide

Balancing acts | The pros and cons of working from homeBy Laura Baker

keep themselves out of trouble In others they have learned to make sure they never make a mistake In some they have learned that honesty can be career limiting and in others they have learned that itrsquos really a competition to be seen and noticed

After 50 years of research into the factors that influence organisational performance there are very few today who would not rank organisational culture as critical to business success

Customers experience an organisationrsquos culture when they communicate or interface with that organisation Staff experience it every day Friends and partners of staff hear about it in the stories that people tell about their work

Organisational culture is the single biggest reason improvement initiatives fail If an organisationrsquos culture has lsquotaughtrsquo people to simply lsquodo their jobrsquo or always unquestioningly obey the rules there is simply no way that any improvement (or culture change) programme is going to work without addressing that existing culture

Take someone who works in a job that has minimal autonomy and thus little opportunity to think within a culture that does not

welcome honest upward feedback and then ask people to lsquouse their initiativersquo or lsquobe creativersquo or lsquobe accountablersquo and yoursquore really wasting your time (and money)

An organisationrsquos culture either works for it or against it particularly in times of change and adaptation

Being able to clearly identify what aspects of the culture help and what aspects hinder is vital in being able to address culture change initiatives that actually work

Thirty years of research into organisational culture has led Human Synergistics to identify the cultural norms that help promote effective performance and those which inhibit it

The 12 norms are clustered into three groups While there is much more behind each norm than those descriptions listed below these are suitable lsquoone linersrsquo for each

Norms that represent AggressiveDefensive behaviours

bull Find fault in others

bull Be lsquotoughrsquo and powerfulrsquo

bull Compete rather than cooperate

bull Never ever make a mistake

Norms that represent Constructive behavioursbull Strive for excellencebull Learn and growbull Support one anotherbull Build relationshipsPlease those in positions of authority Norms that represent PassiveDefensive behavioursbull Simply follow the rulesbull Push decisions upwardsbull Avoid blame

Each organisation will have its own combination of these norms The more the Constructive norms prevail the more effective the organisationrsquos performance The more the PassiveDefensive norms prevail the more the organisation functions like a non-responsive bureaucracy and the more AggressiveDefensive norms prevail the organisation operates as a bunch of individuals with the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing

By measuring culture it can be lsquoprofiledrsquo Once profiled it can be lsquoseenrsquo Once seen it moves beyond being an intangible concept to a tangible reality Once lsquorealrsquo it can be changed

MAKING IT HIS WAYBy Terri Cluckie

Alasdair Cassels is an icon in Christchurch or he is around Woolston anyway His distinct looks play a part in that status tall frame dark glasses long white hair and moustache - itrsquos quite a striking presence but a humble and friendly one nonetheless

wwwcanterburytodayconz emsp January 2016 | 15

News |emspCover story

The man himself is probably just as iconic as his business ventures during the past few years specifically his boutique shopping arcade The Tannery and the Cassels amp Sons Brewery which he co-owns with his son Zak and son-in-law Joe Shanks

The Cassels family has contributed a lot to the economy of the city with various businesses sprawled throughout Alasdair co-owns the CBD Bar on Madras St as well as the brewery and shopping centre and has recently been working on a project to clean up the Heathcote River

The river itself is something Alasdair seems to dote on Itrsquos partly why he bought the site that The Tannery sits on way back in 1994

ldquoIt told a story straight away of Christchurch in its early days because Christchurch was really settled on the banks of the Heathcoterdquo Alasdair explains

Read anything about Alasdair in the paper or online and yoursquoll probably hear about the Heathcote and Christchurchrsquos early days He canrsquot help but let his passion for the city show Itrsquos understandable though ndash he seems to have known nothing but success in Christchurch

I first met Alasdair on a drizzly spring morning I had met him in the atrium of The Tannery to talk about the site and the shape of the city in general (who else to talk to about the city but a lover of it) but our conversation drifted more towards another of his passions craft beer

He has been making his own beer at home for years and even taught his children how to do it so of course he has set up his own brewery

The Cassels amp Sons Brewery was officially established in 2009 and started out exactly where it sits now in The Brewery bar of The Tannery It got off to a shaky start with the earthquakes following two years after it opened but that didnrsquot knock their confidence

for long In fact the craft beer industry in New Zealand as a whole is booming right now

According to the ANZ New Zealand Craft Beer Industry Insights 2015 report craft beer sales have increased 42 percent in the last year alone Beer exports to Asia have also doubled in the last two years with the Asian market potential being 750 times the size of New Zealand so it would seem now is the time to export

When we spoke Cassels amp Sons didnrsquot yet have the capacity to export due to hand bottling each beer and predominantly using kegs for draft beer or bottles sold at local markets to sell their product But things are very quickly about to change

The Brewery is situated at the entrance of The Tannery and houses their public bar kitchen and hand-built wood fire kettle which they used to brew their first batch of pilsner (itrsquos one of only two in the world according to Alasdair)

If you take a stroll to the bottom end of The Tannery car park you will come across a second building ndash one of Cassels amp Sonsrsquo bigger breweries - itrsquos here that big changes are about to be made

The brewery has just acquired a bottling plant they imported from Czech Republic It is the biggest bottling machine in the craft beer industry in New Zealand and should be up and running in February

The potential this $1m machine carries for Cassels amp Sons is huge The machine a Moravek 21244 Tribloc has a maximum production rate of 7000 bottles per hour and is capable of bottling over six million litres per year which more than out does the current hand-bottling methods of the brewery

ldquoBeer is easier to make and serve in a bar Once you start bottling it itrsquos got to be really technically made otherwise on the way to

market the flavour goes the bubbles go The more sophisticated the machine is the better chance yoursquove got of getting it to market so exporting and everything else becomes an optionrdquo explains Alasdair

He has hopes of bottling other breweriesrsquo beers too ndash another way of giving back to the community

When I met Alasdair in The Tannery he was sat with two other gentlemen clearly well at home in the Victorian-arcade inspired centre surrounded by his friends

We eventually shifted into the corner of a coffee shop to chat Something I didnrsquot realise at the time but quickly caught on to was just how popular Alasdair is Even later when we were taking pictures in the atrium people continuously made jokes with him tried to have a chat and just generally looked his way

Whether thatrsquos because he literally owns the place or because people have so much respect for him Irsquom not sure but even just spending an hour with him I can understand the pull he has

The Tannery is buzzing with business and visitors Itrsquos a really positive place to be

The centre didnrsquot really come to life until after the earthquakes because as Alasdair tells me for one reason or another before then he had struggled to get planning permission from the city council to do anything with the site It wasnrsquot until after the earthquakes that The Tannery began to transform into what it is today

ldquoIt was an absolute tragedy and all of us were shockedrdquo says Alasdair ldquoBut amongst all that was a sense of excitement There really was a sense of being able to do somethingrdquo

He explains that when the city centre was shut down in the aftermath a lot of boutique family-run businesses needed a new place to settle and The Tannery offered them the perfect spot ldquoIt was safety in numbers so dozens of them came hererdquo

The building itself had to be re-built but it meant that Alasdair was able to turn his dreams for the Woolston community into a reality

ldquoI wanted something that was peaceful and uplifting when you walked into it I wanted to make people feel better about things and also give them a chance to escape from the city or from at that stage the beaten up city

ldquoI wanted to create a fantasy and fairytale place which wasnrsquot as hard as it seemsrdquo

Although it took a few years to really get the centre and the businesses it housed off the ground the $20m project now has 65

happy tenants meaning all leases are under occupation A few more expansions are even in the works with Alice in Videoland building a two-screen cinema at the south end of the atrium with the Metropolitan Lounge going above it (a conference centre art gallery)

The news came late last year that Alasdair was planning on selling 45 percent of his shares for The Tannery in an aim to earn back some of the well-spent money he has dedicated to it

He is planning on channelling the money into other projects around Woolston but he is keeping the details under lock and key for now At this point in time itrsquos early days but Alasdair is confident that his shares will sell pretty easily so he can start making tracks on his next plan

He has big hopes for the city overall not just his little corner of it by the Heathcote river

ldquoIn the 50s and 60s Christchurch was a big capital of the South Island We had head offices bigger government departments and big banks here

ldquoNew Zealand went through an economic reform in the 80s and what happened then was head offices and bigger government departments were taken away from Christchurch and went to Auckland and Wellington so we shrunk and the need for a big city shrunk and we were only left with a few parts of town that really were used properly

ldquoCities like to be compact they like to be dense so they work better when therersquos lots of people and things to do and I think this new plan wersquove got will solve that problemrdquo explains Alasdair

Although the majority of Alasdairrsquos focus remains on the Woolston side of town he does talk a fair bit about the city Itrsquos clear he has big hopes for it Hersquos positive of the outcome and knows Christchurch is headed in the right direction

ldquoThe biggest thing we need in town is patience It might not be for a while but it will develop slowly and it will be a good placerdquo

At the end of our interview Alasdair took me along to the Brewery Bar to proudly show off their wood fire kettle He brought it up a few times during our conversation so hersquos clearly proud of it

And it is impressive It took him and his son-in-law six months to build by hand I guess that took his patience too and it must have been worth the wait I hear a Cassels amp Sons pint is damn good wwwthetanneryconz wwwcasselsbreweryconz

Cassels amp Sonsrsquo new Moravek bottling machine has a maximum production rate of 7000 bottles per hour and is capable of bottling over six million litres per year

Mental health days Why worryThe reality is that we work long and hard to do the job wersquove been assigned to do so achieving that worklife balance concept can seem redundant

Sometimes we simply just need a day off to sort ourselves out mentally in order to prevent burnout remain productive and increase our work performance when we return to the job

We often associate days off work with a physical illness but mental wellbeing is generally overlooked Keeping up with everything in life and work can become too much and our brains turn into mush

While a little worry and concern can focus the mind being overly stressed and unhappy isnrsquot good for your health and it isnrsquot good for those around you either Sometimes we (especially workaholics) find it difficult to give ourselves time off work because

We worry about how it might affect other people in the workplace

bull We think we wonrsquot be able to keep up with the workload when we return

bull We worry wersquore missing out

bull We feel guilty or pressured

bull We need the money

bull Or we think we donrsquot need the time off

But if yoursquore physically and emotionally exhausted suffering from sleepless nights feeling constantly stressed snappy at work and home or generally not caring about your work yoursquore on the road to having a meltdown and potentially committing career suicide

Whatrsquos worse working too hard instead of working smart to the best of your ability yet making mistakes - or taking a day off so you can get back to work re-energised and complete tasks to a high standard

While one day off wonrsquot cast away deep underlying stresses and strains it does allow you to step away from the scene of the crime and grab some much needed headspace

If you donrsquot want to eat into your holiday pay ask your boss to take an unpaid half day or full

History is full of poets philosophers and sages espousing the benefits of a positive disposition But it seems scientists disagreeWhy Because it pays to worry a little bit - quite literally

A study published in the Journal of Behavioural Decision Making in 2012 monitored 213 peoplersquos behaviour in relation to a simulated gambling game The study found participants in a sad or worrisome mood were more likely to make logical bets they knew had a higher likelihood of winning even after a series of losses

Whereas positive happy bettors were quicker and more likely to play what they knew was a riskier move Their jovial outlook influenced them to make unpredictable decisions on gut feelings despite the opportunity to play a logical bet

The study shows you are more likely to make winning decisions while you are in an anxious worried state of mind

But these findings donrsquot just apply to gambling The positive effect of this negative feeling translates into the business world In moderation worry can work wonders for your career

Sometimes a negative attitude is actually beneficial trait to have because it allows you to look at a situation in a more realistic light Feeling worried means you are more likely to make a logical decision with a higher outcome of success compared with your cheerful counterpart in the same situation

There is no danger of over promising and under delivering because you are thinking realistically Worry helps to rein in out of this world ideas it also assists with assessing the risks and obstacles in front of you

Worry can be the side effect of a strong desire to achieve perfection And in the pursuit of perfection worry can prompt you to double check and even triple check your work Without worry there is a risk you can become complacent a little too relaxed and more likely to make a mistake

Under a moderate amount of worry you are capable of learning and remembering new information more effectively This is because the primary stress hormone cortisol improves learning and memory at moderate concentrations compared to low or high concentrations

Worry has also been linked to accelerate career promotions and overall success An international study in Perspectives on Psychological Science in 2007 monitored 118519 peoplersquos careers

The study found those who are less happy attain higher salaries and more education while people who are very happy tend to form more rewarding relationships

People who are more susceptible to worry consequently exhibit the following personality traits

PROSbull More attentive to detailbull More motivated to work bull More polite and attentive to othersbull Vigilant for risks and threats

CONS bull Overcautious bull Less creativebull At risk of becoming too stressedbull More closed minded

In comparison worry-free people exhibit these contrasting behaviours

PROSbull More creativebull Form better relationshipsbull Healthierbull Willing to explore

CONSbull Prone to overlooking threats and dangersbull Open to unwise risks bull More gulliblebull Lacking appropriate embarrassment or guilt

day off And remember you donrsquot have to tell your co-workers that yoursquore taking a mental health day just that you wonrsquot be available

Whether you intend to be busy carrying out chores around the house exercising enjoying some retail therapy or you intend to do the complete opposite and catch up on sleep for the whole day a mental health day is whatever it means to you to be completely free

Just remember to plan ahead by informing your boss and colleagues of your leave in advance so they can work around it This way you wonrsquot need to worry about how your absence may affect others

And make sure when you take your mental health day work stays at work ndash donrsquot bring it home with you Turn your mobile phone off donrsquot check work related emails and certainly donrsquot take home any paperwork Emergencyrsquos only please

At the end of the day your health is important Provide some relief by paying attention to yourself and live a healthier life

The internationally recognised course was developed by leading industry professionals and is aimed at users of elevated work platforms generally in the construction industry and certifies operators in the machines of their choice IPAF training conforms to the international standard ISO 18878 - Mobile Elevating Work Platforms Operator training and ISO 9001 - Quality Management Systems

The Accessman Group general manager Lena Harrington says health and safety is a priority not only within the company but throughout the industry So when Accessman saw the opportunity to provide the renowned IPAF training programme it jumped at the chance

ldquoI think the marketplace needed an alternative qualification IPAFrsquos rigid testing structure ensures that only competent operators are awarded the

qualification which provides employers with peace of mind that their staff have been thoroughly trained ndash they will not pass unless they are competentrdquo

IPAF training was founded in the UK and today has 600 training outlets worldwide which are responsible for qualifying over 100000 people per year IPAF recognised the Accessman Group had the platform required to release the qualification to the New Zealand market in partnership with Total Access in the North Island

To become an accredited training centre a senior IPAF auditor was brought out from the UK to put Accessmanrsquos training staff through the intensive instructorrsquos course

ldquoObviously our staff had to have a significant amount of experience within the industry before they were eligible to become IPAF instructors some of whom are also qualified to train both IPAF and Silvercard NZQA The training venues also had to meet some fairly stringent requirementsrdquo Lena says

The course is comprised of both practical and theory based learning with assessments The classes are kept small to maximise individual learning and the training centres are regularly audited to ensure they meet and adhere to the IPAF standards Training centres also receive regular updates to ensure that attendees are receiving the best training possible Attendees of IPAF training receive a Powered Access Licence (PAL) card The PAL card is valid for five years and is internationally recognised It can also be instantly verified by anyone via an online database which not only includes a photo of the card holder but details of the card

Five reasons to attend an IPAF training programmeThe PAL card is valid for five yearsThe PAL card is internationally recognisedThe card can be instantly verified via an online databaseExpert training by leading industry professionals in small class sizesOn completion participants receive a PAL card log book and an operator handbook

Lena says the PAL card is useful to the large number of contractors from overseas in the city thanks to its international recognition ldquoContractors are coming and going all the time in Christchurch at the moment so it makes sense that they have a qualification that is transferablerdquo In addition all reputable manufacturers of elevated work platforms worldwide are members of IPAF an alignment that strengthens the service the not for profit federation provides

Back in the 1980s I trained for and gained a Private Pilotrsquos Licence (PPL) Although quite a number of years have passed since then I have never forgotten the joy and exhilaration of being in the air watching the world go by below There is an immense feeling of freedom to this recreational activity and every time you fly it is different in some way Other people such as Richie McCaw know the wonder of aviation and it is there for the taking

Take a trial flight at the South Canterbury Aero Club and see if you donrsquot become addicted

The South Canterbury Aero Club offers a superb environment and location for people to learn to fly whatever their reason for doing this may be Perhaps they are looking for a career in aviation or wish only to fly for recreation either way the South Canterbury Aero Club can cater for all needs from new students right through to commercial pilot training and beyond

The club operates from Timarursquos Richard Pearse airport a spectacular setting within easy flying

Proudly Supporting Window Treatments for over 10 Years

As New Zealandrsquos largest independently owned blind shutter awning and insect screen manufacturing and retail company Window Treatments offer products that follow the latest international trends

The company has retail stores and mobile showrooms throughout the country including nine across the South Island

It has an exciting range of new products available for the summer season including exterior awnings that are designed for longevity in harsh coastal environments

Owner Graeme Rose says the Palladio cassetted folding arm awning is a new generation awning ideal for home patios shops and kiosks offering unobstructed passage underneath It is made from aluminium marine-grade stainless steel fittings and fabrics designed for the outdoors

ldquoPalladio is fully cassetted so it protects the fabric when the awning is retractedrdquo he says

ldquoIt can cover everything up to seven metres in width and a projection of up to 36 metres Itrsquos very large and is ideal for creating that indoor-outdoor environment where you want sun or wind protectionrdquo

Other new awnings from Window Treatments include the Italia box radial arm awning which is ideal for both residential and commercial installations and the Terrazza pergola awning

Graeme says another exciting new product is the Securo side roller blind which rolls from side to side rather than up and down like a conventional roller blind

ldquoItrsquos particularly good for ranch sliders where you need some light control and it also doubles as an insect screen The beauty is you can roll it back just enough to get outside while still having your ranch slider open With a conventional roller blind yoursquod have to roll it right up to go through the doorrdquo

Focus | Tekapo Springs

Tekapo Springs is a year-round attraction beloved by visitors from across the globe In early 2015 the resort announced plans to open new multi-million dollar facilities for visitors families and locals to enjoy from late December onwards ndash and itrsquos finally here

New pools take Tekapo Springs to the next level

The new additions include three new pool areas including an aqua playspray area for kids and teens a beach accessed kidsrsquo pool and an adultsrsquo deep water pool

The pools all run at cooler water temperatures of 33 degrees Celsius for the kidsrsquo pool and aqua play area and 28 degrees Celsius for the adultsrsquo pool

Tekapo Springs owner and managing director Karl Burtscher says the aim is to offer a dditional entertaining aquatic options for families children and adults He also says the need to offer a wider temperature range of pool water was important especially during the summer months

Karl explains that the new additions completely open up the resort and create even more

opportunities for guests to gaze upon Lake Tekapo while enjoying the facilities

ldquoYou can now get down to pool level and really appreciate the views from the new adult pool in particular which quite possibly will have the best overall views down Lake Tekapo of any of the pools ndash old and newrdquo

The new pool additions themed lsquoHigh Country Tarnsrsquo each with its own distinctive shade of aqua green ndash were designed to complement the three existing hot pools and are part of Tekapo Springsrsquo long term growth strategy for expanding its aquatic attractions and offering a wider range of water temperatures and features

The new pools will also run through winter depending on outside weather temperatures

Focus | Tekapo Springs

A tight scheduleSince the first sod was turned on September 1 2015 progress was swift and exciting With the new pools taking shape and initial landscaping underway Tekapo Springs staff were thrilled to see dreams become reality

As of November 25 fibre glass spraying and painting of the adultsrsquo pool had been completed with fibre glass spraying commencing on the childrenrsquos cold pool a few days after

Karl says as the pools literally took shape on a daily basis staff could start to get a sense of what they would be delivering to guests

A helping handThe design concept of the pools came from Karl himself and he even completed some of the earth and civil works while co-ordinating the whole project

Although Karl played a major hand in bringing the new additions to life he received a wide slot of help from both local companies and others from around New Zealand

Those involved included H2O Water Systems from Auckland doing the pool plant High Country Carpentry from Fairlie doing all the building and formwork Stephen Styles Block and Brick doing block work Murray Linton Concrete doing concrete laying Reflex Industrial doing fibre glassing and Damon Smith Electrical and Prolec (Professional Electric) from Christchurch doing controls and automation

The perfect spotTekapo Springs is nestled on the shores of stunning Lake Tekapo boasting a unique mix of summer and winter recreation and relaxation

Open 364 days a year the attraction already includes three existing outdoor hot pools a steam and sauna facility an ice rink water slides summer and winter tubing a day spa cafeacute and fully licensed bar

The company has evolved into a year-round ldquomust-dordquo on the bucket list of many visitors to the South Island as well as stamping its mark as an important centrepiece in the Tekapo community

The new pools are a testament to the companyrsquos drive to grow and develop while continuously exceeding customer expectations The three new pools help step-up Tekapo Springsrsquo summer offering and put it among one of the countryrsquos leading tourism operators CT

Finance | Hamilton Hindin Greene

Christchurch businesses are all too familiar with the struggles and obstacles that come with upheaving an office and moving to a new location One local business that understands the struggle all too well is Hamilton Hindin Greene

The investment advisory firm has endured a turbulent and unsettled time since the February 2011 earthquake It has almost consistently been on the move from one premise to the next moving offices five times in the last five years

CEO Ian Perry explains that one day before the earthquake Hamilton Hindin Greene shifted from its office on Hereford Street in the old National Bank building where it had been based for 30 years to the BDO building on Victoria Street When the February quake struck it had just over a day to move everything out of the damaged building but luckily no one was hurt Ian says

In the following chaos it moved to a space above the Dinghyrsquos amp Outboards warehouse on Lincoln Road ldquothen that got knocked downrdquo In 2012 it shifted into a brand new building on Manchester Street called Westende House

ldquoIt was 140 percent up to code and we thought it was going to be our permanent location Then suddenly we got notice when the councilrsquos transport plan was released that the planners had decided they wanted to purchase the building to knock it down and widen the road

ldquoFinally in June 2014 we moved into where we are today at level 1 83 Victoria Street The office is located on the corner of Peterborough Street and hopefully wersquoll never have to move againrdquo

What Hamilton Hindin Greene can do for you Hamilton Hindin Greene is a boutique personalised and specialist investment advisory service It has evolved from solely operating as a share broker when it was established almost a century ago to the diverse investment advisory firm it is today

ldquoWe are no longer the traditional share broker who just deals in New Zealand shares We are investment advisors who use a diversified approach to investing in local and international shares and bonds to provide investment solutions to a range of peoplerdquo

Clients are paired with a personal advisor who takes them through the investment planning process to develop a risk profile for the particular objectives they want to achieve

The advisor then builds a bespoke profile using local Australian and international shares ldquoWe help them to select the right mix of good quality companies so over the long term theyrsquoll make an appropriate return for the risk they want to takerdquo

The advisor oversees the day to day running of clients portfolios and provides advice on potential outcomes of their investments ldquoOur advice is always customised to that particular individuals needsrdquo CT

The SIOC has worked on literally hundreds of organs Some of the projects have been very large and complex such as their current restoration of Wellingtonrsquos fabulous 1906 Town Hall organ In 1997 at St Patrickrsquos Basilica Fremantle they rebuilt the largest church organ in Australia In 2008 they rebuilt the organ in UWArsquos Winthrop Hall and in 2010 the interconnected organs of St Maryrsquos Cathedral both in the city of Perth

Back in New Zealand a very special project completed late last year was the rebuild of the historic organ of Knox Presbyterian Church in Christchurch after both church and organ were badly damaged in the 201011 earthquakes

SIOCrsquos 12 man team reconstructed the original organ added some more pipes and a digital transmission to facilitate the mobilised and

adapted 1914 console in accordance with the Churchrsquos stated mission to provide a flexible concert space in the inner city

This project is a clear example of the way SIOC can incorporate leading-edge technology such as computerised digital playing aids and playback systems into organ restorations and rebuilds without compromising heritage

There is however another aspect to the work of the SIOC which may seem unrelated ndash but actually there is a connection The company can also restore precious antique furniture and create new custom joinery

This side of the operation is led by Zack Bennett a specialist in antique furniture restoration in carving and in sculpture as well as in the design and manufacture of customised joinery Zack is about to direct restoration of the historic 19th century reredos in St Saviourrsquos church in Lyttelton ndash a highly intricate project involving earthquake damaged timber and ceramic tiles So diversification is definitely the name of the game for the SIOC

An ever increasing social conscience about energy use and the effect it has on our environment is causing companies like Solar Bright to look into alternative options Using solar power technology the Christchurch-based team is making leaps and bounds with energy-generating products which are spreading throughout the city and beyond

You may recognise Solar Bright as the company behind the solar-powered table in the city centrersquos ReStart mall which visitors could use to charge their mobile devices that were running low

The table which was on loan to the council has now been relocated to a new home at Burnside High School Being the largest school in the South Island the team at Solar Bright donated the table to the school knowing they would get good use out of it

It seems the team at Solar Bright has not stopped since then They have created and installed five more tables that are dotted around the city have had interest from North Canterbury and Auckland City Council for similar products and have even installed a solar shelter in Linwood for people to charge their devices in

Managing director Nicola Martin explains that the hunger for electricity is growing dramatically and solar energy provides an effective solution

ldquoItrsquos just using what naturersquos already given us Itrsquos a renewable source of energy and means not having to rely solely on electricityrdquo

At the moment Solar Bright is also trialling the charging tables at the McDonaldrsquos restaurants on Moorhouse Ave and in Sydenham The idea is to see how the technology will work indoors and what kind of savings the chains will make on electricity bills as customers are increasingly using power points in store to charge their devices with

Nicola explained that these solar powered charging outlets are a great solution to electricity blackouts If power were ever cut from the city again people would have places like the tables and shelters to use to make sure their mobiles and devices stay on the green light making sure communication methods are protected during emergencies

But charging mobile phones and tablets ar e not the only good ideas Solar Bright has In 2012 Nicolarsquos husband and inventor of their products

Pat Martin realised the need for the detection of frost on roads and came up with PATeye technology

It is again solar powered via the sun and headlights from cars during the night and works the same sort of way that cats eyes currently do on roads around the world

With PATeye the devices installed on roads will flash blue LED lights when the air temperature reaches a certain level to warn people of the potential dangers of slipping

Due to regulations around the world it may take a little while for Solar Bright to weave through the legislation of installing the device on public roads but for now they are rolling out PATeyes on private roads car parks and pathways

Lincoln University Kiwi Rail Dunedin City Council Christchurch Polytechnic and even private NHS roads in the UK are just some of the institutions already using the technology

Solar Bright won two awards at this yearrsquos Champion Canterbury Awards for the Champion Producer Manufacturer as a small enterprise and the CDC Innovation Award for its ldquoinnovative sustainable energy-efficient lighting solutions which enhance safety and lifestyle both domestically and internationallyrdquo CT

Interior design is no longer a stand-alone field it blends seamlessly into so many other areas of life setting the scene for a larger picture incorporating art retail and fine foods

The art of interior designInterior designer and co-owner of Frobisher Interiors Ann-Marie Appleton saw the opportunity to bring together these complementing crafts into one location and create an entirely new interior design experience in Christchurch She and her team at Frobisher Interiors proudly opened the innovative new store on Manchester Street a year ago

The completely modern take on the store is unlike anything around ldquoWe are the only interior design business in the city that encompasses everything that interior design is about in one building Wersquove gone far beyond what is traditionally expected from an interior design shoprdquo

The industry leading store is a complete interior design shopping experience beautifully flowing uninterrupted from a coffee shop meeting space retail store fabric samples area to art gallery

The blended retail space offers everything and anything you might need ldquoThe draw card initially for customers especially for people who donrsquot know us as interior designers is the coffee shop and meeting space From there they can see beyond into the retail space which is adorned with beautiful little gifts and lovely things to buy for the home to larger items such as furniture and our interior design servicerdquo

Frobisher Interiors previously operated from a small villa in Merivale which was too small for

its needs The villa only just housed the team of staff restricted the number of samples on display and failed to properly showcase its work

When it came time to look for bigger premises it was a case of lsquogo big or go homersquo Ann-Marie says they looked at the big picture and made a massive wish list of everything they wanted in the new location then set to work making it a reality

It was also the site of New Zealandrsquos first public railway commissioned in 1863 Goods from Lyttelton were brought around on small boats and loaded onto the train which also carried passengers

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Designed to handle any load

cab chassis ldquoWe used to make the floor of a tipdeck to 6mm but with Hardox we can make them out of 4mm steel which makes a big difference to the weightrdquo

Quick turn around If you need a tipper body fast at a competitive rate Brokenshire Engineering is the team to call It has truck bodies in stock right now that can be custom-painted and fitted to a truck within two weeks But if you canrsquot find the right body in stock Brokenshire can custom-build paint install the pump oil tank and gas controls and fit it to the truck for just $45000 plus GST

Unparalleled products Brokenshirersquos ability to design and built anything for truck and trailers is unparalleled It builds new semi-tipper truck bodies and is the only business in the country that makes smooth surfaced runner-less tipper bodies

ldquoWe are the only people who make runner-less tipper bodies Most tipper bodies have got channels on them we donrsquot use channels This is the latest European designrdquo

It can also convert hydraulic truck breaks to an air break system and has three and five tonne full air axels on air suspension or springs available Henry has been in the transport engineering industry for 50 years and he says this experience in the industry means he can take on the difficult jobs that other people donrsquot want to CT

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

The relationship between technology and business is of course ubiquitous

Hi-tech tools By Christelle Savry

Here at Irontech we recently completed the design and development of a web-based production system for CNC machine control The solution brings state of the art Software as a Service (SaaS) architecture to the heart of day to day manufacturing operations and showcases the technologyrsquos multiple benefits

Our customerrsquos vision was to develop a modern system where production data would flow seamlessly between the various manufacturing entities allowing the companyrsquos workforce to focus on core high value tasks

As is often the case in this conservative sector the ultimate goals were to improve productivity and quality while reducing wastage In this case the business owner also wanted to design a solution that would be generic enough to be licensed to other manufacturers

With this in mind the team at Irontech identified that a custom SaaS solution was most appropriate to meet the various requirements and delivered a web-based portal hosted in the Microsoft Azure cloud The design also allows for intermittent offline scenarios with automatic data resynchronisation

An integral part of the production process the bespoke portal allows end customer project components to be assigned to individual CNC machines located on the various sites around the country Various factors such as delivery location and current machine load are used to determine optimal workload distribution for the best productivity outcome

Using Restful Web API technology the CNC machines connect to the web portal to retrieve and push production data in real time This cutting edge software has successfully turned a labour intensive system into a fully automated highly efficient process contributing to a higher productivity and a reduced rate of human error

The portal allows other companies to register and manage their own production data completely independently Secure communication with third party software applications is performed using a documented platform-independent web API Companies can therefore design their own interface tailored to their environments and equipment A decentralised directory service can also be provided to allow for single log-in

Like cloud computing the line-of-business SaaS model reduces the total cost of ownership of software by way of economy of scale It optimises the usage of the underlying resources ndash think hardware and services ndash to allow small companies to access high tech solutions at a fraction of the cost of a traditional equivalent lsquoon-premisesrsquo software

In essence the SaaS adds value to the day to day operation of customers factories and the licensing revenue helps recoup the development cost of the system It even generates its own income stream making such an investment highly attractive

Working from home is a very attractive option for many people It offers great flexibility and a work-life balance that we all dream of And as more people seek a better balanced lifestyle an increasing number of professionals are turning this dream into a reality

You may be chasing this goal yourself Either by establishing your own start-up company from the comfort of your home or your current employer might have offered you the opportunity to retire from the office cubicle and relocate to home

But before you pack up your desk and sing sayonara to your work colleagues there are a few factors to take into consideration

While yes there are many benefits of working from home there are some pitfalls to be aware of It is a good idea to weigh up both the negatives and the positives before you throw an office leaving party

ADVANTAGES FlexibilityWorking from home opens up a world of possibilities Having the freedom to choose your own work hours is one of the most notable changes but there are many other elements that yoursquoll have control over For example working from home gives you the freedom and flexibility over your work environment which encompasses the temperature lightening sound such as the choice to play music or not and your overall comfort and atmosphere Whatever mood makes you the happiest and most productive you can create

FocusWorking from home cuts out all of the typical workplace distractions and disturbances yoursquoll no longer encounter annoying interruptions unimportant meetings or distractions from co-workers So it is easy to focus in a calm quiet environment

Substantial savingsThere are many hidden costs associated with working in a traditional office environment from the cost of fuel used while driving back and forth to work parking charges the temptation to buy

expensive lunches and pricey work wardrobes if you are required to dress professionally And of course if you have children there is the cost of childcare But by working from home all of these expenses are literally gone and yoursquore bound to notice a welcome saving

Higher work output Removed from the distractions and stresses of the workplace people often feel a lot happier and as a result work more efficiently and at the end of the day are more productive

DISADVANTAGES Loneliness One of the main disadvantages of working from home that isnrsquot often anticipated is the isolation experienced working alone People often miss the hive of social interaction at the workplace For many people it is their primary environment to meet people and make friends And as a consequence professionals working from home often feel disconnected isolated and depressed

ForgottenBy not physically showing your face in the office on a daily bases you can find yourself

being overlooked and forgotten You may be left out of important company decisions and changes or worse in danger of being overlooked for promotion in favour of staff who are more visibly fighting for the position

Interruptions

Although yoursquove eliminated office distractions a whole new raft of distractions arise from working at home - and they can often be worse Home interruptions can include children friends pets neighbours or the temptation to get chores around the house done To avoid these distractions you need to set clear work hours and let your family and friends know you are unavailable during this time

Work doesnrsquot end

If you fail to create a clear separation between your work and home life you can be at risk of working endlessly Because there is no one enforcing a strict nine to five work day people who work from home often find themselves working longer hours This may be triggered by pressures to prove themselves and their abilities in this arrangement

News |emspWorking life

One of the biggest problems with attempting to change an organisationrsquos culture is that culture is not something you can see feel and touch This doesnrsquot mean itrsquos not real Itrsquos very real ndash particularly in the way it influences our daily lives

Culture is all about behavioural norms expectations placed upon us by the system within which we function

At the societal level we constantly behave according to such behavioural norms When we meet people for the first time we shake their hands But why do we do this Itrsquos because itrsquos lsquowhat we dorsquo ndash itrsquos expected of us

Why do we shake hands and not bump feet or rub elbows We have lsquolearnedrsquo to do it As children we see our parents do it and over time it becomes a cultural normrsquo

Similarly in organisations there are certain lsquoways of doing thingsrsquo In some organisations people have learned that they should simply

Swimming against the tide

Balancing acts | The pros and cons of working from homeBy Laura Baker

keep themselves out of trouble In others they have learned to make sure they never make a mistake In some they have learned that honesty can be career limiting and in others they have learned that itrsquos really a competition to be seen and noticed

After 50 years of research into the factors that influence organisational performance there are very few today who would not rank organisational culture as critical to business success

Customers experience an organisationrsquos culture when they communicate or interface with that organisation Staff experience it every day Friends and partners of staff hear about it in the stories that people tell about their work

Organisational culture is the single biggest reason improvement initiatives fail If an organisationrsquos culture has lsquotaughtrsquo people to simply lsquodo their jobrsquo or always unquestioningly obey the rules there is simply no way that any improvement (or culture change) programme is going to work without addressing that existing culture

Take someone who works in a job that has minimal autonomy and thus little opportunity to think within a culture that does not

welcome honest upward feedback and then ask people to lsquouse their initiativersquo or lsquobe creativersquo or lsquobe accountablersquo and yoursquore really wasting your time (and money)

An organisationrsquos culture either works for it or against it particularly in times of change and adaptation

Being able to clearly identify what aspects of the culture help and what aspects hinder is vital in being able to address culture change initiatives that actually work

Thirty years of research into organisational culture has led Human Synergistics to identify the cultural norms that help promote effective performance and those which inhibit it

The 12 norms are clustered into three groups While there is much more behind each norm than those descriptions listed below these are suitable lsquoone linersrsquo for each

Norms that represent AggressiveDefensive behaviours

bull Find fault in others

bull Be lsquotoughrsquo and powerfulrsquo

bull Compete rather than cooperate

bull Never ever make a mistake

MAKING IT HIS WAYBy Terri Cluckie

Alasdair Cassels is an icon in Christchurch or he is around Woolston anyway His distinct looks play a part in that status tall frame dark glasses long white hair and moustache - itrsquos quite a striking presence but a humble and friendly one nonetheless

wwwcanterburytodayconz emsp January 2016 | 15

News |emspCover story

The man himself is probably just as iconic as his business ventures during the past few years specifically his boutique shopping arcade The Tannery and the Cassels amp Sons Brewery which he co-owns with his son Zak and son-in-law Joe Shanks

The Cassels family has contributed a lot to the economy of the city with various businesses sprawled throughout Alasdair co-owns the CBD Bar on Madras St as well as the brewery and shopping centre and has recently been working on a project to clean up the Heathcote River

The river itself is something Alasdair seems to dote on Itrsquos partly why he bought the site that The Tannery sits on way back in 1994

ldquoIt told a story straight away of Christchurch in its early days because Christchurch was really settled on the banks of the Heathcoterdquo Alasdair explains

Read anything about Alasdair in the paper or online and yoursquoll probably hear about the Heathcote and Christchurchrsquos early days He canrsquot help but let his passion for the city show Itrsquos understandable though ndash he seems to have known nothing but success in Christchurch

I first met Alasdair on a drizzly spring morning I had met him in the atrium of The Tannery to talk about the site and the shape of the city in general (who else to talk to about the city but a lover of it) but our conversation drifted more towards another of his passions craft beer

He has been making his own beer at home for years and even taught his children how to do it so of course he has set up his own brewery

The Cassels amp Sons Brewery was officially established in 2009 and started out exactly where it sits now in The Brewery bar of The Tannery It got off to a shaky start with the earthquakes following two years after it opened but that didnrsquot knock their confidence

for long In fact the craft beer industry in New Zealand as a whole is booming right now

According to the ANZ New Zealand Craft Beer Industry Insights 2015 report craft beer sales have increased 42 percent in the last year alone Beer exports to Asia have also doubled in the last two years with the Asian market potential being 750 times the size of New Zealand so it would seem now is the time to export

When we spoke Cassels amp Sons didnrsquot yet have the capacity to export due to hand bottling each beer and predominantly using kegs for draft beer or bottles sold at local markets to sell their product But things are very quickly about to change

The Brewery is situated at the entrance of The Tannery and houses their public bar kitchen and hand-built wood fire kettle which they used to brew their first batch of pilsner (itrsquos one of only two in the world according to Alasdair)

If you take a stroll to the bottom end of The Tannery car park you will come across a second building ndash one of Cassels amp Sonsrsquo bigger breweries - itrsquos here that big changes are about to be made

The brewery has just acquired a bottling plant they imported from Czech Republic It is the biggest bottling machine in the craft beer industry in New Zealand and should be up and running in February

The potential this $1m machine carries for Cassels amp Sons is huge The machine a Moravek 21244 Tribloc has a maximum production rate of 7000 bottles per hour and is capable of bottling over six million litres per year which more than out does the current hand-bottling methods of the brewery

ldquoBeer is easier to make and serve in a bar Once you start bottling it itrsquos got to be really technically made otherwise on the way to

market the flavour goes the bubbles go The more sophisticated the machine is the better chance yoursquove got of getting it to market so exporting and everything else becomes an optionrdquo explains Alasdair

He has hopes of bottling other breweriesrsquo beers too ndash another way of giving back to the community

When I met Alasdair in The Tannery he was sat with two other gentlemen clearly well at home in the Victorian-arcade inspired centre surrounded by his friends

We eventually shifted into the corner of a coffee shop to chat Something I didnrsquot realise at the time but quickly caught on to was just how popular Alasdair is Even later when we were taking pictures in the atrium people continuously made jokes with him tried to have a chat and just generally looked his way

Whether thatrsquos because he literally owns the place or because people have so much respect for him Irsquom not sure but even just spending an hour with him I can understand the pull he has

The Tannery is buzzing with business and visitors Itrsquos a really positive place to be

The centre didnrsquot really come to life until after the earthquakes because as Alasdair tells me for one reason or another before then he had struggled to get planning permission from the city council to do anything with the site It wasnrsquot until after the earthquakes that The Tannery began to transform into what it is today

ldquoIt was an absolute tragedy and all of us were shockedrdquo says Alasdair ldquoBut amongst all that was a sense of excitement There really was a sense of being able to do somethingrdquo

He explains that when the city centre was shut down in the aftermath a lot of boutique family-run businesses needed a new place to settle and The Tannery offered them the perfect spot ldquoIt was safety in numbers so dozens of them came hererdquo

The building itself had to be re-built but it meant that Alasdair was able to turn his dreams for the Woolston community into a reality

ldquoI wanted something that was peaceful and uplifting when you walked into it I wanted to make people feel better about things and also give them a chance to escape from the city or from at that stage the beaten up city

ldquoI wanted to create a fantasy and fairytale place which wasnrsquot as hard as it seemsrdquo

Although it took a few years to really get the centre and the businesses it housed off the ground the $20m project now has 65

happy tenants meaning all leases are under occupation A few more expansions are even in the works with Alice in Videoland building a two-screen cinema at the south end of the atrium with the Metropolitan Lounge going above it (a conference centre art gallery)

The news came late last year that Alasdair was planning on selling 45 percent of his shares for The Tannery in an aim to earn back some of the well-spent money he has dedicated to it

He is planning on channelling the money into other projects around Woolston but he is keeping the details under lock and key for now At this point in time itrsquos early days but Alasdair is confident that his shares will sell pretty easily so he can start making tracks on his next plan

He has big hopes for the city overall not just his little corner of it by the Heathcote river

ldquoIn the 50s and 60s Christchurch was a big capital of the South Island We had head offices bigger government departments and big banks here

ldquoNew Zealand went through an economic reform in the 80s and what happened then was head offices and bigger government departments were taken away from Christchurch and went to Auckland and Wellington so we shrunk and the need for a big city shrunk and we were only left with a few parts of town that really were used properly

ldquoCities like to be compact they like to be dense so they work better when therersquos lots of people and things to do and I think this new plan wersquove got will solve that problemrdquo explains Alasdair

Although the majority of Alasdairrsquos focus remains on the Woolston side of town he does talk a fair bit about the city Itrsquos clear he has big hopes for it Hersquos positive of the outcome and knows Christchurch is headed in the right direction

ldquoThe biggest thing we need in town is patience It might not be for a while but it will develop slowly and it will be a good placerdquo

At the end of our interview Alasdair took me along to the Brewery Bar to proudly show off their wood fire kettle He brought it up a few times during our conversation so hersquos clearly proud of it

And it is impressive It took him and his son-in-law six months to build by hand I guess that took his patience too and it must have been worth the wait I hear a Cassels amp Sons pint is damn good wwwthetanneryconz wwwcasselsbreweryconz

Cassels amp Sonsrsquo new Moravek bottling machine has a maximum production rate of 7000 bottles per hour and is capable of bottling over six million litres per year

Mental health days Why worryThe reality is that we work long and hard to do the job wersquove been assigned to do so achieving that worklife balance concept can seem redundant

Sometimes we simply just need a day off to sort ourselves out mentally in order to prevent burnout remain productive and increase our work performance when we return to the job

We often associate days off work with a physical illness but mental wellbeing is generally overlooked Keeping up with everything in life and work can become too much and our brains turn into mush

While a little worry and concern can focus the mind being overly stressed and unhappy isnrsquot good for your health and it isnrsquot good for those around you either Sometimes we (especially workaholics) find it difficult to give ourselves time off work because

We worry about how it might affect other people in the workplace

bull We think we wonrsquot be able to keep up with the workload when we return

bull We worry wersquore missing out

bull We feel guilty or pressured

bull We need the money

bull Or we think we donrsquot need the time off

But if yoursquore physically and emotionally exhausted suffering from sleepless nights feeling constantly stressed snappy at work and home or generally not caring about your work yoursquore on the road to having a meltdown and potentially committing career suicide

Whatrsquos worse working too hard instead of working smart to the best of your ability yet making mistakes - or taking a day off so you can get back to work re-energised and complete tasks to a high standard

While one day off wonrsquot cast away deep underlying stresses and strains it does allow you to step away from the scene of the crime and grab some much needed headspace

If you donrsquot want to eat into your holiday pay ask your boss to take an unpaid half day or full

History is full of poets philosophers and sages espousing the benefits of a positive disposition But it seems scientists disagreeWhy Because it pays to worry a little bit - quite literally

A study published in the Journal of Behavioural Decision Making in 2012 monitored 213 peoplersquos behaviour in relation to a simulated gambling game The study found participants in a sad or worrisome mood were more likely to make logical bets they knew had a higher likelihood of winning even after a series of losses

Whereas positive happy bettors were quicker and more likely to play what they knew was a riskier move Their jovial outlook influenced them to make unpredictable decisions on gut feelings despite the opportunity to play a logical bet

The study shows you are more likely to make winning decisions while you are in an anxious worried state of mind

But these findings donrsquot just apply to gambling The positive effect of this negative feeling translates into the business world In moderation worry can work wonders for your career

Sometimes a negative attitude is actually beneficial trait to have because it allows you to look at a situation in a more realistic light Feeling worried means you are more likely to make a logical decision with a higher outcome of success compared with your cheerful counterpart in the same situation

There is no danger of over promising and under delivering because you are thinking realistically Worry helps to rein in out of this world ideas it also assists with assessing the risks and obstacles in front of you

Worry can be the side effect of a strong desire to achieve perfection And in the pursuit of perfection worry can prompt you to double check and even triple check your work Without worry there is a risk you can become complacent a little too relaxed and more likely to make a mistake

Under a moderate amount of worry you are capable of learning and remembering new information more effectively This is because the primary stress hormone cortisol improves learning and memory at moderate concentrations compared to low or high concentrations

Worry has also been linked to accelerate career promotions and overall success An international study in Perspectives on Psychological Science in 2007 monitored 118519 peoplersquos careers

The study found those who are less happy attain higher salaries and more education while people who are very happy tend to form more rewarding relationships

People who are more susceptible to worry consequently exhibit the following personality traits

PROSbull More attentive to detailbull More motivated to work bull More polite and attentive to othersbull Vigilant for risks and threats

CONS bull Overcautious bull Less creativebull At risk of becoming too stressedbull More closed minded

In comparison worry-free people exhibit these contrasting behaviours

PROSbull More creativebull Form better relationshipsbull Healthierbull Willing to explore

CONSbull Prone to overlooking threats and dangersbull Open to unwise risks bull More gulliblebull Lacking appropriate embarrassment or guilt

day off And remember you donrsquot have to tell your co-workers that yoursquore taking a mental health day just that you wonrsquot be available

Whether you intend to be busy carrying out chores around the house exercising enjoying some retail therapy or you intend to do the complete opposite and catch up on sleep for the whole day a mental health day is whatever it means to you to be completely free

Just remember to plan ahead by informing your boss and colleagues of your leave in advance so they can work around it This way you wonrsquot need to worry about how your absence may affect others

And make sure when you take your mental health day work stays at work ndash donrsquot bring it home with you Turn your mobile phone off donrsquot check work related emails and certainly donrsquot take home any paperwork Emergencyrsquos only please

At the end of the day your health is important Provide some relief by paying attention to yourself and live a healthier life

Just remember to plan

ahead by informing your

Health and safety is paramount for operators involved in the use of elevated work platforms

So when it comes time to validating your competency you want to choose the best training course available

Accessman is New Zealandrsquos leading specialised hire company providing scissor lifts cherry pickers knucklebooms and mobile scaffolding Itrsquos now leading the field as an accredited IPAF training provider to complement the existing Silvercard NZQA training it currently offers

The company launched the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) accredited training programme throughout the South Island in November as one of two companies nationwide to do so

The internationally recognised course was developed by leading industry professionals and is aimed at users of elevated work platforms generally in the construction industry and certifies operators in the machines of their choice IPAF training conforms to the international standard ISO 18878 - Mobile Elevating Work Platforms Operator training and ISO 9001 - Quality Management Systems

The Accessman Group general manager Lena Harrington says health and safety is a priority not only within the company but throughout the industry So when Accessman saw the opportunity to provide the renowned IPAF training programme it jumped at the chance

ldquoI think the marketplace needed an alternative qualification IPAFrsquos rigid testing structure ensures that only competent operators are awarded the

qualification which provides employers with peace of mind that their staff have been thoroughly trained ndash they will not pass unless they are competentrdquo

IPAF training was founded in the UK and today has 600 training outlets worldwide which are responsible for qualifying over 100000 people per year IPAF recognised the Accessman Group had the platform required to release the qualification to the New Zealand market in partnership with Total Access in the North Island

To become an accredited training centre a senior IPAF auditor was brought out from the UK to put Accessmanrsquos training staff through the intensive instructorrsquos course

ldquoObviously our staff had to have a significant amount of experience within the industry before they were eligible to become IPAF instructors some of whom are also qualified to train both IPAF and Silvercard NZQA The training venues also had to meet some fairly stringent requirementsrdquo Lena says

The course is comprised of both practical and theory based learning with assessments The classes are kept small to maximise individual learning and the training centres are regularly audited to ensure they meet and adhere to the IPAF standards Training centres also receive regular updates to ensure that attendees are receiving the best training possible Attendees of IPAF training receive a Powered Access Licence (PAL) card The PAL card is valid for five years and is internationally recognised It can also be instantly verified by anyone via an online database which not only includes a photo of the card holder but details of the card

Five reasons to attend an IPAF training programmeThe PAL card is valid for five yearsThe PAL card is internationally recognisedThe card can be instantly verified via an online databaseExpert training by leading industry professionals in small class sizesOn completion participants receive a PAL card log book and an operator handbook

Lena says the PAL card is useful to the large number of contractors from overseas in the city thanks to its international recognition ldquoContractors are coming and going all the time in Christchurch at the moment so it makes sense that they have a qualification that is transferablerdquo In addition all reputable manufacturers of elevated work platforms worldwide are members of IPAF an alignment that strengthens the service the not for profit federation provides

The South Canterbury Aero Club offers a superb environment and location for people to learn to fly whatever their reason for doing this may be Perhaps they are looking for a career in aviation or wish only to fly for recreation either way the South Canterbury Aero Club can cater for all needs from new students right through to commercial pilot training and beyond

The club operates from Timarursquos Richard Pearse airport a spectacular setting within easy flying

distance of AorakiMt Cook the Mackenzie Basin the West Coast and the quilted paddocks of the Canterbury plains

The club has a rich history in New Zealandrsquos aviation training and participation Flight training first began in South Canterbury in 1930 at Washdyke and then moved to the Saltwater Creek in 1932 In November 1946 the South Canterbury Aero Club was incorporated and moved to its present site at the Timaru Airport in 1953 For more details of the history of aviation in South Canterbury have a look at the book Wings over South Canterbury by D E Drake

Today the club is staffed by highly professional qualified people who all spend many hours each year upskilling themselves through further training Your safety is ensured every time you lift off with the experience and knowledge found in their cockpits

The club has three aircraft in its fleet Its two Piper Tomahawks are primarily used for flight training while the Piper Archer a four seater cross country aircraft is used for the clubrsquos commercial sightseeing operations

And thatrsquos another aspect of the South Canterbury Aero Clubrsquos operation for those who do not want to learn to fly themselves There are a number of pre-planned scenic flights to choose from or customers can design their own

You could fly to AorakiMt Cook to Glentanner or to Omarama to the Arundel ponds to Lake Tekapo or the Ashburton Lakes The skyrsquos the limit - so to speak Not only does the club offer scenic flights but they also do charter work and aerial photography

The South Canterbury Aero Clubrsquos operation is routinely audited to ensure the most efficient and

safe service is provided to customers and all activities are carried out under the Civil Aviation Authorityrsquos Certification

Proudly Supporting Window Treatments for over 10 Years

As New Zealandrsquos largest independently owned blind shutter awning and insect screen manufacturing and retail company Window Treatments offer products that follow the latest international trends

The company has retail stores and mobile showrooms throughout the country including nine across the South Island

It has an exciting range of new products available for the summer season including exterior awnings that are designed for longevity in harsh coastal environments

Owner Graeme Rose says the Palladio cassetted folding arm awning is a new generation awning ideal for home patios shops and kiosks offering unobstructed passage underneath It is made from aluminium marine-grade stainless steel fittings and fabrics designed for the outdoors

ldquoPalladio is fully cassetted so it protects the fabric when the awning is retractedrdquo he says

ldquoIt can cover everything up to seven metres in width and a projection of up to 36 metres Itrsquos very large and is ideal for creating that indoor-outdoor environment where you want sun or wind protectionrdquo

Other new awnings from Window Treatments include the Italia box radial arm awning which is ideal for both residential and commercial installations and the Terrazza pergola awning

Graeme says another exciting new product is the Securo side roller blind which rolls from side to side rather than up and down like a conventional roller blind

ldquoItrsquos particularly good for ranch sliders where you need some light control and it also doubles as an insect screen The beauty is you can roll it back just enough to get outside while still having your ranch slider open With a conventional roller blind yoursquod have to roll it right up to go through the doorrdquo

Interior shutters have become a popular choice for their functionality and good looks

Focus | Tekapo Springs

Tekapo Springs is a year-round attraction beloved by visitors from across the globe In early 2015 the resort announced plans to open new multi-million dollar facilities for visitors families and locals to enjoy from late December onwards ndash and itrsquos finally here

New pools take Tekapo Springs to the next level

The new additions include three new pool areas including an aqua playspray area for kids and teens a beach accessed kidsrsquo pool and an adultsrsquo deep water pool

The pools all run at cooler water temperatures of 33 degrees Celsius for the kidsrsquo pool and aqua play area and 28 degrees Celsius for the adultsrsquo pool

Tekapo Springs owner and managing director Karl Burtscher says the aim is to offer a dditional entertaining aquatic options for families children and adults He also says the need to offer a wider temperature range of pool water was important especially during the summer months

Karl explains that the new additions completely open up the resort and create even more

opportunities for guests to gaze upon Lake Tekapo while enjoying the facilities

ldquoYou can now get down to pool level and really appreciate the views from the new adult pool in particular which quite possibly will have the best overall views down Lake Tekapo of any of the pools ndash old and newrdquo

The new pool additions themed lsquoHigh Country Tarnsrsquo each with its own distinctive shade of aqua green ndash were designed to complement the three existing hot pools and are part of Tekapo Springsrsquo long term growth strategy for expanding its aquatic attractions and offering a wider range of water temperatures and features

The new pools will also run through winter depending on outside weather temperatures

Focus | Tekapo Springs

A tight scheduleSince the first sod was turned on September 1 2015 progress was swift and exciting With the new pools taking shape and initial landscaping underway Tekapo Springs staff were thrilled to see dreams become reality

As of November 25 fibre glass spraying and painting of the adultsrsquo pool had been completed with fibre glass spraying commencing on the childrenrsquos cold pool a few days after

Karl says as the pools literally took shape on a daily basis staff could start to get a sense of what they would be delivering to guests

A helping handThe design concept of the pools came from Karl himself and he even completed some of the earth and civil works while co-ordinating the whole project

Although Karl played a major hand in bringing the new additions to life he received a wide slot of help from both local companies and others from around New Zealand

Those involved included H2O Water Systems from Auckland doing the pool plant High Country Carpentry from Fairlie doing all the building and formwork Stephen Styles Block and Brick doing block work Murray Linton Concrete doing concrete laying Reflex Industrial doing fibre glassing and Damon Smith Electrical and Prolec (Professional Electric) from Christchurch doing controls and automation

The perfect spotTekapo Springs is nestled on the shores of stunning Lake Tekapo boasting a unique mix of summer and winter recreation and relaxation

Open 364 days a year the attraction already includes three existing outdoor hot pools a steam and sauna facility an ice rink water slides summer and winter tubing a day spa cafeacute and fully licensed bar

The company has evolved into a year-round ldquomust-dordquo on the bucket list of many visitors to the South Island as well as stamping its mark as an important centrepiece in the Tekapo community

The new pools are a testament to the companyrsquos drive to grow and develop while continuously exceeding customer expectations The three new pools help step-up Tekapo Springsrsquo summer offering and put it among one of the countryrsquos leading tourism operators CT

Finance | Hamilton Hindin Greene

Christchurch businesses are all too familiar with the struggles and obstacles that come with upheaving an office and moving to a new location One local business that understands the struggle all too well is Hamilton Hindin Greene

The investment advisory firm has endured a turbulent and unsettled time since the February 2011 earthquake It has almost consistently been on the move from one premise to the next moving offices five times in the last five years

CEO Ian Perry explains that one day before the earthquake Hamilton Hindin Greene shifted from its office on Hereford Street in the old National Bank building where it had been based for 30 years to the BDO building on Victoria Street When the February quake struck it had just over a day to move everything out of the damaged building but luckily no one was hurt Ian says

In the following chaos it moved to a space above the Dinghyrsquos amp Outboards warehouse on Lincoln Road ldquothen that got knocked downrdquo In 2012 it shifted into a brand new building on Manchester Street called Westende House

ldquoIt was 140 percent up to code and we thought it was going to be our permanent location Then suddenly we got notice when the councilrsquos transport plan was released that the planners had decided they wanted to purchase the building to knock it down and widen the road

ldquoFinally in June 2014 we moved into where we are today at level 1 83 Victoria Street The office is located on the corner of Peterborough Street and hopefully wersquoll never have to move againrdquo

What Hamilton Hindin Greene can do for you Hamilton Hindin Greene is a boutique personalised and specialist investment advisory service It has evolved from solely operating as a share broker when it was established almost a century ago to the diverse investment advisory firm it is today

ldquoWe are no longer the traditional share broker who just deals in New Zealand shares We are investment advisors who use a diversified approach to investing in local and international shares and bonds to provide investment solutions to a range of peoplerdquo

Clients are paired with a personal advisor who takes them through the investment planning process to develop a risk profile for the particular objectives they want to achieve

The advisor then builds a bespoke profile using local Australian and international shares ldquoWe help them to select the right mix of good quality companies so over the long term theyrsquoll make an appropriate return for the risk they want to takerdquo

The advisor oversees the day to day running of clients portfolios and provides advice on potential outcomes of their investments ldquoOur advice is always customised to that particular individuals needsrdquo CT

The organ is the grandest of instruments Itrsquos been referred to as the closest to heaven instrument on earth with a sound thatrsquos powerful rich and deeply moving

Restoring heritage pieces to their former glory

Keeping such instruments in pristine working order is a highly specialised craft One company that has these skills in such a niche field is the South Island Organ Company (SIOC) based in Timaru

Established in 1968 SIOC has been in continuous operation now for nearly 50 years The company offers tuning and maintenance of organs historic restorations and artistic rebuilds as well as new organ builds throughout New Zealand and overseas They are widely recognised as one of the leading firms specialising in pipe organ restoration and rebuilding

The SIOC has worked on literally hundreds of organs Some of the projects have been very large and complex such as their current restoration of Wellingtonrsquos fabulous 1906 Town Hall organ In 1997 at St Patrickrsquos Basilica Fremantle they rebuilt the largest church organ in Australia In 2008 they rebuilt the organ in UWArsquos Winthrop Hall and in 2010 the interconnected organs of St Maryrsquos Cathedral both in the city of Perth

Back in New Zealand a very special project completed late last year was the rebuild of the historic organ of Knox Presbyterian Church in Christchurch after both church and organ were badly damaged in the 201011 earthquakes

SIOCrsquos 12 man team reconstructed the original organ added some more pipes and a digital transmission to facilitate the mobilised and

ldquoEverything we do is quality old-fashioned craftsmanship made to last or to be restored We are not in the throw away utility market but in the heritage market creating one-off pieces that are going to become art works of the futurerdquo CT

adapted 1914 console in accordance with the Churchrsquos stated mission to provide a flexible concert space in the inner city

This project is a clear example of the way SIOC can incorporate leading-edge technology such as computerised digital playing aids and playback systems into organ restorations and rebuilds without compromising heritage

There is however another aspect to the work of the SIOC which may seem unrelated ndash but actually there is a connection The company can also restore precious antique furniture and create new custom joinery

This side of the operation is led by Zack Bennett a specialist in antique furniture restoration in carving and in sculpture as well as in the design and manufacture of customised joinery Zack is about to direct restoration of the historic 19th century reredos in St Saviourrsquos church in Lyttelton ndash a highly intricate project involving earthquake damaged timber and ceramic tiles So diversification is definitely the name of the game for the SIOC

An ever increasing social conscience about energy use and the effect it has on our environment is causing companies like Solar Bright to look into alternative options Using solar power technology the Christchurch-based team is making leaps and bounds with energy-generating products which are spreading throughout the city and beyond

You may recognise Solar Bright as the company behind the solar-powered table in the city centrersquos ReStart mall which visitors could use to charge their mobile devices that were running low

The table which was on loan to the council has now been relocated to a new home at Burnside High School Being the largest school in the South Island the team at Solar Bright donated the table to the school knowing they would get good use out of it

It seems the team at Solar Bright has not stopped since then They have created and installed five more tables that are dotted around the city have had interest from North Canterbury and Auckland City Council for similar products and have even installed a solar shelter in Linwood for people to charge their devices in

Managing director Nicola Martin explains that the hunger for electricity is growing dramatically and solar energy provides an effective solution

ldquoItrsquos just using what naturersquos already given us Itrsquos a renewable source of energy and means not having to rely solely on electricityrdquo

At the moment Solar Bright is also trialling the charging tables at the McDonaldrsquos restaurants on Moorhouse Ave and in Sydenham The idea is to see how the technology will work indoors and what kind of savings the chains will make on electricity bills as customers are increasingly using power points in store to charge their devices with

Nicola explained that these solar powered charging outlets are a great solution to electricity blackouts If power were ever cut from the city again people would have places like the tables and shelters to use to make sure their mobiles and devices stay on the green light making sure communication methods are protected during emergencies

But charging mobile phones and tablets ar e not the only good ideas Solar Bright has In 2012 Nicolarsquos husband and inventor of their products

Pat Martin realised the need for the detection of frost on roads and came up with PATeye technology

It is again solar powered via the sun and headlights from cars during the night and works the same sort of way that cats eyes currently do on roads around the world

With PATeye the devices installed on roads will flash blue LED lights when the air temperature reaches a certain level to warn people of the potential dangers of slipping

Due to regulations around the world it may take a little while for Solar Bright to weave through the legislation of installing the device on public roads but for now they are rolling out PATeyes on private roads car parks and pathways

Lincoln University Kiwi Rail Dunedin City Council Christchurch Polytechnic and even private NHS roads in the UK are just some of the institutions already using the technology

Solar Bright won two awards at this yearrsquos Champion Canterbury Awards for the Champion Producer Manufacturer as a small enterprise and the CDC Innovation Award for its ldquoinnovative sustainable energy-efficient lighting solutions which enhance safety and lifestyle both domestically and internationallyrdquo CT

Interior design is no longer a stand-alone field it blends seamlessly into so many other areas of life setting the scene for a larger picture incorporating art retail and fine foods

The art of interior designInterior designer and co-owner of Frobisher Interiors Ann-Marie Appleton saw the opportunity to bring together these complementing crafts into one location and create an entirely new interior design experience in Christchurch She and her team at Frobisher Interiors proudly opened the innovative new store on Manchester Street a year ago

The completely modern take on the store is unlike anything around ldquoWe are the only interior design business in the city that encompasses everything that interior design is about in one building Wersquove gone far beyond what is traditionally expected from an interior design shoprdquo

The industry leading store is a complete interior design shopping experience beautifully flowing uninterrupted from a coffee shop meeting space retail store fabric samples area to art gallery

The blended retail space offers everything and anything you might need ldquoThe draw card initially for customers especially for people who donrsquot know us as interior designers is the coffee shop and meeting space From there they can see beyond into the retail space which is adorned with beautiful little gifts and lovely things to buy for the home to larger items such as furniture and our interior design servicerdquo

Frobisher Interiors previously operated from a small villa in Merivale which was too small for

its needs The villa only just housed the team of staff restricted the number of samples on display and failed to properly showcase its work

When it came time to look for bigger premises it was a case of lsquogo big or go homersquo Ann-Marie says they looked at the big picture and made a massive wish list of everything they wanted in the new location then set to work making it a reality

ldquoItrsquos been difficult since the earthquakes particularly since wersquore in the eastern part of Christchurchrdquo Kim says ldquoThere are still more earthquake repairs to be donerdquo

Extensive roadworks on the Ferrymead Bridge are also completed meaning access to the park has never been easier

Summer events for the familyThe reopening of these buildings means Ferrymead Heritage Park now has a lot to offer families this summer The park is open daily from 10am to 4pm with its beautiful historic steam train running on the first Sunday of each month

ldquoWe had a fantastic labour weekend here as Ferrymead celebrated its 50th birthday We looked at how the park has evolved and grownhellip we got 4000 people through over two days Wersquore seasonal so wersquore looking forward to a good summerrdquo

Ferrymead Heritage Park will host the Nostalgia Music Festival on February 20th The festival will feature a range of musicians and bands including the Phoenix Foundation and is a popular event in the city

The park is also planning a Grandparentsrsquo Weekend at the end of January where children get in for free when accompanied by their grandparents

ldquoWersquove had Grandparents Weekend before and itrsquos been very successful By the last weekend of the school holidays parents are often back at work and the grandparents can bring the kids along and spend the dayrdquo

The park trust and staff are looking forward to a great summer season

ldquoA lot of people know about Ferrymead but itrsquos off their radar We want to put it back on the radar if yoursquove got friends staying or kids who are bored then come out for the dayrdquo

A slice of Christchurch historyFerrymead Heritage Park gives a unique insight into early Christchurch life which school children throughout the region also enjoy

The park was formed in the 1960s by a group of local heritage enthusiasts dedicated to preserving the past for future generations to enjoy It is located in an area of rich historical significance to Christchurch and was used extensively by colonists who walked over the Bridle Path from Lyttelton and down Ferry Road to their new life in Christchurch

It was also the site of New Zealandrsquos first public railway commissioned in 1863 Goods from Lyttelton were brought around on small boats and loaded onto the train which also carried passengers

Ferrymead features an early 1900s Edwardian township with exhibits such as houses picture theatre school classroom church jail railway station lodge hall post office

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Designed to handle any load

cab chassis ldquoWe used to make the floor of a tipdeck to 6mm but with Hardox we can make them out of 4mm steel which makes a big difference to the weightrdquo

Quick turn around If you need a tipper body fast at a competitive rate Brokenshire Engineering is the team to call It has truck bodies in stock right now that can be custom-painted and fitted to a truck within two weeks But if you canrsquot find the right body in stock Brokenshire can custom-build paint install the pump oil tank and gas controls and fit it to the truck for just $45000 plus GST

Unparalleled products Brokenshirersquos ability to design and built anything for truck and trailers is unparalleled It builds new semi-tipper truck bodies and is the only business in the country that makes smooth surfaced runner-less tipper bodies

ldquoWe are the only people who make runner-less tipper bodies Most tipper bodies have got channels on them we donrsquot use channels This is the latest European designrdquo

It can also convert hydraulic truck breaks to an air break system and has three and five tonne full air axels on air suspension or springs available Henry has been in the transport engineering industry for 50 years and he says this experience in the industry means he can take on the difficult jobs that other people donrsquot want to CT

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

Working from home is a very attractive option for many people It offers great flexibility and a work-life balance that we all dream of And as more people seek a better balanced lifestyle an increasing number of professionals are turning this dream into a reality

You may be chasing this goal yourself Either by establishing your own start-up company from the comfort of your home or your current employer might have offered you the opportunity to retire from the office cubicle and relocate to home

But before you pack up your desk and sing sayonara to your work colleagues there are a few factors to take into consideration

While yes there are many benefits of working from home there are some pitfalls to be aware of It is a good idea to weigh up both the negatives and the positives before you throw an office leaving party

ADVANTAGES FlexibilityWorking from home opens up a world of possibilities Having the freedom to choose your own work hours is one of the most notable changes but there are many other elements that yoursquoll have control over For example working from home gives you the freedom and flexibility over your work environment which encompasses the temperature lightening sound such as the choice to play music or not and your overall comfort and atmosphere Whatever mood makes you the happiest and most productive you can create

FocusWorking from home cuts out all of the typical workplace distractions and disturbances yoursquoll no longer encounter annoying interruptions unimportant meetings or distractions from co-workers So it is easy to focus in a calm quiet environment

Substantial savingsThere are many hidden costs associated with working in a traditional office environment from the cost of fuel used while driving back and forth to work parking charges the temptation to buy

expensive lunches and pricey work wardrobes if you are required to dress professionally And of course if you have children there is the cost of childcare But by working from home all of these expenses are literally gone and yoursquore bound to notice a welcome saving

Higher work output Removed from the distractions and stresses of the workplace people often feel a lot happier and as a result work more efficiently and at the end of the day are more productive

DISADVANTAGES Loneliness One of the main disadvantages of working from home that isnrsquot often anticipated is the isolation experienced working alone People often miss the hive of social interaction at the workplace For many people it is their primary environment to meet people and make friends And as a consequence professionals working from home often feel disconnected isolated and depressed

ForgottenBy not physically showing your face in the office on a daily bases you can find yourself

being overlooked and forgotten You may be left out of important company decisions and changes or worse in danger of being overlooked for promotion in favour of staff who are more visibly fighting for the position

Interruptions

Although yoursquove eliminated office distractions a whole new raft of distractions arise from working at home - and they can often be worse Home interruptions can include children friends pets neighbours or the temptation to get chores around the house done To avoid these distractions you need to set clear work hours and let your family and friends know you are unavailable during this time

Work doesnrsquot end

If you fail to create a clear separation between your work and home life you can be at risk of working endlessly Because there is no one enforcing a strict nine to five work day people who work from home often find themselves working longer hours This may be triggered by pressures to prove themselves and their abilities in this arrangement

News |emspWorking life

One of the biggest problems with attempting to change an organisationrsquos culture is that culture is not something you can see feel and touch This doesnrsquot mean itrsquos not real Itrsquos very real ndash particularly in the way it influences our daily lives

Culture is all about behavioural norms expectations placed upon us by the system within which we function

At the societal level we constantly behave according to such behavioural norms When we meet people for the first time we shake their hands But why do we do this Itrsquos because itrsquos lsquowhat we dorsquo ndash itrsquos expected of us

Why do we shake hands and not bump feet or rub elbows We have lsquolearnedrsquo to do it As children we see our parents do it and over time it becomes a cultural normrsquo

Similarly in organisations there are certain lsquoways of doing thingsrsquo In some organisations people have learned that they should simply

Swimming against the tide

Balancing acts | The pros and cons of working from homeBy Laura Baker

keep themselves out of trouble In others they have learned to make sure they never make a mistake In some they have learned that honesty can be career limiting and in others they have learned that itrsquos really a competition to be seen and noticed

After 50 years of research into the factors that influence organisational performance there are very few today who would not rank organisational culture as critical to business success

Customers experience an organisationrsquos culture when they communicate or interface with that organisation Staff experience it every day Friends and partners of staff hear about it in the stories that people tell about their work

Organisational culture is the single biggest reason improvement initiatives fail If an organisationrsquos culture has lsquotaughtrsquo people to simply lsquodo their jobrsquo or always unquestioningly obey the rules there is simply no way that any improvement (or culture change) programme is going to work without addressing that existing culture

Take someone who works in a job that has minimal autonomy and thus little opportunity to think within a culture that does not

welcome honest upward feedback and then ask people to lsquouse their initiativersquo or lsquobe creativersquo or lsquobe accountablersquo and yoursquore really wasting your time (and money)

An organisationrsquos culture either works for it or against it particularly in times of change and adaptation

Being able to clearly identify what aspects of the culture help and what aspects hinder is vital in being able to address culture change initiatives that actually work

Thirty years of research into organisational culture has led Human Synergistics to identify the cultural norms that help promote effective performance and those which inhibit it

The 12 norms are clustered into three groups While there is much more behind each norm than those descriptions listed below these are suitable lsquoone linersrsquo for each

Norms that represent AggressiveDefensive behaviours

bull Find fault in others

bull Be lsquotoughrsquo and powerfulrsquo

bull Compete rather than cooperate

bull Never ever make a mistake

Norms that represent Constructive behavioursbull Strive for excellencebull Learn and growbull Support one anotherbull Build relationshipsPlease those in positions of authority Norms that represent PassiveDefensive behavioursbull Simply follow the rulesbull Push decisions upwardsbull Avoid blame

Each organisation will have its own combination of these norms The more the Constructive norms prevail the more effective the organisationrsquos performance The more the PassiveDefensive norms prevail the more the organisation functions like a non-responsive bureaucracy and the more AggressiveDefensive norms prevail the organisation operates as a bunch of individuals with the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing

By measuring culture it can be lsquoprofiledrsquo Once profiled it can be lsquoseenrsquo Once seen it moves beyond being an intangible concept to a tangible reality Once lsquorealrsquo it can be changed

MAKING IT HIS WAYBy Terri Cluckie

Alasdair Cassels is an icon in Christchurch or he is around Woolston anyway His distinct looks play a part in that status tall frame dark glasses long white hair and moustache - itrsquos quite a striking presence but a humble and friendly one nonetheless

wwwcanterburytodayconz emsp January 2016 | 15

News |emspCover story

The man himself is probably just as iconic as his business ventures during the past few years specifically his boutique shopping arcade The Tannery and the Cassels amp Sons Brewery which he co-owns with his son Zak and son-in-law Joe Shanks

The Cassels family has contributed a lot to the economy of the city with various businesses sprawled throughout Alasdair co-owns the CBD Bar on Madras St as well as the brewery and shopping centre and has recently been working on a project to clean up the Heathcote River

The river itself is something Alasdair seems to dote on Itrsquos partly why he bought the site that The Tannery sits on way back in 1994

ldquoIt told a story straight away of Christchurch in its early days because Christchurch was really settled on the banks of the Heathcoterdquo Alasdair explains

Read anything about Alasdair in the paper or online and yoursquoll probably hear about the Heathcote and Christchurchrsquos early days He canrsquot help but let his passion for the city show Itrsquos understandable though ndash he seems to have known nothing but success in Christchurch

I first met Alasdair on a drizzly spring morning I had met him in the atrium of The Tannery to talk about the site and the shape of the city in general (who else to talk to about the city but a lover of it) but our conversation drifted more towards another of his passions craft beer

He has been making his own beer at home for years and even taught his children how to do it so of course he has set up his own brewery

The Cassels amp Sons Brewery was officially established in 2009 and started out exactly where it sits now in The Brewery bar of The Tannery It got off to a shaky start with the earthquakes following two years after it opened but that didnrsquot knock their confidence

for long In fact the craft beer industry in New Zealand as a whole is booming right now

According to the ANZ New Zealand Craft Beer Industry Insights 2015 report craft beer sales have increased 42 percent in the last year alone Beer exports to Asia have also doubled in the last two years with the Asian market potential being 750 times the size of New Zealand so it would seem now is the time to export

When we spoke Cassels amp Sons didnrsquot yet have the capacity to export due to hand bottling each beer and predominantly using kegs for draft beer or bottles sold at local markets to sell their product But things are very quickly about to change

The Brewery is situated at the entrance of The Tannery and houses their public bar kitchen and hand-built wood fire kettle which they used to brew their first batch of pilsner (itrsquos one of only two in the world according to Alasdair)

If you take a stroll to the bottom end of The Tannery car park you will come across a second building ndash one of Cassels amp Sonsrsquo bigger breweries - itrsquos here that big changes are about to be made

The brewery has just acquired a bottling plant they imported from Czech Republic It is the biggest bottling machine in the craft beer industry in New Zealand and should be up and running in February

The potential this $1m machine carries for Cassels amp Sons is huge The machine a Moravek 21244 Tribloc has a maximum production rate of 7000 bottles per hour and is capable of bottling over six million litres per year which more than out does the current hand-bottling methods of the brewery

ldquoBeer is easier to make and serve in a bar Once you start bottling it itrsquos got to be really technically made otherwise on the way to

market the flavour goes the bubbles go The more sophisticated the machine is the better chance yoursquove got of getting it to market so exporting and everything else becomes an optionrdquo explains Alasdair

He has hopes of bottling other breweriesrsquo beers too ndash another way of giving back to the community

When I met Alasdair in The Tannery he was sat with two other gentlemen clearly well at home in the Victorian-arcade inspired centre surrounded by his friends

We eventually shifted into the corner of a coffee shop to chat Something I didnrsquot realise at the time but quickly caught on to was just how popular Alasdair is Even later when we were taking pictures in the atrium people continuously made jokes with him tried to have a chat and just generally looked his way

Whether thatrsquos because he literally owns the place or because people have so much respect for him Irsquom not sure but even just spending an hour with him I can understand the pull he has

The Tannery is buzzing with business and visitors Itrsquos a really positive place to be

The centre didnrsquot really come to life until after the earthquakes because as Alasdair tells me for one reason or another before then he had struggled to get planning permission from the city council to do anything with the site It wasnrsquot until after the earthquakes that The Tannery began to transform into what it is today

ldquoIt was an absolute tragedy and all of us were shockedrdquo says Alasdair ldquoBut amongst all that was a sense of excitement There really was a sense of being able to do somethingrdquo

He explains that when the city centre was shut down in the aftermath a lot of boutique family-run businesses needed a new place to settle and The Tannery offered them the perfect spot ldquoIt was safety in numbers so dozens of them came hererdquo

The building itself had to be re-built but it meant that Alasdair was able to turn his dreams for the Woolston community into a reality

ldquoI wanted something that was peaceful and uplifting when you walked into it I wanted to make people feel better about things and also give them a chance to escape from the city or from at that stage the beaten up city

ldquoI wanted to create a fantasy and fairytale place which wasnrsquot as hard as it seemsrdquo

Although it took a few years to really get the centre and the businesses it housed off the ground the $20m project now has 65

happy tenants meaning all leases are under occupation A few more expansions are even in the works with Alice in Videoland building a two-screen cinema at the south end of the atrium with the Metropolitan Lounge going above it (a conference centre art gallery)

The news came late last year that Alasdair was planning on selling 45 percent of his shares for The Tannery in an aim to earn back some of the well-spent money he has dedicated to it

He is planning on channelling the money into other projects around Woolston but he is keeping the details under lock and key for now At this point in time itrsquos early days but Alasdair is confident that his shares will sell pretty easily so he can start making tracks on his next plan

He has big hopes for the city overall not just his little corner of it by the Heathcote river

ldquoIn the 50s and 60s Christchurch was a big capital of the South Island We had head offices bigger government departments and big banks here

ldquoNew Zealand went through an economic reform in the 80s and what happened then was head offices and bigger government departments were taken away from Christchurch and went to Auckland and Wellington so we shrunk and the need for a big city shrunk and we were only left with a few parts of town that really were used properly

ldquoCities like to be compact they like to be dense so they work better when therersquos lots of people and things to do and I think this new plan wersquove got will solve that problemrdquo explains Alasdair

Although the majority of Alasdairrsquos focus remains on the Woolston side of town he does talk a fair bit about the city Itrsquos clear he has big hopes for it Hersquos positive of the outcome and knows Christchurch is headed in the right direction

ldquoThe biggest thing we need in town is patience It might not be for a while but it will develop slowly and it will be a good placerdquo

At the end of our interview Alasdair took me along to the Brewery Bar to proudly show off their wood fire kettle He brought it up a few times during our conversation so hersquos clearly proud of it

And it is impressive It took him and his son-in-law six months to build by hand I guess that took his patience too and it must have been worth the wait I hear a Cassels amp Sons pint is damn good wwwthetanneryconz wwwcasselsbreweryconz

Cassels amp Sonsrsquo new Moravek bottling machine has a maximum production rate of 7000 bottles per hour and is capable of bottling over six million litres per year

Mental health days Why worryThe reality is that we work long and hard to do the job wersquove been assigned to do so achieving that worklife balance concept can seem redundant

Sometimes we simply just need a day off to sort ourselves out mentally in order to prevent burnout remain productive and increase our work performance when we return to the job

We often associate days off work with a physical illness but mental wellbeing is generally overlooked Keeping up with everything in life and work can become too much and our brains turn into mush

While a little worry and concern can focus the mind being overly stressed and unhappy isnrsquot good for your health and it isnrsquot good for those around you either Sometimes we (especially workaholics) find it difficult to give ourselves time off work because

We worry about how it might affect other people in the workplace

bull We think we wonrsquot be able to keep up with the workload when we return

bull We worry wersquore missing out

bull We feel guilty or pressured

bull We need the money

bull Or we think we donrsquot need the time off

But if yoursquore physically and emotionally exhausted suffering from sleepless nights feeling constantly stressed snappy at work and home or generally not caring about your work yoursquore on the road to having a meltdown and potentially committing career suicide

Whatrsquos worse working too hard instead of working smart to the best of your ability yet making mistakes - or taking a day off so you can get back to work re-energised and complete tasks to a high standard

While one day off wonrsquot cast away deep underlying stresses and strains it does allow you to step away from the scene of the crime and grab some much needed headspace

If you donrsquot want to eat into your holiday pay ask your boss to take an unpaid half day or full

History is full of poets philosophers and sages espousing the benefits of a positive disposition But it seems scientists disagreeWhy Because it pays to worry a little bit - quite literally

A study published in the Journal of Behavioural Decision Making in 2012 monitored 213 peoplersquos behaviour in relation to a simulated gambling game The study found participants in a sad or worrisome mood were more likely to make logical bets they knew had a higher likelihood of winning even after a series of losses

Whereas positive happy bettors were quicker and more likely to play what they knew was a riskier move Their jovial outlook influenced them to make unpredictable decisions on gut feelings despite the opportunity to play a logical bet

The study shows you are more likely to make winning decisions while you are in an anxious worried state of mind

But these findings donrsquot just apply to gambling The positive effect of this negative feeling translates into the business world In moderation worry can work wonders for your career

Sometimes a negative attitude is actually beneficial trait to have because it allows you to look at a situation in a more realistic light Feeling worried means you are more likely to make a logical decision with a higher outcome of success compared with your cheerful counterpart in the same situation

There is no danger of over promising and under delivering because you are thinking realistically Worry helps to rein in out of this world ideas it also assists with assessing the risks and obstacles in front of you

Worry can be the side effect of a strong desire to achieve perfection And in the pursuit of perfection worry can prompt you to double check and even triple check your work Without worry there is a risk you can become complacent a little too relaxed and more likely to make a mistake

Under a moderate amount of worry you are capable of learning and remembering new information more effectively This is because the primary stress hormone cortisol improves learning and memory at moderate concentrations compared to low or high concentrations

Worry has also been linked to accelerate career promotions and overall success An international study in Perspectives on Psychological Science in 2007 monitored 118519 peoplersquos careers

The study found those who are less happy attain higher salaries and more education while people who are very happy tend to form more rewarding relationships

People who are more susceptible to worry consequently exhibit the following personality traits

PROSbull More attentive to detailbull More motivated to work bull More polite and attentive to othersbull Vigilant for risks and threats

CONS bull Overcautious bull Less creativebull At risk of becoming too stressedbull More closed minded

In comparison worry-free people exhibit these contrasting behaviours

PROSbull More creativebull Form better relationshipsbull Healthierbull Willing to explore

CONSbull Prone to overlooking threats and dangersbull Open to unwise risks bull More gulliblebull Lacking appropriate embarrassment or guilt

day off And remember you donrsquot have to tell your co-workers that yoursquore taking a mental health day just that you wonrsquot be available

Whether you intend to be busy carrying out chores around the house exercising enjoying some retail therapy or you intend to do the complete opposite and catch up on sleep for the whole day a mental health day is whatever it means to you to be completely free

Just remember to plan ahead by informing your boss and colleagues of your leave in advance so they can work around it This way you wonrsquot need to worry about how your absence may affect others

And make sure when you take your mental health day work stays at work ndash donrsquot bring it home with you Turn your mobile phone off donrsquot check work related emails and certainly donrsquot take home any paperwork Emergencyrsquos only please

At the end of the day your health is important Provide some relief by paying attention to yourself and live a healthier life

Just remember to plan

ahead by informing your

boss and colleagues of

your leave in advance so

they can work around it

This way you wonrsquot need

to worry about how your

Health and safety is paramount for operators involved in the use of elevated work platforms

So when it comes time to validating your competency you want to choose the best training course available

Accessman is New Zealandrsquos leading specialised hire company providing scissor lifts cherry pickers knucklebooms and mobile scaffolding Itrsquos now leading the field as an accredited IPAF training provider to complement the existing Silvercard NZQA training it currently offers

The company launched the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) accredited training programme throughout the South Island in November as one of two companies nationwide to do so

The internationally recognised course was developed by leading industry professionals and is aimed at users of elevated work platforms generally in the construction industry and certifies operators in the machines of their choice IPAF training conforms to the international standard ISO 18878 - Mobile Elevating Work Platforms Operator training and ISO 9001 - Quality Management Systems

The Accessman Group general manager Lena Harrington says health and safety is a priority not only within the company but throughout the industry So when Accessman saw the opportunity to provide the renowned IPAF training programme it jumped at the chance

ldquoI think the marketplace needed an alternative qualification IPAFrsquos rigid testing structure ensures that only competent operators are awarded the

qualification which provides employers with peace of mind that their staff have been thoroughly trained ndash they will not pass unless they are competentrdquo

IPAF training was founded in the UK and today has 600 training outlets worldwide which are responsible for qualifying over 100000 people per year IPAF recognised the Accessman Group had the platform required to release the qualification to the New Zealand market in partnership with Total Access in the North Island

To become an accredited training centre a senior IPAF auditor was brought out from the UK to put Accessmanrsquos training staff through the intensive instructorrsquos course

ldquoObviously our staff had to have a significant amount of experience within the industry before they were eligible to become IPAF instructors some of whom are also qualified to train both IPAF and Silvercard NZQA The training venues also had to meet some fairly stringent requirementsrdquo Lena says

The course is comprised of both practical and theory based learning with assessments The classes are kept small to maximise individual learning and the training centres are regularly audited to ensure they meet and adhere to the IPAF standards Training centres also receive regular updates to ensure that attendees are receiving the best training possible Attendees of IPAF training receive a Powered Access Licence (PAL) card The PAL card is valid for five years and is internationally recognised It can also be instantly verified by anyone via an online database which not only includes a photo of the card holder but details of the card

Five reasons to attend an IPAF training programmeThe PAL card is valid for five yearsThe PAL card is internationally recognisedThe card can be instantly verified via an online databaseExpert training by leading industry professionals in small class sizesOn completion participants receive a PAL card log book and an operator handbook

Lena says the PAL card is useful to the large number of contractors from overseas in the city thanks to its international recognition ldquoContractors are coming and going all the time in Christchurch at the moment so it makes sense that they have a qualification that is transferablerdquo In addition all reputable manufacturers of elevated work platforms worldwide are members of IPAF an alignment that strengthens the service the not for profit federation provides

Back in the 1980s I trained for and gained a Private Pilotrsquos Licence (PPL) Although quite a number of years have passed since then I have never forgotten the joy and exhilaration of being in the air watching the world go by below There is an immense feeling of freedom to this recreational activity and every time you fly it is different in some way Other people such as Richie McCaw know the wonder of aviation and it is there for the taking

Take a trial flight at the South Canterbury Aero Club and see if you donrsquot become addicted

The South Canterbury Aero Club offers a superb environment and location for people to learn to fly whatever their reason for doing this may be Perhaps they are looking for a career in aviation or wish only to fly for recreation either way the South Canterbury Aero Club can cater for all needs from new students right through to commercial pilot training and beyond

The club operates from Timarursquos Richard Pearse airport a spectacular setting within easy flying

Proudly Supporting Window Treatments for over 10 Years

As New Zealandrsquos largest independently owned blind shutter awning and insect screen manufacturing and retail company Window Treatments offer products that follow the latest international trends

The company has retail stores and mobile showrooms throughout the country including nine across the South Island

It has an exciting range of new products available for the summer season including exterior awnings that are designed for longevity in harsh coastal environments

Owner Graeme Rose says the Palladio cassetted folding arm awning is a new generation awning ideal for home patios shops and kiosks offering unobstructed passage underneath It is made from aluminium marine-grade stainless steel fittings and fabrics designed for the outdoors

ldquoPalladio is fully cassetted so it protects the fabric when the awning is retractedrdquo he says

ldquoIt can cover everything up to seven metres in width and a projection of up to 36 metres Itrsquos very large and is ideal for creating that indoor-outdoor environment where you want sun or wind protectionrdquo

Other new awnings from Window Treatments include the Italia box radial arm awning which is ideal for both residential and commercial installations and the Terrazza pergola awning

Graeme says another exciting new product is the Securo side roller blind which rolls from side to side rather than up and down like a conventional roller blind

ldquoItrsquos particularly good for ranch sliders where you need some light control and it also doubles as an insect screen The beauty is you can roll it back just enough to get outside while still having your ranch slider open With a conventional roller blind yoursquod have to roll it right up to go through the doorrdquo

Focus | Tekapo Springs

Tekapo Springs is a year-round attraction beloved by visitors from across the globe In early 2015 the resort announced plans to open new multi-million dollar facilities for visitors families and locals to enjoy from late December onwards ndash and itrsquos finally here

New pools take Tekapo Springs to the next level

The new additions include three new pool areas including an aqua playspray area for kids and teens a beach accessed kidsrsquo pool and an adultsrsquo deep water pool

The pools all run at cooler water temperatures of 33 degrees Celsius for the kidsrsquo pool and aqua play area and 28 degrees Celsius for the adultsrsquo pool

Tekapo Springs owner and managing director Karl Burtscher says the aim is to offer a dditional entertaining aquatic options for families children and adults He also says the need to offer a wider temperature range of pool water was important especially during the summer months

Karl explains that the new additions completely open up the resort and create even more

opportunities for guests to gaze upon Lake Tekapo while enjoying the facilities

ldquoYou can now get down to pool level and really appreciate the views from the new adult pool in particular which quite possibly will have the best overall views down Lake Tekapo of any of the pools ndash old and newrdquo

The new pool additions themed lsquoHigh Country Tarnsrsquo each with its own distinctive shade of aqua green ndash were designed to complement the three existing hot pools and are part of Tekapo Springsrsquo long term growth strategy for expanding its aquatic attractions and offering a wider range of water temperatures and features

The new pools will also run through winter depending on outside weather temperatures

Focus | Tekapo Springs

A tight scheduleSince the first sod was turned on September 1 2015 progress was swift and exciting With the new pools taking shape and initial landscaping underway Tekapo Springs staff were thrilled to see dreams become reality

As of November 25 fibre glass spraying and painting of the adultsrsquo pool had been completed with fibre glass spraying commencing on the childrenrsquos cold pool a few days after

Karl says as the pools literally took shape on a daily basis staff could start to get a sense of what they would be delivering to guests

A helping handThe design concept of the pools came from Karl himself and he even completed some of the earth and civil works while co-ordinating the whole project

Although Karl played a major hand in bringing the new additions to life he received a wide slot of help from both local companies and others from around New Zealand

Those involved included H2O Water Systems from Auckland doing the pool plant High Country Carpentry from Fairlie doing all the building and formwork Stephen Styles Block and Brick doing block work Murray Linton Concrete doing concrete laying Reflex Industrial doing fibre glassing and Damon Smith Electrical and Prolec (Professional Electric) from Christchurch doing controls and automation

The perfect spotTekapo Springs is nestled on the shores of stunning Lake Tekapo boasting a unique mix of summer and winter recreation and relaxation

Open 364 days a year the attraction already includes three existing outdoor hot pools a steam and sauna facility an ice rink water slides summer and winter tubing a day spa cafeacute and fully licensed bar

The company has evolved into a year-round ldquomust-dordquo on the bucket list of many visitors to the South Island as well as stamping its mark as an important centrepiece in the Tekapo community

The new pools are a testament to the companyrsquos drive to grow and develop while continuously exceeding customer expectations The three new pools help step-up Tekapo Springsrsquo summer offering and put it among one of the countryrsquos leading tourism operators CT

Finance | Hamilton Hindin Greene

Christchurch businesses are all too familiar with the struggles and obstacles that come with upheaving an office and moving to a new location One local business that understands the struggle all too well is Hamilton Hindin Greene

The investment advisory firm has endured a turbulent and unsettled time since the February 2011 earthquake It has almost consistently been on the move from one premise to the next moving offices five times in the last five years

CEO Ian Perry explains that one day before the earthquake Hamilton Hindin Greene shifted from its office on Hereford Street in the old National Bank building where it had been based for 30 years to the BDO building on Victoria Street When the February quake struck it had just over a day to move everything out of the damaged building but luckily no one was hurt Ian says

In the following chaos it moved to a space above the Dinghyrsquos amp Outboards warehouse on Lincoln Road ldquothen that got knocked downrdquo In 2012 it shifted into a brand new building on Manchester Street called Westende House

ldquoIt was 140 percent up to code and we thought it was going to be our permanent location Then suddenly we got notice when the councilrsquos transport plan was released that the planners had decided they wanted to purchase the building to knock it down and widen the road

ldquoFinally in June 2014 we moved into where we are today at level 1 83 Victoria Street The office is located on the corner of Peterborough Street and hopefully wersquoll never have to move againrdquo

What Hamilton Hindin Greene can do for you Hamilton Hindin Greene is a boutique personalised and specialist investment advisory service It has evolved from solely operating as a share broker when it was established almost a century ago to the diverse investment advisory firm it is today

ldquoWe are no longer the traditional share broker who just deals in New Zealand shares We are investment advisors who use a diversified approach to investing in local and international shares and bonds to provide investment solutions to a range of peoplerdquo

Clients are paired with a personal advisor who takes them through the investment planning process to develop a risk profile for the particular objectives they want to achieve

The advisor then builds a bespoke profile using local Australian and international shares ldquoWe help them to select the right mix of good quality companies so over the long term theyrsquoll make an appropriate return for the risk they want to takerdquo

The advisor oversees the day to day running of clients portfolios and provides advice on potential outcomes of their investments ldquoOur advice is always customised to that particular individuals needsrdquo CT

Established in 1968 SIOC has been in continuous operation now for nearly 50 years The company offers tuning and maintenance of organs historic restorations and artistic rebuilds as well as new organ builds throughout New Zealand and overseas They are widely recognised as one of the leading firms specialising in pipe organ restoration and rebuilding

The SIOC has worked on literally hundreds of organs Some of the projects have been very large and complex such as their current restoration of Wellingtonrsquos fabulous 1906 Town Hall organ In 1997 at St Patrickrsquos Basilica Fremantle they rebuilt the largest church organ in Australia In 2008 they rebuilt the organ in UWArsquos Winthrop Hall and in 2010 the interconnected organs of St Maryrsquos Cathedral both in the city of Perth

Back in New Zealand a very special project completed late last year was the rebuild of the historic organ of Knox Presbyterian Church in Christchurch after both church and organ were badly damaged in the 201011 earthquakes

SIOCrsquos 12 man team reconstructed the original organ added some more pipes and a digital transmission to facilitate the mobilised and

ldquoEverything we do is quality old-fashioned craftsmanship made to last or to be restored We are not in the throw away utility market but in the heritage market creating one-off pieces that are going to become art works of the futurerdquo CT

adapted 1914 console in accordance with the Churchrsquos stated mission to provide a flexible concert space in the inner city

This project is a clear example of the way SIOC can incorporate leading-edge technology such as computerised digital playing aids and playback systems into organ restorations and rebuilds without compromising heritage

There is however another aspect to the work of the SIOC which may seem unrelated ndash but actually there is a connection The company can also restore precious antique furniture and create new custom joinery

This side of the operation is led by Zack Bennett a specialist in antique furniture restoration in carving and in sculpture as well as in the design and manufacture of customised joinery Zack is about to direct restoration of the historic 19th century reredos in St Saviourrsquos church in Lyttelton ndash a highly intricate project involving earthquake damaged timber and ceramic tiles So diversification is definitely the name of the game for the SIOC

An ever increasing social conscience about energy use and the effect it has on our environment is causing companies like Solar Bright to look into alternative options Using solar power technology the Christchurch-based team is making leaps and bounds with energy-generating products which are spreading throughout the city and beyond

You may recognise Solar Bright as the company behind the solar-powered table in the city centrersquos ReStart mall which visitors could use to charge their mobile devices that were running low

The table which was on loan to the council has now been relocated to a new home at Burnside High School Being the largest school in the South Island the team at Solar Bright donated the table to the school knowing they would get good use out of it

It seems the team at Solar Bright has not stopped since then They have created and installed five more tables that are dotted around the city have had interest from North Canterbury and Auckland City Council for similar products and have even installed a solar shelter in Linwood for people to charge their devices in

Managing director Nicola Martin explains that the hunger for electricity is growing dramatically and solar energy provides an effective solution

ldquoItrsquos just using what naturersquos already given us Itrsquos a renewable source of energy and means not having to rely solely on electricityrdquo

At the moment Solar Bright is also trialling the charging tables at the McDonaldrsquos restaurants on Moorhouse Ave and in Sydenham The idea is to see how the technology will work indoors and what kind of savings the chains will make on electricity bills as customers are increasingly using power points in store to charge their devices with

Nicola explained that these solar powered charging outlets are a great solution to electricity blackouts If power were ever cut from the city again people would have places like the tables and shelters to use to make sure their mobiles and devices stay on the green light making sure communication methods are protected during emergencies

But charging mobile phones and tablets ar e not the only good ideas Solar Bright has In 2012 Nicolarsquos husband and inventor of their products

Pat Martin realised the need for the detection of frost on roads and came up with PATeye technology

It is again solar powered via the sun and headlights from cars during the night and works the same sort of way that cats eyes currently do on roads around the world

With PATeye the devices installed on roads will flash blue LED lights when the air temperature reaches a certain level to warn people of the potential dangers of slipping

Due to regulations around the world it may take a little while for Solar Bright to weave through the legislation of installing the device on public roads but for now they are rolling out PATeyes on private roads car parks and pathways

Lincoln University Kiwi Rail Dunedin City Council Christchurch Polytechnic and even private NHS roads in the UK are just some of the institutions already using the technology

Solar Bright won two awards at this yearrsquos Champion Canterbury Awards for the Champion Producer Manufacturer as a small enterprise and the CDC Innovation Award for its ldquoinnovative sustainable energy-efficient lighting solutions which enhance safety and lifestyle both domestically and internationallyrdquo CT

Interior design is no longer a stand-alone field it blends seamlessly into so many other areas of life setting the scene for a larger picture incorporating art retail and fine foods

The art of interior designInterior designer and co-owner of Frobisher Interiors Ann-Marie Appleton saw the opportunity to bring together these complementing crafts into one location and create an entirely new interior design experience in Christchurch She and her team at Frobisher Interiors proudly opened the innovative new store on Manchester Street a year ago

The completely modern take on the store is unlike anything around ldquoWe are the only interior design business in the city that encompasses everything that interior design is about in one building Wersquove gone far beyond what is traditionally expected from an interior design shoprdquo

The industry leading store is a complete interior design shopping experience beautifully flowing uninterrupted from a coffee shop meeting space retail store fabric samples area to art gallery

The blended retail space offers everything and anything you might need ldquoThe draw card initially for customers especially for people who donrsquot know us as interior designers is the coffee shop and meeting space From there they can see beyond into the retail space which is adorned with beautiful little gifts and lovely things to buy for the home to larger items such as furniture and our interior design servicerdquo

Frobisher Interiors previously operated from a small villa in Merivale which was too small for

its needs The villa only just housed the team of staff restricted the number of samples on display and failed to properly showcase its work

When it came time to look for bigger premises it was a case of lsquogo big or go homersquo Ann-Marie says they looked at the big picture and made a massive wish list of everything they wanted in the new location then set to work making it a reality

It was also the site of New Zealandrsquos first public railway commissioned in 1863 Goods from Lyttelton were brought around on small boats and loaded onto the train which also carried passengers

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Designed to handle any load

cab chassis ldquoWe used to make the floor of a tipdeck to 6mm but with Hardox we can make them out of 4mm steel which makes a big difference to the weightrdquo

Quick turn around If you need a tipper body fast at a competitive rate Brokenshire Engineering is the team to call It has truck bodies in stock right now that can be custom-painted and fitted to a truck within two weeks But if you canrsquot find the right body in stock Brokenshire can custom-build paint install the pump oil tank and gas controls and fit it to the truck for just $45000 plus GST

Unparalleled products Brokenshirersquos ability to design and built anything for truck and trailers is unparalleled It builds new semi-tipper truck bodies and is the only business in the country that makes smooth surfaced runner-less tipper bodies

ldquoWe are the only people who make runner-less tipper bodies Most tipper bodies have got channels on them we donrsquot use channels This is the latest European designrdquo

It can also convert hydraulic truck breaks to an air break system and has three and five tonne full air axels on air suspension or springs available Henry has been in the transport engineering industry for 50 years and he says this experience in the industry means he can take on the difficult jobs that other people donrsquot want to CT

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

MAKING IT HIS WAYBy Terri Cluckie

Alasdair Cassels is an icon in Christchurch or he is around Woolston anyway His distinct looks play a part in that status tall frame dark glasses long white hair and moustache - itrsquos quite a striking presence but a humble and friendly one nonetheless

wwwcanterburytodayconz emsp January 2016 | 15

News |emspCover story

The man himself is probably just as iconic as his business ventures during the past few years specifically his boutique shopping arcade The Tannery and the Cassels amp Sons Brewery which he co-owns with his son Zak and son-in-law Joe Shanks

The Cassels family has contributed a lot to the economy of the city with various businesses sprawled throughout Alasdair co-owns the CBD Bar on Madras St as well as the brewery and shopping centre and has recently been working on a project to clean up the Heathcote River

The river itself is something Alasdair seems to dote on Itrsquos partly why he bought the site that The Tannery sits on way back in 1994

ldquoIt told a story straight away of Christchurch in its early days because Christchurch was really settled on the banks of the Heathcoterdquo Alasdair explains

Read anything about Alasdair in the paper or online and yoursquoll probably hear about the Heathcote and Christchurchrsquos early days He canrsquot help but let his passion for the city show Itrsquos understandable though ndash he seems to have known nothing but success in Christchurch

I first met Alasdair on a drizzly spring morning I had met him in the atrium of The Tannery to talk about the site and the shape of the city in general (who else to talk to about the city but a lover of it) but our conversation drifted more towards another of his passions craft beer

He has been making his own beer at home for years and even taught his children how to do it so of course he has set up his own brewery

The Cassels amp Sons Brewery was officially established in 2009 and started out exactly where it sits now in The Brewery bar of The Tannery It got off to a shaky start with the earthquakes following two years after it opened but that didnrsquot knock their confidence

for long In fact the craft beer industry in New Zealand as a whole is booming right now

According to the ANZ New Zealand Craft Beer Industry Insights 2015 report craft beer sales have increased 42 percent in the last year alone Beer exports to Asia have also doubled in the last two years with the Asian market potential being 750 times the size of New Zealand so it would seem now is the time to export

When we spoke Cassels amp Sons didnrsquot yet have the capacity to export due to hand bottling each beer and predominantly using kegs for draft beer or bottles sold at local markets to sell their product But things are very quickly about to change

The Brewery is situated at the entrance of The Tannery and houses their public bar kitchen and hand-built wood fire kettle which they used to brew their first batch of pilsner (itrsquos one of only two in the world according to Alasdair)

If you take a stroll to the bottom end of The Tannery car park you will come across a second building ndash one of Cassels amp Sonsrsquo bigger breweries - itrsquos here that big changes are about to be made

The brewery has just acquired a bottling plant they imported from Czech Republic It is the biggest bottling machine in the craft beer industry in New Zealand and should be up and running in February

The potential this $1m machine carries for Cassels amp Sons is huge The machine a Moravek 21244 Tribloc has a maximum production rate of 7000 bottles per hour and is capable of bottling over six million litres per year which more than out does the current hand-bottling methods of the brewery

ldquoBeer is easier to make and serve in a bar Once you start bottling it itrsquos got to be really technically made otherwise on the way to

market the flavour goes the bubbles go The more sophisticated the machine is the better chance yoursquove got of getting it to market so exporting and everything else becomes an optionrdquo explains Alasdair

He has hopes of bottling other breweriesrsquo beers too ndash another way of giving back to the community

When I met Alasdair in The Tannery he was sat with two other gentlemen clearly well at home in the Victorian-arcade inspired centre surrounded by his friends

We eventually shifted into the corner of a coffee shop to chat Something I didnrsquot realise at the time but quickly caught on to was just how popular Alasdair is Even later when we were taking pictures in the atrium people continuously made jokes with him tried to have a chat and just generally looked his way

Whether thatrsquos because he literally owns the place or because people have so much respect for him Irsquom not sure but even just spending an hour with him I can understand the pull he has

The Tannery is buzzing with business and visitors Itrsquos a really positive place to be

The centre didnrsquot really come to life until after the earthquakes because as Alasdair tells me for one reason or another before then he had struggled to get planning permission from the city council to do anything with the site It wasnrsquot until after the earthquakes that The Tannery began to transform into what it is today

ldquoIt was an absolute tragedy and all of us were shockedrdquo says Alasdair ldquoBut amongst all that was a sense of excitement There really was a sense of being able to do somethingrdquo

He explains that when the city centre was shut down in the aftermath a lot of boutique family-run businesses needed a new place to settle and The Tannery offered them the perfect spot ldquoIt was safety in numbers so dozens of them came hererdquo

The building itself had to be re-built but it meant that Alasdair was able to turn his dreams for the Woolston community into a reality

ldquoI wanted something that was peaceful and uplifting when you walked into it I wanted to make people feel better about things and also give them a chance to escape from the city or from at that stage the beaten up city

ldquoI wanted to create a fantasy and fairytale place which wasnrsquot as hard as it seemsrdquo

Although it took a few years to really get the centre and the businesses it housed off the ground the $20m project now has 65

happy tenants meaning all leases are under occupation A few more expansions are even in the works with Alice in Videoland building a two-screen cinema at the south end of the atrium with the Metropolitan Lounge going above it (a conference centre art gallery)

The news came late last year that Alasdair was planning on selling 45 percent of his shares for The Tannery in an aim to earn back some of the well-spent money he has dedicated to it

He is planning on channelling the money into other projects around Woolston but he is keeping the details under lock and key for now At this point in time itrsquos early days but Alasdair is confident that his shares will sell pretty easily so he can start making tracks on his next plan

He has big hopes for the city overall not just his little corner of it by the Heathcote river

ldquoIn the 50s and 60s Christchurch was a big capital of the South Island We had head offices bigger government departments and big banks here

ldquoNew Zealand went through an economic reform in the 80s and what happened then was head offices and bigger government departments were taken away from Christchurch and went to Auckland and Wellington so we shrunk and the need for a big city shrunk and we were only left with a few parts of town that really were used properly

ldquoCities like to be compact they like to be dense so they work better when therersquos lots of people and things to do and I think this new plan wersquove got will solve that problemrdquo explains Alasdair

Although the majority of Alasdairrsquos focus remains on the Woolston side of town he does talk a fair bit about the city Itrsquos clear he has big hopes for it Hersquos positive of the outcome and knows Christchurch is headed in the right direction

ldquoThe biggest thing we need in town is patience It might not be for a while but it will develop slowly and it will be a good placerdquo

At the end of our interview Alasdair took me along to the Brewery Bar to proudly show off their wood fire kettle He brought it up a few times during our conversation so hersquos clearly proud of it

And it is impressive It took him and his son-in-law six months to build by hand I guess that took his patience too and it must have been worth the wait I hear a Cassels amp Sons pint is damn good wwwthetanneryconz wwwcasselsbreweryconz

News |emspMind matters

Mental health days Why worryThe reality is that we work long and hard to do the job wersquove been assigned to do so achieving that worklife balance concept can seem redundant

Sometimes we simply just need a day off to sort ourselves out mentally in order to prevent burnout remain productive and increase our work performance when we return to the job

We often associate days off work with a physical illness but mental wellbeing is generally overlooked Keeping up with everything in life and work can become too much and our brains turn into mush

While a little worry and concern can focus the mind being overly stressed and unhappy isnrsquot good for your health and it isnrsquot good for those around you either Sometimes we (especially workaholics) find it difficult to give ourselves time off work because

We worry about how it might affect other people in the workplace

bull We think we wonrsquot be able to keep up with the workload when we return

bull We worry wersquore missing out

bull We feel guilty or pressured

bull We need the money

bull Or we think we donrsquot need the time off

But if yoursquore physically and emotionally exhausted suffering from sleepless nights feeling constantly stressed snappy at work and home or generally not caring about your work yoursquore on the road to having a meltdown and potentially committing career suicide

Whatrsquos worse working too hard instead of working smart to the best of your ability yet making mistakes - or taking a day off so you can get back to work re-energised and complete tasks to a high standard

While one day off wonrsquot cast away deep underlying stresses and strains it does allow you to step away from the scene of the crime and grab some much needed headspace

If you donrsquot want to eat into your holiday pay ask your boss to take an unpaid half day or full

History is full of poets philosophers and sages espousing the benefits of a positive disposition But it seems scientists disagreeWhy Because it pays to worry a little bit - quite literally

A study published in the Journal of Behavioural Decision Making in 2012 monitored 213 peoplersquos behaviour in relation to a simulated gambling game The study found participants in a sad or worrisome mood were more likely to make logical bets they knew had a higher likelihood of winning even after a series of losses

Whereas positive happy bettors were quicker and more likely to play what they knew was a riskier move Their jovial outlook influenced them to make unpredictable decisions on gut feelings despite the opportunity to play a logical bet

The study shows you are more likely to make winning decisions while you are in an anxious worried state of mind

But these findings donrsquot just apply to gambling The positive effect of this negative feeling translates into the business world In moderation worry can work wonders for your career

Sometimes a negative attitude is actually beneficial trait to have because it allows you to look at a situation in a more realistic light Feeling worried means you are more likely to make a logical decision with a higher outcome of success compared with your cheerful counterpart in the same situation

There is no danger of over promising and under delivering because you are thinking realistically Worry helps to rein in out of this world ideas it also assists with assessing the risks and obstacles in front of you

Worry can be the side effect of a strong desire to achieve perfection And in the pursuit of perfection worry can prompt you to double check and even triple check your work Without worry there is a risk you can become complacent a little too relaxed and more likely to make a mistake

Under a moderate amount of worry you are capable of learning and remembering new information more effectively This is because the primary stress hormone cortisol improves learning and memory at moderate concentrations compared to low or high concentrations

Worry has also been linked to accelerate career promotions and overall success An international study in Perspectives on Psychological Science in 2007 monitored 118519 peoplersquos careers

The study found those who are less happy attain higher salaries and more education while people who are very happy tend to form more rewarding relationships

People who are more susceptible to worry consequently exhibit the following personality traits

PROSbull More attentive to detailbull More motivated to work bull More polite and attentive to othersbull Vigilant for risks and threats

CONS bull Overcautious bull Less creativebull At risk of becoming too stressedbull More closed minded

In comparison worry-free people exhibit these contrasting behaviours

PROSbull More creativebull Form better relationshipsbull Healthierbull Willing to explore

CONSbull Prone to overlooking threats and dangersbull Open to unwise risks bull More gulliblebull Lacking appropriate embarrassment or guilt

By Laura Baker

day off And remember you donrsquot have to tell your co-workers that yoursquore taking a mental health day just that you wonrsquot be available

Whether you intend to be busy carrying out chores around the house exercising enjoying some retail therapy or you intend to do the complete opposite and catch up on sleep for the whole day a mental health day is whatever it means to you to be completely free

Just remember to plan ahead by informing your boss and colleagues of your leave in advance so they can work around it This way you wonrsquot need to worry about how your absence may affect others

And make sure when you take your mental health day work stays at work ndash donrsquot bring it home with you Turn your mobile phone off donrsquot check work related emails and certainly donrsquot take home any paperwork Emergencyrsquos only please

At the end of the day your health is important Provide some relief by paying attention to yourself and live a healthier life

Just remember to plan

your leave in advance so

they can work around it

Health and safety is paramount for operators involved in the use of elevated work platforms

So when it comes time to validating your competency you want to choose the best training course available

Accessman is New Zealandrsquos leading specialised hire company providing scissor lifts cherry pickers knucklebooms and mobile scaffolding Itrsquos now leading the field as an accredited IPAF training provider to complement the existing Silvercard NZQA training it currently offers

The company launched the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) accredited training programme throughout the South Island in November as one of two companies nationwide to do so

The internationally recognised course was developed by leading industry professionals and is aimed at users of elevated work platforms generally in the construction industry and certifies operators in the machines of their choice IPAF training conforms to the international standard ISO 18878 - Mobile Elevating Work Platforms Operator training and ISO 9001 - Quality Management Systems

The Accessman Group general manager Lena Harrington says health and safety is a priority not only within the company but throughout the industry So when Accessman saw the opportunity to provide the renowned IPAF training programme it jumped at the chance

ldquoI think the marketplace needed an alternative qualification IPAFrsquos rigid testing structure ensures that only competent operators are awarded the

qualification which provides employers with peace of mind that their staff have been thoroughly trained ndash they will not pass unless they are competentrdquo

IPAF training was founded in the UK and today has 600 training outlets worldwide which are responsible for qualifying over 100000 people per year IPAF recognised the Accessman Group had the platform required to release the qualification to the New Zealand market in partnership with Total Access in the North Island

To become an accredited training centre a senior IPAF auditor was brought out from the UK to put Accessmanrsquos training staff through the intensive instructorrsquos course

ldquoObviously our staff had to have a significant amount of experience within the industry before they were eligible to become IPAF instructors some of whom are also qualified to train both IPAF and Silvercard NZQA The training venues also had to meet some fairly stringent requirementsrdquo Lena says

The course is comprised of both practical and theory based learning with assessments The classes are kept small to maximise individual learning and the training centres are regularly audited to ensure they meet and adhere to the IPAF standards Training centres also receive regular updates to ensure that attendees are receiving the best training possible Attendees of IPAF training receive a Powered Access Licence (PAL) card The PAL card is valid for five years and is internationally recognised It can also be instantly verified by anyone via an online database which not only includes a photo of the card holder but details of the card

Five reasons to attend an IPAF training programmeThe PAL card is valid for five yearsThe PAL card is internationally recognisedThe card can be instantly verified via an online databaseExpert training by leading industry professionals in small class sizesOn completion participants receive a PAL card log book and an operator handbook

expiration date and machines the card holder can operate In addition they also receive a log book to record their machine use and an operator handbook

Lena says the PAL card is useful to the large number of contractors from overseas in the city thanks to its international recognition ldquoContractors are coming and going all the time in Christchurch at the moment so it makes sense that they have a qualification that is transferablerdquo In addition all reputable manufacturers of elevated work platforms worldwide are members of IPAF an alignment that strengthens the service the not for profit federation provides

Air travel the way we always imagined it should befor take off It obtained its Air Operating Certificate from the Civil Aviation Authority in October which meant it could join the likes of Air New Zealand and Jetstar as a large aircraft commercial airline

ldquoObtaining our Air Operating Certificate is a huge achievement It enables us to operate a regular passenger service within New Zealand using the Saab 340 airliner The last time a New Zealand airline got issued the same type of certificate was Pacific Blue well over 10 years agordquo chief executive Ewan Wilson says

But the only independently owned and operated airline in the country isnrsquot going into competition with the large airlines Ewan says it aims to carve out a niche for itself in the regional centres

ldquoWe deliberately avoid direct competition with Air New Zealand and Jetstar by developing regional to regional routesrdquo He says its goal is to develop its niche markets stay disciplined respond to customer demand and provide a safe sustainable air service to regional New Zealand

The fledging airline services Hamilton Nelson Dunedin and Tauranga Its route network flies direct from Hamilton to Nelson Nelson to Dunedin and Tauranga to Nelson It operated its first scheduled passenger service on October 27 and has received amazing support on the Dunedin direct to Nelson service and Nelson direct to Hamilton

Back in the 1980s I trained for and gained a Private Pilotrsquos Licence (PPL) Although quite a number of years have passed since then I have never forgotten the joy and exhilaration of being in the air watching the world go by below There is an immense feeling of freedom to this recreational activity and every time you fly it is different in some way Other people such as Richie McCaw know the wonder of aviation and it is there for the taking

Take a trial flight at the South Canterbury Aero Club and see if you donrsquot become addicted

Proudly Supporting Window Treatments for over 10 Years

As New Zealandrsquos largest independently owned blind shutter awning and insect screen manufacturing and retail company Window Treatments offer products that follow the latest international trends

The company has retail stores and mobile showrooms throughout the country including nine across the South Island

It has an exciting range of new products available for the summer season including exterior awnings that are designed for longevity in harsh coastal environments

Owner Graeme Rose says the Palladio cassetted folding arm awning is a new generation awning ideal for home patios shops and kiosks offering unobstructed passage underneath It is made from aluminium marine-grade stainless steel fittings and fabrics designed for the outdoors

ldquoPalladio is fully cassetted so it protects the fabric when the awning is retractedrdquo he says

ldquoIt can cover everything up to seven metres in width and a projection of up to 36 metres Itrsquos very large and is ideal for creating that indoor-outdoor environment where you want sun or wind protectionrdquo

Other new awnings from Window Treatments include the Italia box radial arm awning which is ideal for both residential and commercial installations and the Terrazza pergola awning

Graeme says another exciting new product is the Securo side roller blind which rolls from side to side rather than up and down like a conventional roller blind

ldquoItrsquos particularly good for ranch sliders where you need some light control and it also doubles as an insect screen The beauty is you can roll it back just enough to get outside while still having your ranch slider open With a conventional roller blind yoursquod have to roll it right up to go through the doorrdquo

Focus | Tekapo Springs

Tekapo Springs is a year-round attraction beloved by visitors from across the globe In early 2015 the resort announced plans to open new multi-million dollar facilities for visitors families and locals to enjoy from late December onwards ndash and itrsquos finally here

New pools take Tekapo Springs to the next level

The new additions include three new pool areas including an aqua playspray area for kids and teens a beach accessed kidsrsquo pool and an adultsrsquo deep water pool

The pools all run at cooler water temperatures of 33 degrees Celsius for the kidsrsquo pool and aqua play area and 28 degrees Celsius for the adultsrsquo pool

Tekapo Springs owner and managing director Karl Burtscher says the aim is to offer a dditional entertaining aquatic options for families children and adults He also says the need to offer a wider temperature range of pool water was important especially during the summer months

Karl explains that the new additions completely open up the resort and create even more

opportunities for guests to gaze upon Lake Tekapo while enjoying the facilities

A tight scheduleSince the first sod was turned on September 1 2015 progress was swift and exciting With the new pools taking shape and initial landscaping underway Tekapo Springs staff were thrilled to see dreams become reality

As of November 25 fibre glass spraying and painting of the adultsrsquo pool had been completed with fibre glass spraying commencing on the childrenrsquos cold pool a few days after

Karl says as the pools literally took shape on a daily basis staff could start to get a sense of what they would be delivering to guests

A helping handThe design concept of the pools came from Karl himself and he even completed some of the earth and civil works while co-ordinating the whole project

Although Karl played a major hand in bringing the new additions to life he received a wide slot of help from both local companies and others from around New Zealand

Those involved included H2O Water Systems from Auckland doing the pool plant High Country Carpentry from Fairlie doing all the building and formwork Stephen Styles Block and Brick doing block work Murray Linton Concrete doing concrete laying Reflex Industrial doing fibre glassing and Damon Smith Electrical and Prolec (Professional Electric) from Christchurch doing controls and automation

The perfect spotTekapo Springs is nestled on the shores of stunning Lake Tekapo boasting a unique mix of summer and winter recreation and relaxation

Open 364 days a year the attraction already includes three existing outdoor hot pools a steam and sauna facility an ice rink water slides summer and winter tubing a day spa cafeacute and fully licensed bar

The company has evolved into a year-round ldquomust-dordquo on the bucket list of many visitors to the South Island as well as stamping its mark as an important centrepiece in the Tekapo community

The new pools are a testament to the companyrsquos drive to grow and develop while continuously exceeding customer expectations The three new pools help step-up Tekapo Springsrsquo summer offering and put it among one of the countryrsquos leading tourism operators CT

Finance | Hamilton Hindin Greene

Christchurch businesses are all too familiar with the struggles and obstacles that come with upheaving an office and moving to a new location One local business that understands the struggle all too well is Hamilton Hindin Greene

The investment advisory firm has endured a turbulent and unsettled time since the February 2011 earthquake It has almost consistently been on the move from one premise to the next moving offices five times in the last five years

CEO Ian Perry explains that one day before the earthquake Hamilton Hindin Greene shifted from its office on Hereford Street in the old National Bank building where it had been based for 30 years to the BDO building on Victoria Street When the February quake struck it had just over a day to move everything out of the damaged building but luckily no one was hurt Ian says

In the following chaos it moved to a space above the Dinghyrsquos amp Outboards warehouse on Lincoln Road ldquothen that got knocked downrdquo In 2012 it shifted into a brand new building on Manchester Street called Westende House

ldquoIt was 140 percent up to code and we thought it was going to be our permanent location Then suddenly we got notice when the councilrsquos transport plan was released that the planners had decided they wanted to purchase the building to knock it down and widen the road

ldquoFinally in June 2014 we moved into where we are today at level 1 83 Victoria Street The office is located on the corner of Peterborough Street and hopefully wersquoll never have to move againrdquo

What Hamilton Hindin Greene can do for you Hamilton Hindin Greene is a boutique personalised and specialist investment advisory service It has evolved from solely operating as a share broker when it was established almost a century ago to the diverse investment advisory firm it is today

ldquoWe are no longer the traditional share broker who just deals in New Zealand shares We are investment advisors who use a diversified approach to investing in local and international shares and bonds to provide investment solutions to a range of peoplerdquo

Clients are paired with a personal advisor who takes them through the investment planning process to develop a risk profile for the particular objectives they want to achieve

The advisor then builds a bespoke profile using local Australian and international shares ldquoWe help them to select the right mix of good quality companies so over the long term theyrsquoll make an appropriate return for the risk they want to takerdquo

The advisor oversees the day to day running of clients portfolios and provides advice on potential outcomes of their investments ldquoOur advice is always customised to that particular individuals needsrdquo CT

The organ is the grandest of instruments Itrsquos been referred to as the closest to heaven instrument on earth with a sound thatrsquos powerful rich and deeply moving

Restoring heritage pieces to their former glory

Keeping such instruments in pristine working order is a highly specialised craft One company that has these skills in such a niche field is the South Island Organ Company (SIOC) based in Timaru

Established in 1968 SIOC has been in continuous operation now for nearly 50 years The company offers tuning and maintenance of organs historic restorations and artistic rebuilds as well as new organ builds throughout New Zealand and overseas They are widely recognised as one of the leading firms specialising in pipe organ restoration and rebuilding

The SIOC has worked on literally hundreds of organs Some of the projects have been very large and complex such as their current restoration of Wellingtonrsquos fabulous 1906 Town Hall organ In 1997 at St Patrickrsquos Basilica Fremantle they rebuilt the largest church organ in Australia In 2008 they rebuilt the organ in UWArsquos Winthrop Hall and in 2010 the interconnected organs of St Maryrsquos Cathedral both in the city of Perth

Back in New Zealand a very special project completed late last year was the rebuild of the historic organ of Knox Presbyterian Church in Christchurch after both church and organ were badly damaged in the 201011 earthquakes

SIOCrsquos 12 man team reconstructed the original organ added some more pipes and a digital transmission to facilitate the mobilised and

ldquoEverything we do is quality old-fashioned craftsmanship made to last or to be restored We are not in the throw away utility market but in the heritage market creating one-off pieces that are going to become art works of the futurerdquo CT

adapted 1914 console in accordance with the Churchrsquos stated mission to provide a flexible concert space in the inner city

This project is a clear example of the way SIOC can incorporate leading-edge technology such as computerised digital playing aids and playback systems into organ restorations and rebuilds without compromising heritage

There is however another aspect to the work of the SIOC which may seem unrelated ndash but actually there is a connection The company can also restore precious antique furniture and create new custom joinery

This side of the operation is led by Zack Bennett a specialist in antique furniture restoration in carving and in sculpture as well as in the design and manufacture of customised joinery Zack is about to direct restoration of the historic 19th century reredos in St Saviourrsquos church in Lyttelton ndash a highly intricate project involving earthquake damaged timber and ceramic tiles So diversification is definitely the name of the game for the SIOC

An ever increasing social conscience about energy use and the effect it has on our environment is causing companies like Solar Bright to look into alternative options Using solar power technology the Christchurch-based team is making leaps and bounds with energy-generating products which are spreading throughout the city and beyond

You may recognise Solar Bright as the company behind the solar-powered table in the city centrersquos ReStart mall which visitors could use to charge their mobile devices that were running low

The table which was on loan to the council has now been relocated to a new home at Burnside High School Being the largest school in the South Island the team at Solar Bright donated the table to the school knowing they would get good use out of it

It seems the team at Solar Bright has not stopped since then They have created and installed five more tables that are dotted around the city have had interest from North Canterbury and Auckland City Council for similar products and have even installed a solar shelter in Linwood for people to charge their devices in

Managing director Nicola Martin explains that the hunger for electricity is growing dramatically and solar energy provides an effective solution

ldquoItrsquos just using what naturersquos already given us Itrsquos a renewable source of energy and means not having to rely solely on electricityrdquo

At the moment Solar Bright is also trialling the charging tables at the McDonaldrsquos restaurants on Moorhouse Ave and in Sydenham The idea is to see how the technology will work indoors and what kind of savings the chains will make on electricity bills as customers are increasingly using power points in store to charge their devices with

Nicola explained that these solar powered charging outlets are a great solution to electricity blackouts If power were ever cut from the city again people would have places like the tables and shelters to use to make sure their mobiles and devices stay on the green light making sure communication methods are protected during emergencies

But charging mobile phones and tablets ar e not the only good ideas Solar Bright has In 2012 Nicolarsquos husband and inventor of their products

Pat Martin realised the need for the detection of frost on roads and came up with PATeye technology

It is again solar powered via the sun and headlights from cars during the night and works the same sort of way that cats eyes currently do on roads around the world

With PATeye the devices installed on roads will flash blue LED lights when the air temperature reaches a certain level to warn people of the potential dangers of slipping

Due to regulations around the world it may take a little while for Solar Bright to weave through the legislation of installing the device on public roads but for now they are rolling out PATeyes on private roads car parks and pathways

Lincoln University Kiwi Rail Dunedin City Council Christchurch Polytechnic and even private NHS roads in the UK are just some of the institutions already using the technology

Solar Bright won two awards at this yearrsquos Champion Canterbury Awards for the Champion Producer Manufacturer as a small enterprise and the CDC Innovation Award for its ldquoinnovative sustainable energy-efficient lighting solutions which enhance safety and lifestyle both domestically and internationallyrdquo CT

Interior design is no longer a stand-alone field it blends seamlessly into so many other areas of life setting the scene for a larger picture incorporating art retail and fine foods

The art of interior designInterior designer and co-owner of Frobisher Interiors Ann-Marie Appleton saw the opportunity to bring together these complementing crafts into one location and create an entirely new interior design experience in Christchurch She and her team at Frobisher Interiors proudly opened the innovative new store on Manchester Street a year ago

The completely modern take on the store is unlike anything around ldquoWe are the only interior design business in the city that encompasses everything that interior design is about in one building Wersquove gone far beyond what is traditionally expected from an interior design shoprdquo

The industry leading store is a complete interior design shopping experience beautifully flowing uninterrupted from a coffee shop meeting space retail store fabric samples area to art gallery

The blended retail space offers everything and anything you might need ldquoThe draw card initially for customers especially for people who donrsquot know us as interior designers is the coffee shop and meeting space From there they can see beyond into the retail space which is adorned with beautiful little gifts and lovely things to buy for the home to larger items such as furniture and our interior design servicerdquo

Frobisher Interiors previously operated from a small villa in Merivale which was too small for

its needs The villa only just housed the team of staff restricted the number of samples on display and failed to properly showcase its work

When it came time to look for bigger premises it was a case of lsquogo big or go homersquo Ann-Marie says they looked at the big picture and made a massive wish list of everything they wanted in the new location then set to work making it a reality

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Designed to handle any load

cab chassis ldquoWe used to make the floor of a tipdeck to 6mm but with Hardox we can make them out of 4mm steel which makes a big difference to the weightrdquo

Quick turn around If you need a tipper body fast at a competitive rate Brokenshire Engineering is the team to call It has truck bodies in stock right now that can be custom-painted and fitted to a truck within two weeks But if you canrsquot find the right body in stock Brokenshire can custom-build paint install the pump oil tank and gas controls and fit it to the truck for just $45000 plus GST

Unparalleled products Brokenshirersquos ability to design and built anything for truck and trailers is unparalleled It builds new semi-tipper truck bodies and is the only business in the country that makes smooth surfaced runner-less tipper bodies

ldquoWe are the only people who make runner-less tipper bodies Most tipper bodies have got channels on them we donrsquot use channels This is the latest European designrdquo

It can also convert hydraulic truck breaks to an air break system and has three and five tonne full air axels on air suspension or springs available Henry has been in the transport engineering industry for 50 years and he says this experience in the industry means he can take on the difficult jobs that other people donrsquot want to CT

Beautifully finished in dark stained American Oak the space exudes elegance

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Therersquos a big focus on getting everyone involved including parents some of whom go on to achieve their lifeguard award CT

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

Indeed when customers purchase a new Nissan they are often surprised in the best way possible ndash wowed even

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

The man himself is probably just as iconic as his business ventures during the past few years specifically his boutique shopping arcade The Tannery and the Cassels amp Sons Brewery which he co-owns with his son Zak and son-in-law Joe Shanks

The Cassels family has contributed a lot to the economy of the city with various businesses sprawled throughout Alasdair co-owns the CBD Bar on Madras St as well as the brewery and shopping centre and has recently been working on a project to clean up the Heathcote River

The river itself is something Alasdair seems to dote on Itrsquos partly why he bought the site that The Tannery sits on way back in 1994

ldquoIt told a story straight away of Christchurch in its early days because Christchurch was really settled on the banks of the Heathcoterdquo Alasdair explains

Read anything about Alasdair in the paper or online and yoursquoll probably hear about the Heathcote and Christchurchrsquos early days He canrsquot help but let his passion for the city show Itrsquos understandable though ndash he seems to have known nothing but success in Christchurch

I first met Alasdair on a drizzly spring morning I had met him in the atrium of The Tannery to talk about the site and the shape of the city in general (who else to talk to about the city but a lover of it) but our conversation drifted more towards another of his passions craft beer

He has been making his own beer at home for years and even taught his children how to do it so of course he has set up his own brewery

The Cassels amp Sons Brewery was officially established in 2009 and started out exactly where it sits now in The Brewery bar of The Tannery It got off to a shaky start with the earthquakes following two years after it opened but that didnrsquot knock their confidence

for long In fact the craft beer industry in New Zealand as a whole is booming right now

According to the ANZ New Zealand Craft Beer Industry Insights 2015 report craft beer sales have increased 42 percent in the last year alone Beer exports to Asia have also doubled in the last two years with the Asian market potential being 750 times the size of New Zealand so it would seem now is the time to export

When we spoke Cassels amp Sons didnrsquot yet have the capacity to export due to hand bottling each beer and predominantly using kegs for draft beer or bottles sold at local markets to sell their product But things are very quickly about to change

The Brewery is situated at the entrance of The Tannery and houses their public bar kitchen and hand-built wood fire kettle which they used to brew their first batch of pilsner (itrsquos one of only two in the world according to Alasdair)

If you take a stroll to the bottom end of The Tannery car park you will come across a second building ndash one of Cassels amp Sonsrsquo bigger breweries - itrsquos here that big changes are about to be made

The brewery has just acquired a bottling plant they imported from Czech Republic It is the biggest bottling machine in the craft beer industry in New Zealand and should be up and running in February

The potential this $1m machine carries for Cassels amp Sons is huge The machine a Moravek 21244 Tribloc has a maximum production rate of 7000 bottles per hour and is capable of bottling over six million litres per year which more than out does the current hand-bottling methods of the brewery

ldquoBeer is easier to make and serve in a bar Once you start bottling it itrsquos got to be really technically made otherwise on the way to

market the flavour goes the bubbles go The more sophisticated the machine is the better chance yoursquove got of getting it to market so exporting and everything else becomes an optionrdquo explains Alasdair

He has hopes of bottling other breweriesrsquo beers too ndash another way of giving back to the community

When I met Alasdair in The Tannery he was sat with two other gentlemen clearly well at home in the Victorian-arcade inspired centre surrounded by his friends

We eventually shifted into the corner of a coffee shop to chat Something I didnrsquot realise at the time but quickly caught on to was just how popular Alasdair is Even later when we were taking pictures in the atrium people continuously made jokes with him tried to have a chat and just generally looked his way

Whether thatrsquos because he literally owns the place or because people have so much respect for him Irsquom not sure but even just spending an hour with him I can understand the pull he has

The Tannery is buzzing with business and visitors Itrsquos a really positive place to be

The centre didnrsquot really come to life until after the earthquakes because as Alasdair tells me for one reason or another before then he had struggled to get planning permission from the city council to do anything with the site It wasnrsquot until after the earthquakes that The Tannery began to transform into what it is today

ldquoIt was an absolute tragedy and all of us were shockedrdquo says Alasdair ldquoBut amongst all that was a sense of excitement There really was a sense of being able to do somethingrdquo

He explains that when the city centre was shut down in the aftermath a lot of boutique family-run businesses needed a new place to settle and The Tannery offered them the perfect spot ldquoIt was safety in numbers so dozens of them came hererdquo

The building itself had to be re-built but it meant that Alasdair was able to turn his dreams for the Woolston community into a reality

ldquoI wanted something that was peaceful and uplifting when you walked into it I wanted to make people feel better about things and also give them a chance to escape from the city or from at that stage the beaten up city

ldquoI wanted to create a fantasy and fairytale place which wasnrsquot as hard as it seemsrdquo

Although it took a few years to really get the centre and the businesses it housed off the ground the $20m project now has 65

happy tenants meaning all leases are under occupation A few more expansions are even in the works with Alice in Videoland building a two-screen cinema at the south end of the atrium with the Metropolitan Lounge going above it (a conference centre art gallery)

The news came late last year that Alasdair was planning on selling 45 percent of his shares for The Tannery in an aim to earn back some of the well-spent money he has dedicated to it

He is planning on channelling the money into other projects around Woolston but he is keeping the details under lock and key for now At this point in time itrsquos early days but Alasdair is confident that his shares will sell pretty easily so he can start making tracks on his next plan

He has big hopes for the city overall not just his little corner of it by the Heathcote river

ldquoIn the 50s and 60s Christchurch was a big capital of the South Island We had head offices bigger government departments and big banks here

ldquoNew Zealand went through an economic reform in the 80s and what happened then was head offices and bigger government departments were taken away from Christchurch and went to Auckland and Wellington so we shrunk and the need for a big city shrunk and we were only left with a few parts of town that really were used properly

ldquoCities like to be compact they like to be dense so they work better when therersquos lots of people and things to do and I think this new plan wersquove got will solve that problemrdquo explains Alasdair

Although the majority of Alasdairrsquos focus remains on the Woolston side of town he does talk a fair bit about the city Itrsquos clear he has big hopes for it Hersquos positive of the outcome and knows Christchurch is headed in the right direction

ldquoThe biggest thing we need in town is patience It might not be for a while but it will develop slowly and it will be a good placerdquo

At the end of our interview Alasdair took me along to the Brewery Bar to proudly show off their wood fire kettle He brought it up a few times during our conversation so hersquos clearly proud of it

And it is impressive It took him and his son-in-law six months to build by hand I guess that took his patience too and it must have been worth the wait I hear a Cassels amp Sons pint is damn good wwwthetanneryconz wwwcasselsbreweryconz

Cassels amp Sonsrsquo new Moravek bottling machine has a maximum production rate of 7000 bottles per hour and is capable of bottling over six million litres per year

News |emspMind matters

Mental health days Why worryThe reality is that we work long and hard to do the job wersquove been assigned to do so achieving that worklife balance concept can seem redundant

Sometimes we simply just need a day off to sort ourselves out mentally in order to prevent burnout remain productive and increase our work performance when we return to the job

We often associate days off work with a physical illness but mental wellbeing is generally overlooked Keeping up with everything in life and work can become too much and our brains turn into mush

While a little worry and concern can focus the mind being overly stressed and unhappy isnrsquot good for your health and it isnrsquot good for those around you either Sometimes we (especially workaholics) find it difficult to give ourselves time off work because

We worry about how it might affect other people in the workplace

bull We think we wonrsquot be able to keep up with the workload when we return

bull We worry wersquore missing out

bull We feel guilty or pressured

bull We need the money

bull Or we think we donrsquot need the time off

But if yoursquore physically and emotionally exhausted suffering from sleepless nights feeling constantly stressed snappy at work and home or generally not caring about your work yoursquore on the road to having a meltdown and potentially committing career suicide

Whatrsquos worse working too hard instead of working smart to the best of your ability yet making mistakes - or taking a day off so you can get back to work re-energised and complete tasks to a high standard

While one day off wonrsquot cast away deep underlying stresses and strains it does allow you to step away from the scene of the crime and grab some much needed headspace

If you donrsquot want to eat into your holiday pay ask your boss to take an unpaid half day or full

History is full of poets philosophers and sages espousing the benefits of a positive disposition But it seems scientists disagreeWhy Because it pays to worry a little bit - quite literally

A study published in the Journal of Behavioural Decision Making in 2012 monitored 213 peoplersquos behaviour in relation to a simulated gambling game The study found participants in a sad or worrisome mood were more likely to make logical bets they knew had a higher likelihood of winning even after a series of losses

Whereas positive happy bettors were quicker and more likely to play what they knew was a riskier move Their jovial outlook influenced them to make unpredictable decisions on gut feelings despite the opportunity to play a logical bet

The study shows you are more likely to make winning decisions while you are in an anxious worried state of mind

But these findings donrsquot just apply to gambling The positive effect of this negative feeling translates into the business world In moderation worry can work wonders for your career

Sometimes a negative attitude is actually beneficial trait to have because it allows you to look at a situation in a more realistic light Feeling worried means you are more likely to make a logical decision with a higher outcome of success compared with your cheerful counterpart in the same situation

There is no danger of over promising and under delivering because you are thinking realistically Worry helps to rein in out of this world ideas it also assists with assessing the risks and obstacles in front of you

Worry can be the side effect of a strong desire to achieve perfection And in the pursuit of perfection worry can prompt you to double check and even triple check your work Without worry there is a risk you can become complacent a little too relaxed and more likely to make a mistake

Under a moderate amount of worry you are capable of learning and remembering new information more effectively This is because the primary stress hormone cortisol improves learning and memory at moderate concentrations compared to low or high concentrations

Worry has also been linked to accelerate career promotions and overall success An international study in Perspectives on Psychological Science in 2007 monitored 118519 peoplersquos careers

The study found those who are less happy attain higher salaries and more education while people who are very happy tend to form more rewarding relationships

People who are more susceptible to worry consequently exhibit the following personality traits

PROSbull More attentive to detailbull More motivated to work bull More polite and attentive to othersbull Vigilant for risks and threats

CONS bull Overcautious bull Less creativebull At risk of becoming too stressedbull More closed minded

In comparison worry-free people exhibit these contrasting behaviours

PROSbull More creativebull Form better relationshipsbull Healthierbull Willing to explore

CONSbull Prone to overlooking threats and dangersbull Open to unwise risks bull More gulliblebull Lacking appropriate embarrassment or guilt

By Laura Baker

day off And remember you donrsquot have to tell your co-workers that yoursquore taking a mental health day just that you wonrsquot be available

Whether you intend to be busy carrying out chores around the house exercising enjoying some retail therapy or you intend to do the complete opposite and catch up on sleep for the whole day a mental health day is whatever it means to you to be completely free

Just remember to plan ahead by informing your boss and colleagues of your leave in advance so they can work around it This way you wonrsquot need to worry about how your absence may affect others

And make sure when you take your mental health day work stays at work ndash donrsquot bring it home with you Turn your mobile phone off donrsquot check work related emails and certainly donrsquot take home any paperwork Emergencyrsquos only please

At the end of the day your health is important Provide some relief by paying attention to yourself and live a healthier life

Just remember to plan

ahead by informing your

boss and colleagues of

your leave in advance so

they can work around it

This way you wonrsquot need

Health and safety is paramount for operators involved in the use of elevated work platforms

So when it comes time to validating your competency you want to choose the best training course available

Accessman is New Zealandrsquos leading specialised hire company providing scissor lifts cherry pickers knucklebooms and mobile scaffolding Itrsquos now leading the field as an accredited IPAF training provider to complement the existing Silvercard NZQA training it currently offers

The company launched the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) accredited training programme throughout the South Island in November as one of two companies nationwide to do so

The internationally recognised course was developed by leading industry professionals and is aimed at users of elevated work platforms generally in the construction industry and certifies operators in the machines of their choice IPAF training conforms to the international standard ISO 18878 - Mobile Elevating Work Platforms Operator training and ISO 9001 - Quality Management Systems

The Accessman Group general manager Lena Harrington says health and safety is a priority not only within the company but throughout the industry So when Accessman saw the opportunity to provide the renowned IPAF training programme it jumped at the chance

ldquoI think the marketplace needed an alternative qualification IPAFrsquos rigid testing structure ensures that only competent operators are awarded the

qualification which provides employers with peace of mind that their staff have been thoroughly trained ndash they will not pass unless they are competentrdquo

IPAF training was founded in the UK and today has 600 training outlets worldwide which are responsible for qualifying over 100000 people per year IPAF recognised the Accessman Group had the platform required to release the qualification to the New Zealand market in partnership with Total Access in the North Island

To become an accredited training centre a senior IPAF auditor was brought out from the UK to put Accessmanrsquos training staff through the intensive instructorrsquos course

ldquoObviously our staff had to have a significant amount of experience within the industry before they were eligible to become IPAF instructors some of whom are also qualified to train both IPAF and Silvercard NZQA The training venues also had to meet some fairly stringent requirementsrdquo Lena says

The course is comprised of both practical and theory based learning with assessments The classes are kept small to maximise individual learning and the training centres are regularly audited to ensure they meet and adhere to the IPAF standards Training centres also receive regular updates to ensure that attendees are receiving the best training possible Attendees of IPAF training receive a Powered Access Licence (PAL) card The PAL card is valid for five years and is internationally recognised It can also be instantly verified by anyone via an online database which not only includes a photo of the card holder but details of the card

Five reasons to attend an IPAF training programmeThe PAL card is valid for five yearsThe PAL card is internationally recognisedThe card can be instantly verified via an online databaseExpert training by leading industry professionals in small class sizesOn completion participants receive a PAL card log book and an operator handbook

expiration date and machines the card holder can operate In addition they also receive a log book to record their machine use and an operator handbook

Lena says the PAL card is useful to the large number of contractors from overseas in the city thanks to its international recognition ldquoContractors are coming and going all the time in Christchurch at the moment so it makes sense that they have a qualification that is transferablerdquo In addition all reputable manufacturers of elevated work platforms worldwide are members of IPAF an alignment that strengthens the service the not for profit federation provides

Graeme says another exciting new product is the Securo side roller blind which rolls from side to side rather than up and down like a conventional roller blind

ldquoItrsquos particularly good for ranch sliders where you need some light control and it also doubles as an insect screen The beauty is you can roll it back just enough to get outside while still having your ranch slider open With a conventional roller blind yoursquod have to roll it right up to go through the doorrdquo

Focus | Tekapo Springs

Tekapo Springs is a year-round attraction beloved by visitors from across the globe In early 2015 the resort announced plans to open new multi-million dollar facilities for visitors families and locals to enjoy from late December onwards ndash and itrsquos finally here

New pools take Tekapo Springs to the next level

The new additions include three new pool areas including an aqua playspray area for kids and teens a beach accessed kidsrsquo pool and an adultsrsquo deep water pool

The pools all run at cooler water temperatures of 33 degrees Celsius for the kidsrsquo pool and aqua play area and 28 degrees Celsius for the adultsrsquo pool

Tekapo Springs owner and managing director Karl Burtscher says the aim is to offer a dditional entertaining aquatic options for families children and adults He also says the need to offer a wider temperature range of pool water was important especially during the summer months

Karl explains that the new additions completely open up the resort and create even more

opportunities for guests to gaze upon Lake Tekapo while enjoying the facilities

ldquoYou can now get down to pool level and really appreciate the views from the new adult pool in particular which quite possibly will have the best overall views down Lake Tekapo of any of the pools ndash old and newrdquo

The new pool additions themed lsquoHigh Country Tarnsrsquo each with its own distinctive shade of aqua green ndash were designed to complement the three existing hot pools and are part of Tekapo Springsrsquo long term growth strategy for expanding its aquatic attractions and offering a wider range of water temperatures and features

The new pools will also run through winter depending on outside weather temperatures

Focus | Tekapo Springs

A tight scheduleSince the first sod was turned on September 1 2015 progress was swift and exciting With the new pools taking shape and initial landscaping underway Tekapo Springs staff were thrilled to see dreams become reality

As of November 25 fibre glass spraying and painting of the adultsrsquo pool had been completed with fibre glass spraying commencing on the childrenrsquos cold pool a few days after

Karl says as the pools literally took shape on a daily basis staff could start to get a sense of what they would be delivering to guests

A helping handThe design concept of the pools came from Karl himself and he even completed some of the earth and civil works while co-ordinating the whole project

Although Karl played a major hand in bringing the new additions to life he received a wide slot of help from both local companies and others from around New Zealand

Those involved included H2O Water Systems from Auckland doing the pool plant High Country Carpentry from Fairlie doing all the building and formwork Stephen Styles Block and Brick doing block work Murray Linton Concrete doing concrete laying Reflex Industrial doing fibre glassing and Damon Smith Electrical and Prolec (Professional Electric) from Christchurch doing controls and automation

The perfect spotTekapo Springs is nestled on the shores of stunning Lake Tekapo boasting a unique mix of summer and winter recreation and relaxation

Open 364 days a year the attraction already includes three existing outdoor hot pools a steam and sauna facility an ice rink water slides summer and winter tubing a day spa cafeacute and fully licensed bar

The company has evolved into a year-round ldquomust-dordquo on the bucket list of many visitors to the South Island as well as stamping its mark as an important centrepiece in the Tekapo community

The new pools are a testament to the companyrsquos drive to grow and develop while continuously exceeding customer expectations The three new pools help step-up Tekapo Springsrsquo summer offering and put it among one of the countryrsquos leading tourism operators CT

Finance | Hamilton Hindin Greene

Christchurch businesses are all too familiar with the struggles and obstacles that come with upheaving an office and moving to a new location One local business that understands the struggle all too well is Hamilton Hindin Greene

The investment advisory firm has endured a turbulent and unsettled time since the February 2011 earthquake It has almost consistently been on the move from one premise to the next moving offices five times in the last five years

CEO Ian Perry explains that one day before the earthquake Hamilton Hindin Greene shifted from its office on Hereford Street in the old National Bank building where it had been based for 30 years to the BDO building on Victoria Street When the February quake struck it had just over a day to move everything out of the damaged building but luckily no one was hurt Ian says

In the following chaos it moved to a space above the Dinghyrsquos amp Outboards warehouse on Lincoln Road ldquothen that got knocked downrdquo In 2012 it shifted into a brand new building on Manchester Street called Westende House

ldquoIt was 140 percent up to code and we thought it was going to be our permanent location Then suddenly we got notice when the councilrsquos transport plan was released that the planners had decided they wanted to purchase the building to knock it down and widen the road

ldquoFinally in June 2014 we moved into where we are today at level 1 83 Victoria Street The office is located on the corner of Peterborough Street and hopefully wersquoll never have to move againrdquo

What Hamilton Hindin Greene can do for you Hamilton Hindin Greene is a boutique personalised and specialist investment advisory service It has evolved from solely operating as a share broker when it was established almost a century ago to the diverse investment advisory firm it is today

ldquoWe are no longer the traditional share broker who just deals in New Zealand shares We are investment advisors who use a diversified approach to investing in local and international shares and bonds to provide investment solutions to a range of peoplerdquo

Clients are paired with a personal advisor who takes them through the investment planning process to develop a risk profile for the particular objectives they want to achieve

The advisor then builds a bespoke profile using local Australian and international shares ldquoWe help them to select the right mix of good quality companies so over the long term theyrsquoll make an appropriate return for the risk they want to takerdquo

The advisor oversees the day to day running of clients portfolios and provides advice on potential outcomes of their investments ldquoOur advice is always customised to that particular individuals needsrdquo CT

The organ is the grandest of instruments Itrsquos been referred to as the closest to heaven instrument on earth with a sound thatrsquos powerful rich and deeply moving

Restoring heritage pieces to their former glory

Keeping such instruments in pristine working order is a highly specialised craft One company that has these skills in such a niche field is the South Island Organ Company (SIOC) based in Timaru

Established in 1968 SIOC has been in continuous operation now for nearly 50 years The company offers tuning and maintenance of organs historic restorations and artistic rebuilds as well as new organ builds throughout New Zealand and overseas They are widely recognised as one of the leading firms specialising in pipe organ restoration and rebuilding

The SIOC has worked on literally hundreds of organs Some of the projects have been very large and complex such as their current restoration of Wellingtonrsquos fabulous 1906 Town Hall organ In 1997 at St Patrickrsquos Basilica Fremantle they rebuilt the largest church organ in Australia In 2008 they rebuilt the organ in UWArsquos Winthrop Hall and in 2010 the interconnected organs of St Maryrsquos Cathedral both in the city of Perth

Back in New Zealand a very special project completed late last year was the rebuild of the historic organ of Knox Presbyterian Church in Christchurch after both church and organ were badly damaged in the 201011 earthquakes

SIOCrsquos 12 man team reconstructed the original organ added some more pipes and a digital transmission to facilitate the mobilised and

ldquoEverything we do is quality old-fashioned craftsmanship made to last or to be restored We are not in the throw away utility market but in the heritage market creating one-off pieces that are going to become art works of the futurerdquo CT

adapted 1914 console in accordance with the Churchrsquos stated mission to provide a flexible concert space in the inner city

This project is a clear example of the way SIOC can incorporate leading-edge technology such as computerised digital playing aids and playback systems into organ restorations and rebuilds without compromising heritage

There is however another aspect to the work of the SIOC which may seem unrelated ndash but actually there is a connection The company can also restore precious antique furniture and create new custom joinery

This side of the operation is led by Zack Bennett a specialist in antique furniture restoration in carving and in sculpture as well as in the design and manufacture of customised joinery Zack is about to direct restoration of the historic 19th century reredos in St Saviourrsquos church in Lyttelton ndash a highly intricate project involving earthquake damaged timber and ceramic tiles So diversification is definitely the name of the game for the SIOC

An ever increasing social conscience about energy use and the effect it has on our environment is causing companies like Solar Bright to look into alternative options Using solar power technology the Christchurch-based team is making leaps and bounds with energy-generating products which are spreading throughout the city and beyond

You may recognise Solar Bright as the company behind the solar-powered table in the city centrersquos ReStart mall which visitors could use to charge their mobile devices that were running low

The table which was on loan to the council has now been relocated to a new home at Burnside High School Being the largest school in the South Island the team at Solar Bright donated the table to the school knowing they would get good use out of it

It seems the team at Solar Bright has not stopped since then They have created and installed five more tables that are dotted around the city have had interest from North Canterbury and Auckland City Council for similar products and have even installed a solar shelter in Linwood for people to charge their devices in

Managing director Nicola Martin explains that the hunger for electricity is growing dramatically and solar energy provides an effective solution

ldquoItrsquos just using what naturersquos already given us Itrsquos a renewable source of energy and means not having to rely solely on electricityrdquo

At the moment Solar Bright is also trialling the charging tables at the McDonaldrsquos restaurants on Moorhouse Ave and in Sydenham The idea is to see how the technology will work indoors and what kind of savings the chains will make on electricity bills as customers are increasingly using power points in store to charge their devices with

Nicola explained that these solar powered charging outlets are a great solution to electricity blackouts If power were ever cut from the city again people would have places like the tables and shelters to use to make sure their mobiles and devices stay on the green light making sure communication methods are protected during emergencies

But charging mobile phones and tablets ar e not the only good ideas Solar Bright has In 2012 Nicolarsquos husband and inventor of their products

Pat Martin realised the need for the detection of frost on roads and came up with PATeye technology

It is again solar powered via the sun and headlights from cars during the night and works the same sort of way that cats eyes currently do on roads around the world

With PATeye the devices installed on roads will flash blue LED lights when the air temperature reaches a certain level to warn people of the potential dangers of slipping

Due to regulations around the world it may take a little while for Solar Bright to weave through the legislation of installing the device on public roads but for now they are rolling out PATeyes on private roads car parks and pathways

Lincoln University Kiwi Rail Dunedin City Council Christchurch Polytechnic and even private NHS roads in the UK are just some of the institutions already using the technology

Solar Bright won two awards at this yearrsquos Champion Canterbury Awards for the Champion Producer Manufacturer as a small enterprise and the CDC Innovation Award for its ldquoinnovative sustainable energy-efficient lighting solutions which enhance safety and lifestyle both domestically and internationallyrdquo CT

Interior design is no longer a stand-alone field it blends seamlessly into so many other areas of life setting the scene for a larger picture incorporating art retail and fine foods

The art of interior designInterior designer and co-owner of Frobisher Interiors Ann-Marie Appleton saw the opportunity to bring together these complementing crafts into one location and create an entirely new interior design experience in Christchurch She and her team at Frobisher Interiors proudly opened the innovative new store on Manchester Street a year ago

The completely modern take on the store is unlike anything around ldquoWe are the only interior design business in the city that encompasses everything that interior design is about in one building Wersquove gone far beyond what is traditionally expected from an interior design shoprdquo

The blended retail space offers everything and anything you might need ldquoThe draw card initially for customers especially for people who donrsquot know us as interior designers is the coffee shop and meeting space From there they can see beyond into the retail space which is adorned with beautiful little gifts and lovely things to buy for the home to larger items such as furniture and our interior design servicerdquo

Frobisher Interiors previously operated from a small villa in Merivale which was too small for

its needs The villa only just housed the team of staff restricted the number of samples on display and failed to properly showcase its work

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Designed to handle any load

cab chassis ldquoWe used to make the floor of a tipdeck to 6mm but with Hardox we can make them out of 4mm steel which makes a big difference to the weightrdquo

Quick turn around If you need a tipper body fast at a competitive rate Brokenshire Engineering is the team to call It has truck bodies in stock right now that can be custom-painted and fitted to a truck within two weeks But if you canrsquot find the right body in stock Brokenshire can custom-build paint install the pump oil tank and gas controls and fit it to the truck for just $45000 plus GST

Unparalleled products Brokenshirersquos ability to design and built anything for truck and trailers is unparalleled It builds new semi-tipper truck bodies and is the only business in the country that makes smooth surfaced runner-less tipper bodies

ldquoWe are the only people who make runner-less tipper bodies Most tipper bodies have got channels on them we donrsquot use channels This is the latest European designrdquo

It can also convert hydraulic truck breaks to an air break system and has three and five tonne full air axels on air suspension or springs available Henry has been in the transport engineering industry for 50 years and he says this experience in the industry means he can take on the difficult jobs that other people donrsquot want to CT

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

News |emspCover story

The man himself is probably just as iconic as his business ventures during the past few years specifically his boutique shopping arcade The Tannery and the Cassels amp Sons Brewery which he co-owns with his son Zak and son-in-law Joe Shanks

The Cassels family has contributed a lot to the economy of the city with various businesses sprawled throughout Alasdair co-owns the CBD Bar on Madras St as well as the brewery and shopping centre and has recently been working on a project to clean up the Heathcote River

The river itself is something Alasdair seems to dote on Itrsquos partly why he bought the site that The Tannery sits on way back in 1994

ldquoIt told a story straight away of Christchurch in its early days because Christchurch was really settled on the banks of the Heathcoterdquo Alasdair explains

Read anything about Alasdair in the paper or online and yoursquoll probably hear about the Heathcote and Christchurchrsquos early days He canrsquot help but let his passion for the city show Itrsquos understandable though ndash he seems to have known nothing but success in Christchurch

I first met Alasdair on a drizzly spring morning I had met him in the atrium of The Tannery to talk about the site and the shape of the city in general (who else to talk to about the city but a lover of it) but our conversation drifted more towards another of his passions craft beer

He has been making his own beer at home for years and even taught his children how to do it so of course he has set up his own brewery

The Cassels amp Sons Brewery was officially established in 2009 and started out exactly where it sits now in The Brewery bar of The Tannery It got off to a shaky start with the earthquakes following two years after it opened but that didnrsquot knock their confidence

for long In fact the craft beer industry in New Zealand as a whole is booming right now

According to the ANZ New Zealand Craft Beer Industry Insights 2015 report craft beer sales have increased 42 percent in the last year alone Beer exports to Asia have also doubled in the last two years with the Asian market potential being 750 times the size of New Zealand so it would seem now is the time to export

When we spoke Cassels amp Sons didnrsquot yet have the capacity to export due to hand bottling each beer and predominantly using kegs for draft beer or bottles sold at local markets to sell their product But things are very quickly about to change

The Brewery is situated at the entrance of The Tannery and houses their public bar kitchen and hand-built wood fire kettle which they used to brew their first batch of pilsner (itrsquos one of only two in the world according to Alasdair)

If you take a stroll to the bottom end of The Tannery car park you will come across a second building ndash one of Cassels amp Sonsrsquo bigger breweries - itrsquos here that big changes are about to be made

The brewery has just acquired a bottling plant they imported from Czech Republic It is the biggest bottling machine in the craft beer industry in New Zealand and should be up and running in February

The potential this $1m machine carries for Cassels amp Sons is huge The machine a Moravek 21244 Tribloc has a maximum production rate of 7000 bottles per hour and is capable of bottling over six million litres per year which more than out does the current hand-bottling methods of the brewery

ldquoBeer is easier to make and serve in a bar Once you start bottling it itrsquos got to be really technically made otherwise on the way to

market the flavour goes the bubbles go The more sophisticated the machine is the better chance yoursquove got of getting it to market so exporting and everything else becomes an optionrdquo explains Alasdair

He has hopes of bottling other breweriesrsquo beers too ndash another way of giving back to the community

When I met Alasdair in The Tannery he was sat with two other gentlemen clearly well at home in the Victorian-arcade inspired centre surrounded by his friends

We eventually shifted into the corner of a coffee shop to chat Something I didnrsquot realise at the time but quickly caught on to was just how popular Alasdair is Even later when we were taking pictures in the atrium people continuously made jokes with him tried to have a chat and just generally looked his way

Whether thatrsquos because he literally owns the place or because people have so much respect for him Irsquom not sure but even just spending an hour with him I can understand the pull he has

The Tannery is buzzing with business and visitors Itrsquos a really positive place to be

The centre didnrsquot really come to life until after the earthquakes because as Alasdair tells me for one reason or another before then he had struggled to get planning permission from the city council to do anything with the site It wasnrsquot until after the earthquakes that The Tannery began to transform into what it is today

ldquoIt was an absolute tragedy and all of us were shockedrdquo says Alasdair ldquoBut amongst all that was a sense of excitement There really was a sense of being able to do somethingrdquo

He explains that when the city centre was shut down in the aftermath a lot of boutique family-run businesses needed a new place to settle and The Tannery offered them the perfect spot ldquoIt was safety in numbers so dozens of them came hererdquo

The building itself had to be re-built but it meant that Alasdair was able to turn his dreams for the Woolston community into a reality

ldquoI wanted something that was peaceful and uplifting when you walked into it I wanted to make people feel better about things and also give them a chance to escape from the city or from at that stage the beaten up city

ldquoI wanted to create a fantasy and fairytale place which wasnrsquot as hard as it seemsrdquo

Although it took a few years to really get the centre and the businesses it housed off the ground the $20m project now has 65

happy tenants meaning all leases are under occupation A few more expansions are even in the works with Alice in Videoland building a two-screen cinema at the south end of the atrium with the Metropolitan Lounge going above it (a conference centre art gallery)

The news came late last year that Alasdair was planning on selling 45 percent of his shares for The Tannery in an aim to earn back some of the well-spent money he has dedicated to it

He is planning on channelling the money into other projects around Woolston but he is keeping the details under lock and key for now At this point in time itrsquos early days but Alasdair is confident that his shares will sell pretty easily so he can start making tracks on his next plan

He has big hopes for the city overall not just his little corner of it by the Heathcote river

ldquoIn the 50s and 60s Christchurch was a big capital of the South Island We had head offices bigger government departments and big banks here

ldquoNew Zealand went through an economic reform in the 80s and what happened then was head offices and bigger government departments were taken away from Christchurch and went to Auckland and Wellington so we shrunk and the need for a big city shrunk and we were only left with a few parts of town that really were used properly

ldquoCities like to be compact they like to be dense so they work better when therersquos lots of people and things to do and I think this new plan wersquove got will solve that problemrdquo explains Alasdair

Although the majority of Alasdairrsquos focus remains on the Woolston side of town he does talk a fair bit about the city Itrsquos clear he has big hopes for it Hersquos positive of the outcome and knows Christchurch is headed in the right direction

ldquoThe biggest thing we need in town is patience It might not be for a while but it will develop slowly and it will be a good placerdquo

At the end of our interview Alasdair took me along to the Brewery Bar to proudly show off their wood fire kettle He brought it up a few times during our conversation so hersquos clearly proud of it

And it is impressive It took him and his son-in-law six months to build by hand I guess that took his patience too and it must have been worth the wait I hear a Cassels amp Sons pint is damn good wwwthetanneryconz wwwcasselsbreweryconz

Cassels amp Sonsrsquo new Moravek bottling machine has a maximum production rate of 7000 bottles per hour and is capable of bottling over six million litres per year

News |emspMind matters

Mental health days Why worryThe reality is that we work long and hard to do the job wersquove been assigned to do so achieving that worklife balance concept can seem redundant

Sometimes we simply just need a day off to sort ourselves out mentally in order to prevent burnout remain productive and increase our work performance when we return to the job

We often associate days off work with a physical illness but mental wellbeing is generally overlooked Keeping up with everything in life and work can become too much and our brains turn into mush

While a little worry and concern can focus the mind being overly stressed and unhappy isnrsquot good for your health and it isnrsquot good for those around you either Sometimes we (especially workaholics) find it difficult to give ourselves time off work because

We worry about how it might affect other people in the workplace

bull We think we wonrsquot be able to keep up with the workload when we return

bull We worry wersquore missing out

bull We feel guilty or pressured

bull We need the money

bull Or we think we donrsquot need the time off

But if yoursquore physically and emotionally exhausted suffering from sleepless nights feeling constantly stressed snappy at work and home or generally not caring about your work yoursquore on the road to having a meltdown and potentially committing career suicide

Whatrsquos worse working too hard instead of working smart to the best of your ability yet making mistakes - or taking a day off so you can get back to work re-energised and complete tasks to a high standard

While one day off wonrsquot cast away deep underlying stresses and strains it does allow you to step away from the scene of the crime and grab some much needed headspace

If you donrsquot want to eat into your holiday pay ask your boss to take an unpaid half day or full

History is full of poets philosophers and sages espousing the benefits of a positive disposition But it seems scientists disagreeWhy Because it pays to worry a little bit - quite literally

A study published in the Journal of Behavioural Decision Making in 2012 monitored 213 peoplersquos behaviour in relation to a simulated gambling game The study found participants in a sad or worrisome mood were more likely to make logical bets they knew had a higher likelihood of winning even after a series of losses

Whereas positive happy bettors were quicker and more likely to play what they knew was a riskier move Their jovial outlook influenced them to make unpredictable decisions on gut feelings despite the opportunity to play a logical bet

The study shows you are more likely to make winning decisions while you are in an anxious worried state of mind

But these findings donrsquot just apply to gambling The positive effect of this negative feeling translates into the business world In moderation worry can work wonders for your career

Sometimes a negative attitude is actually beneficial trait to have because it allows you to look at a situation in a more realistic light Feeling worried means you are more likely to make a logical decision with a higher outcome of success compared with your cheerful counterpart in the same situation

There is no danger of over promising and under delivering because you are thinking realistically Worry helps to rein in out of this world ideas it also assists with assessing the risks and obstacles in front of you

Worry can be the side effect of a strong desire to achieve perfection And in the pursuit of perfection worry can prompt you to double check and even triple check your work Without worry there is a risk you can become complacent a little too relaxed and more likely to make a mistake

Under a moderate amount of worry you are capable of learning and remembering new information more effectively This is because the primary stress hormone cortisol improves learning and memory at moderate concentrations compared to low or high concentrations

Worry has also been linked to accelerate career promotions and overall success An international study in Perspectives on Psychological Science in 2007 monitored 118519 peoplersquos careers

The study found those who are less happy attain higher salaries and more education while people who are very happy tend to form more rewarding relationships

People who are more susceptible to worry consequently exhibit the following personality traits

PROSbull More attentive to detailbull More motivated to work bull More polite and attentive to othersbull Vigilant for risks and threats

CONS bull Overcautious bull Less creativebull At risk of becoming too stressedbull More closed minded

In comparison worry-free people exhibit these contrasting behaviours

PROSbull More creativebull Form better relationshipsbull Healthierbull Willing to explore

CONSbull Prone to overlooking threats and dangersbull Open to unwise risks bull More gulliblebull Lacking appropriate embarrassment or guilt

By Laura Baker

day off And remember you donrsquot have to tell your co-workers that yoursquore taking a mental health day just that you wonrsquot be available

Whether you intend to be busy carrying out chores around the house exercising enjoying some retail therapy or you intend to do the complete opposite and catch up on sleep for the whole day a mental health day is whatever it means to you to be completely free

Just remember to plan ahead by informing your boss and colleagues of your leave in advance so they can work around it This way you wonrsquot need to worry about how your absence may affect others

And make sure when you take your mental health day work stays at work ndash donrsquot bring it home with you Turn your mobile phone off donrsquot check work related emails and certainly donrsquot take home any paperwork Emergencyrsquos only please

At the end of the day your health is important Provide some relief by paying attention to yourself and live a healthier life

Health and safety is paramount for operators involved in the use of elevated work platforms

So when it comes time to validating your competency you want to choose the best training course available

Accessman is New Zealandrsquos leading specialised hire company providing scissor lifts cherry pickers knucklebooms and mobile scaffolding Itrsquos now leading the field as an accredited IPAF training provider to complement the existing Silvercard NZQA training it currently offers

The company launched the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) accredited training programme throughout the South Island in November as one of two companies nationwide to do so

The internationally recognised course was developed by leading industry professionals and is aimed at users of elevated work platforms generally in the construction industry and certifies operators in the machines of their choice IPAF training conforms to the international standard ISO 18878 - Mobile Elevating Work Platforms Operator training and ISO 9001 - Quality Management Systems

The Accessman Group general manager Lena Harrington says health and safety is a priority not only within the company but throughout the industry So when Accessman saw the opportunity to provide the renowned IPAF training programme it jumped at the chance

ldquoI think the marketplace needed an alternative qualification IPAFrsquos rigid testing structure ensures that only competent operators are awarded the

qualification which provides employers with peace of mind that their staff have been thoroughly trained ndash they will not pass unless they are competentrdquo

IPAF training was founded in the UK and today has 600 training outlets worldwide which are responsible for qualifying over 100000 people per year IPAF recognised the Accessman Group had the platform required to release the qualification to the New Zealand market in partnership with Total Access in the North Island

To become an accredited training centre a senior IPAF auditor was brought out from the UK to put Accessmanrsquos training staff through the intensive instructorrsquos course

ldquoObviously our staff had to have a significant amount of experience within the industry before they were eligible to become IPAF instructors some of whom are also qualified to train both IPAF and Silvercard NZQA The training venues also had to meet some fairly stringent requirementsrdquo Lena says

The course is comprised of both practical and theory based learning with assessments The classes are kept small to maximise individual learning and the training centres are regularly audited to ensure they meet and adhere to the IPAF standards Training centres also receive regular updates to ensure that attendees are receiving the best training possible Attendees of IPAF training receive a Powered Access Licence (PAL) card The PAL card is valid for five years and is internationally recognised It can also be instantly verified by anyone via an online database which not only includes a photo of the card holder but details of the card

Five reasons to attend an IPAF training programmeThe PAL card is valid for five yearsThe PAL card is internationally recognisedThe card can be instantly verified via an online databaseExpert training by leading industry professionals in small class sizesOn completion participants receive a PAL card log book and an operator handbook

expiration date and machines the card holder can operate In addition they also receive a log book to record their machine use and an operator handbook

Lena says the PAL card is useful to the large number of contractors from overseas in the city thanks to its international recognition ldquoContractors are coming and going all the time in Christchurch at the moment so it makes sense that they have a qualification that is transferablerdquo In addition all reputable manufacturers of elevated work platforms worldwide are members of IPAF an alignment that strengthens the service the not for profit federation provides

Take a trial flight at the South Canterbury Aero Club and see if you donrsquot become addicted

The South Canterbury Aero Club offers a superb environment and location for people to learn to fly whatever their reason for doing this may be Perhaps they are looking for a career in aviation or wish only to fly for recreation either way the South Canterbury Aero Club can cater for all needs from new students right through to commercial pilot training and beyond

The club operates from Timarursquos Richard Pearse airport a spectacular setting within easy flying

The club has a rich history in New Zealandrsquos aviation training and participation Flight training first began in South Canterbury in 1930 at Washdyke and then moved to the Saltwater Creek in 1932 In November 1946 the South Canterbury Aero Club was incorporated and moved to its present site at the Timaru Airport in 1953 For more details of the history of aviation in South Canterbury have a look at the book Wings over South Canterbury by D E Drake

Today the club is staffed by highly professional qualified people who all spend many hours each year upskilling themselves through further training Your safety is ensured every time you lift off with the experience and knowledge found in their cockpits

The club has three aircraft in its fleet Its two Piper Tomahawks are primarily used for flight training while the Piper Archer a four seater cross country aircraft is used for the clubrsquos commercial sightseeing operations

Proudly Supporting Window Treatments for over 10 Years

As New Zealandrsquos largest independently owned blind shutter awning and insect screen manufacturing and retail company Window Treatments offer products that follow the latest international trends

The company has retail stores and mobile showrooms throughout the country including nine across the South Island

It has an exciting range of new products available for the summer season including exterior awnings that are designed for longevity in harsh coastal environments

Owner Graeme Rose says the Palladio cassetted folding arm awning is a new generation awning ideal for home patios shops and kiosks offering unobstructed passage underneath It is made from aluminium marine-grade stainless steel fittings and fabrics designed for the outdoors

ldquoPalladio is fully cassetted so it protects the fabric when the awning is retractedrdquo he says

ldquoIt can cover everything up to seven metres in width and a projection of up to 36 metres Itrsquos very large and is ideal for creating that indoor-outdoor environment where you want sun or wind protectionrdquo

Other new awnings from Window Treatments include the Italia box radial arm awning which is ideal for both residential and commercial installations and the Terrazza pergola awning

Graeme says another exciting new product is the Securo side roller blind which rolls from side to side rather than up and down like a conventional roller blind

ldquoItrsquos particularly good for ranch sliders where you need some light control and it also doubles as an insect screen The beauty is you can roll it back just enough to get outside while still having your ranch slider open With a conventional roller blind yoursquod have to roll it right up to go through the doorrdquo

Interior shutters have become a popular choice for their functionality and good looks

Focus | Tekapo Springs

Tekapo Springs is a year-round attraction beloved by visitors from across the globe In early 2015 the resort announced plans to open new multi-million dollar facilities for visitors families and locals to enjoy from late December onwards ndash and itrsquos finally here

New pools take Tekapo Springs to the next level

The new additions include three new pool areas including an aqua playspray area for kids and teens a beach accessed kidsrsquo pool and an adultsrsquo deep water pool

The pools all run at cooler water temperatures of 33 degrees Celsius for the kidsrsquo pool and aqua play area and 28 degrees Celsius for the adultsrsquo pool

Tekapo Springs owner and managing director Karl Burtscher says the aim is to offer a dditional entertaining aquatic options for families children and adults He also says the need to offer a wider temperature range of pool water was important especially during the summer months

Karl explains that the new additions completely open up the resort and create even more

opportunities for guests to gaze upon Lake Tekapo while enjoying the facilities

ldquoYou can now get down to pool level and really appreciate the views from the new adult pool in particular which quite possibly will have the best overall views down Lake Tekapo of any of the pools ndash old and newrdquo

The new pool additions themed lsquoHigh Country Tarnsrsquo each with its own distinctive shade of aqua green ndash were designed to complement the three existing hot pools and are part of Tekapo Springsrsquo long term growth strategy for expanding its aquatic attractions and offering a wider range of water temperatures and features

The new pools will also run through winter depending on outside weather temperatures

Focus | Tekapo Springs

A tight scheduleSince the first sod was turned on September 1 2015 progress was swift and exciting With the new pools taking shape and initial landscaping underway Tekapo Springs staff were thrilled to see dreams become reality

As of November 25 fibre glass spraying and painting of the adultsrsquo pool had been completed with fibre glass spraying commencing on the childrenrsquos cold pool a few days after

Karl says as the pools literally took shape on a daily basis staff could start to get a sense of what they would be delivering to guests

A helping handThe design concept of the pools came from Karl himself and he even completed some of the earth and civil works while co-ordinating the whole project

Although Karl played a major hand in bringing the new additions to life he received a wide slot of help from both local companies and others from around New Zealand

Those involved included H2O Water Systems from Auckland doing the pool plant High Country Carpentry from Fairlie doing all the building and formwork Stephen Styles Block and Brick doing block work Murray Linton Concrete doing concrete laying Reflex Industrial doing fibre glassing and Damon Smith Electrical and Prolec (Professional Electric) from Christchurch doing controls and automation

The perfect spotTekapo Springs is nestled on the shores of stunning Lake Tekapo boasting a unique mix of summer and winter recreation and relaxation

Open 364 days a year the attraction already includes three existing outdoor hot pools a steam and sauna facility an ice rink water slides summer and winter tubing a day spa cafeacute and fully licensed bar

The company has evolved into a year-round ldquomust-dordquo on the bucket list of many visitors to the South Island as well as stamping its mark as an important centrepiece in the Tekapo community

The new pools are a testament to the companyrsquos drive to grow and develop while continuously exceeding customer expectations The three new pools help step-up Tekapo Springsrsquo summer offering and put it among one of the countryrsquos leading tourism operators CT

Finance | Hamilton Hindin Greene

Christchurch businesses are all too familiar with the struggles and obstacles that come with upheaving an office and moving to a new location One local business that understands the struggle all too well is Hamilton Hindin Greene

The investment advisory firm has endured a turbulent and unsettled time since the February 2011 earthquake It has almost consistently been on the move from one premise to the next moving offices five times in the last five years

CEO Ian Perry explains that one day before the earthquake Hamilton Hindin Greene shifted from its office on Hereford Street in the old National Bank building where it had been based for 30 years to the BDO building on Victoria Street When the February quake struck it had just over a day to move everything out of the damaged building but luckily no one was hurt Ian says

In the following chaos it moved to a space above the Dinghyrsquos amp Outboards warehouse on Lincoln Road ldquothen that got knocked downrdquo In 2012 it shifted into a brand new building on Manchester Street called Westende House

ldquoIt was 140 percent up to code and we thought it was going to be our permanent location Then suddenly we got notice when the councilrsquos transport plan was released that the planners had decided they wanted to purchase the building to knock it down and widen the road

ldquoFinally in June 2014 we moved into where we are today at level 1 83 Victoria Street The office is located on the corner of Peterborough Street and hopefully wersquoll never have to move againrdquo

What Hamilton Hindin Greene can do for you Hamilton Hindin Greene is a boutique personalised and specialist investment advisory service It has evolved from solely operating as a share broker when it was established almost a century ago to the diverse investment advisory firm it is today

ldquoWe are no longer the traditional share broker who just deals in New Zealand shares We are investment advisors who use a diversified approach to investing in local and international shares and bonds to provide investment solutions to a range of peoplerdquo

Clients are paired with a personal advisor who takes them through the investment planning process to develop a risk profile for the particular objectives they want to achieve

The advisor then builds a bespoke profile using local Australian and international shares ldquoWe help them to select the right mix of good quality companies so over the long term theyrsquoll make an appropriate return for the risk they want to takerdquo

The advisor oversees the day to day running of clients portfolios and provides advice on potential outcomes of their investments ldquoOur advice is always customised to that particular individuals needsrdquo CT

The organ is the grandest of instruments Itrsquos been referred to as the closest to heaven instrument on earth with a sound thatrsquos powerful rich and deeply moving

Restoring heritage pieces to their former glory

Keeping such instruments in pristine working order is a highly specialised craft One company that has these skills in such a niche field is the South Island Organ Company (SIOC) based in Timaru

Established in 1968 SIOC has been in continuous operation now for nearly 50 years The company offers tuning and maintenance of organs historic restorations and artistic rebuilds as well as new organ builds throughout New Zealand and overseas They are widely recognised as one of the leading firms specialising in pipe organ restoration and rebuilding

The SIOC has worked on literally hundreds of organs Some of the projects have been very large and complex such as their current restoration of Wellingtonrsquos fabulous 1906 Town Hall organ In 1997 at St Patrickrsquos Basilica Fremantle they rebuilt the largest church organ in Australia In 2008 they rebuilt the organ in UWArsquos Winthrop Hall and in 2010 the interconnected organs of St Maryrsquos Cathedral both in the city of Perth

Back in New Zealand a very special project completed late last year was the rebuild of the historic organ of Knox Presbyterian Church in Christchurch after both church and organ were badly damaged in the 201011 earthquakes

SIOCrsquos 12 man team reconstructed the original organ added some more pipes and a digital transmission to facilitate the mobilised and

ldquoEverything we do is quality old-fashioned craftsmanship made to last or to be restored We are not in the throw away utility market but in the heritage market creating one-off pieces that are going to become art works of the futurerdquo CT

adapted 1914 console in accordance with the Churchrsquos stated mission to provide a flexible concert space in the inner city

This project is a clear example of the way SIOC can incorporate leading-edge technology such as computerised digital playing aids and playback systems into organ restorations and rebuilds without compromising heritage

There is however another aspect to the work of the SIOC which may seem unrelated ndash but actually there is a connection The company can also restore precious antique furniture and create new custom joinery

This side of the operation is led by Zack Bennett a specialist in antique furniture restoration in carving and in sculpture as well as in the design and manufacture of customised joinery Zack is about to direct restoration of the historic 19th century reredos in St Saviourrsquos church in Lyttelton ndash a highly intricate project involving earthquake damaged timber and ceramic tiles So diversification is definitely the name of the game for the SIOC

An ever increasing social conscience about energy use and the effect it has on our environment is causing companies like Solar Bright to look into alternative options Using solar power technology the Christchurch-based team is making leaps and bounds with energy-generating products which are spreading throughout the city and beyond

You may recognise Solar Bright as the company behind the solar-powered table in the city centrersquos ReStart mall which visitors could use to charge their mobile devices that were running low

The table which was on loan to the council has now been relocated to a new home at Burnside High School Being the largest school in the South Island the team at Solar Bright donated the table to the school knowing they would get good use out of it

It seems the team at Solar Bright has not stopped since then They have created and installed five more tables that are dotted around the city have had interest from North Canterbury and Auckland City Council for similar products and have even installed a solar shelter in Linwood for people to charge their devices in

Managing director Nicola Martin explains that the hunger for electricity is growing dramatically and solar energy provides an effective solution

ldquoItrsquos just using what naturersquos already given us Itrsquos a renewable source of energy and means not having to rely solely on electricityrdquo

At the moment Solar Bright is also trialling the charging tables at the McDonaldrsquos restaurants on Moorhouse Ave and in Sydenham The idea is to see how the technology will work indoors and what kind of savings the chains will make on electricity bills as customers are increasingly using power points in store to charge their devices with

Nicola explained that these solar powered charging outlets are a great solution to electricity blackouts If power were ever cut from the city again people would have places like the tables and shelters to use to make sure their mobiles and devices stay on the green light making sure communication methods are protected during emergencies

But charging mobile phones and tablets ar e not the only good ideas Solar Bright has In 2012 Nicolarsquos husband and inventor of their products

Pat Martin realised the need for the detection of frost on roads and came up with PATeye technology

It is again solar powered via the sun and headlights from cars during the night and works the same sort of way that cats eyes currently do on roads around the world

With PATeye the devices installed on roads will flash blue LED lights when the air temperature reaches a certain level to warn people of the potential dangers of slipping

Due to regulations around the world it may take a little while for Solar Bright to weave through the legislation of installing the device on public roads but for now they are rolling out PATeyes on private roads car parks and pathways

Lincoln University Kiwi Rail Dunedin City Council Christchurch Polytechnic and even private NHS roads in the UK are just some of the institutions already using the technology

Solar Bright won two awards at this yearrsquos Champion Canterbury Awards for the Champion Producer Manufacturer as a small enterprise and the CDC Innovation Award for its ldquoinnovative sustainable energy-efficient lighting solutions which enhance safety and lifestyle both domestically and internationallyrdquo CT

Interior design is no longer a stand-alone field it blends seamlessly into so many other areas of life setting the scene for a larger picture incorporating art retail and fine foods

The art of interior designInterior designer and co-owner of Frobisher Interiors Ann-Marie Appleton saw the opportunity to bring together these complementing crafts into one location and create an entirely new interior design experience in Christchurch She and her team at Frobisher Interiors proudly opened the innovative new store on Manchester Street a year ago

The completely modern take on the store is unlike anything around ldquoWe are the only interior design business in the city that encompasses everything that interior design is about in one building Wersquove gone far beyond what is traditionally expected from an interior design shoprdquo

The industry leading store is a complete interior design shopping experience beautifully flowing uninterrupted from a coffee shop meeting space retail store fabric samples area to art gallery

The blended retail space offers everything and anything you might need ldquoThe draw card initially for customers especially for people who donrsquot know us as interior designers is the coffee shop and meeting space From there they can see beyond into the retail space which is adorned with beautiful little gifts and lovely things to buy for the home to larger items such as furniture and our interior design servicerdquo

Frobisher Interiors previously operated from a small villa in Merivale which was too small for

its needs The villa only just housed the team of staff restricted the number of samples on display and failed to properly showcase its work

When it came time to look for bigger premises it was a case of lsquogo big or go homersquo Ann-Marie says they looked at the big picture and made a massive wish list of everything they wanted in the new location then set to work making it a reality

Earthquake repairs almost completedFerrymead operations manager Kim Dunkley says while the park suffered a big hit in the Christchurch earthquakes most of the damaged buildings are now repaired and reopened including the railway station Cobb cottage the tobacconist barber shop the kiosk with a detailed model of Ferrymead Village and the stables The Model Railway Society also reopened its buildings recently

ldquoItrsquos been difficult since the earthquakes particularly since wersquore in the eastern part of Christchurchrdquo Kim says ldquoThere are still more earthquake repairs to be donerdquo

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Designed to handle any load

cab chassis ldquoWe used to make the floor of a tipdeck to 6mm but with Hardox we can make them out of 4mm steel which makes a big difference to the weightrdquo

Quick turn around If you need a tipper body fast at a competitive rate Brokenshire Engineering is the team to call It has truck bodies in stock right now that can be custom-painted and fitted to a truck within two weeks But if you canrsquot find the right body in stock Brokenshire can custom-build paint install the pump oil tank and gas controls and fit it to the truck for just $45000 plus GST

Unparalleled products Brokenshirersquos ability to design and built anything for truck and trailers is unparalleled It builds new semi-tipper truck bodies and is the only business in the country that makes smooth surfaced runner-less tipper bodies

ldquoWe are the only people who make runner-less tipper bodies Most tipper bodies have got channels on them we donrsquot use channels This is the latest European designrdquo

It can also convert hydraulic truck breaks to an air break system and has three and five tonne full air axels on air suspension or springs available Henry has been in the transport engineering industry for 50 years and he says this experience in the industry means he can take on the difficult jobs that other people donrsquot want to CT

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

ldquoMost windows in the early days of the company were single glazed Today they are double glazed

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

News |emspMind matters

Mental health days Why worryThe reality is that we work long and hard to do the job wersquove been assigned to do so achieving that worklife balance concept can seem redundant

Sometimes we simply just need a day off to sort ourselves out mentally in order to prevent burnout remain productive and increase our work performance when we return to the job

We often associate days off work with a physical illness but mental wellbeing is generally overlooked Keeping up with everything in life and work can become too much and our brains turn into mush

While a little worry and concern can focus the mind being overly stressed and unhappy isnrsquot good for your health and it isnrsquot good for those around you either Sometimes we (especially workaholics) find it difficult to give ourselves time off work because

We worry about how it might affect other people in the workplace

bull We think we wonrsquot be able to keep up with the workload when we return

bull We worry wersquore missing out

bull We feel guilty or pressured

bull We need the money

bull Or we think we donrsquot need the time off

But if yoursquore physically and emotionally exhausted suffering from sleepless nights feeling constantly stressed snappy at work and home or generally not caring about your work yoursquore on the road to having a meltdown and potentially committing career suicide

Whatrsquos worse working too hard instead of working smart to the best of your ability yet making mistakes - or taking a day off so you can get back to work re-energised and complete tasks to a high standard

While one day off wonrsquot cast away deep underlying stresses and strains it does allow you to step away from the scene of the crime and grab some much needed headspace

If you donrsquot want to eat into your holiday pay ask your boss to take an unpaid half day or full

History is full of poets philosophers and sages espousing the benefits of a positive disposition But it seems scientists disagreeWhy Because it pays to worry a little bit - quite literally

A study published in the Journal of Behavioural Decision Making in 2012 monitored 213 peoplersquos behaviour in relation to a simulated gambling game The study found participants in a sad or worrisome mood were more likely to make logical bets they knew had a higher likelihood of winning even after a series of losses

Whereas positive happy bettors were quicker and more likely to play what they knew was a riskier move Their jovial outlook influenced them to make unpredictable decisions on gut feelings despite the opportunity to play a logical bet

The study shows you are more likely to make winning decisions while you are in an anxious worried state of mind

But these findings donrsquot just apply to gambling The positive effect of this negative feeling translates into the business world In moderation worry can work wonders for your career

Sometimes a negative attitude is actually beneficial trait to have because it allows you to look at a situation in a more realistic light Feeling worried means you are more likely to make a logical decision with a higher outcome of success compared with your cheerful counterpart in the same situation

There is no danger of over promising and under delivering because you are thinking realistically Worry helps to rein in out of this world ideas it also assists with assessing the risks and obstacles in front of you

Worry can be the side effect of a strong desire to achieve perfection And in the pursuit of perfection worry can prompt you to double check and even triple check your work Without worry there is a risk you can become complacent a little too relaxed and more likely to make a mistake

Under a moderate amount of worry you are capable of learning and remembering new information more effectively This is because the primary stress hormone cortisol improves learning and memory at moderate concentrations compared to low or high concentrations

Worry has also been linked to accelerate career promotions and overall success An international study in Perspectives on Psychological Science in 2007 monitored 118519 peoplersquos careers

The study found those who are less happy attain higher salaries and more education while people who are very happy tend to form more rewarding relationships

People who are more susceptible to worry consequently exhibit the following personality traits

PROSbull More attentive to detailbull More motivated to work bull More polite and attentive to othersbull Vigilant for risks and threats

CONS bull Overcautious bull Less creativebull At risk of becoming too stressedbull More closed minded

In comparison worry-free people exhibit these contrasting behaviours

PROSbull More creativebull Form better relationshipsbull Healthierbull Willing to explore

CONSbull Prone to overlooking threats and dangersbull Open to unwise risks bull More gulliblebull Lacking appropriate embarrassment or guilt

By Laura Baker

day off And remember you donrsquot have to tell your co-workers that yoursquore taking a mental health day just that you wonrsquot be available

Whether you intend to be busy carrying out chores around the house exercising enjoying some retail therapy or you intend to do the complete opposite and catch up on sleep for the whole day a mental health day is whatever it means to you to be completely free

Just remember to plan ahead by informing your boss and colleagues of your leave in advance so they can work around it This way you wonrsquot need to worry about how your absence may affect others

And make sure when you take your mental health day work stays at work ndash donrsquot bring it home with you Turn your mobile phone off donrsquot check work related emails and certainly donrsquot take home any paperwork Emergencyrsquos only please

At the end of the day your health is important Provide some relief by paying attention to yourself and live a healthier life

Just remember to plan

ahead by informing your

boss and colleagues of

your leave in advance so

they can work around it

This way you wonrsquot need

to worry about how your

absence may affect others

Health and safety is paramount for operators involved in the use of elevated work platforms

So when it comes time to validating your competency you want to choose the best training course available

Accessman is New Zealandrsquos leading specialised hire company providing scissor lifts cherry pickers knucklebooms and mobile scaffolding Itrsquos now leading the field as an accredited IPAF training provider to complement the existing Silvercard NZQA training it currently offers

The company launched the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) accredited training programme throughout the South Island in November as one of two companies nationwide to do so

The internationally recognised course was developed by leading industry professionals and is aimed at users of elevated work platforms generally in the construction industry and certifies operators in the machines of their choice IPAF training conforms to the international standard ISO 18878 - Mobile Elevating Work Platforms Operator training and ISO 9001 - Quality Management Systems

The Accessman Group general manager Lena Harrington says health and safety is a priority not only within the company but throughout the industry So when Accessman saw the opportunity to provide the renowned IPAF training programme it jumped at the chance

ldquoI think the marketplace needed an alternative qualification IPAFrsquos rigid testing structure ensures that only competent operators are awarded the

qualification which provides employers with peace of mind that their staff have been thoroughly trained ndash they will not pass unless they are competentrdquo

IPAF training was founded in the UK and today has 600 training outlets worldwide which are responsible for qualifying over 100000 people per year IPAF recognised the Accessman Group had the platform required to release the qualification to the New Zealand market in partnership with Total Access in the North Island

To become an accredited training centre a senior IPAF auditor was brought out from the UK to put Accessmanrsquos training staff through the intensive instructorrsquos course

ldquoObviously our staff had to have a significant amount of experience within the industry before they were eligible to become IPAF instructors some of whom are also qualified to train both IPAF and Silvercard NZQA The training venues also had to meet some fairly stringent requirementsrdquo Lena says

The course is comprised of both practical and theory based learning with assessments The classes are kept small to maximise individual learning and the training centres are regularly audited to ensure they meet and adhere to the IPAF standards Training centres also receive regular updates to ensure that attendees are receiving the best training possible Attendees of IPAF training receive a Powered Access Licence (PAL) card The PAL card is valid for five years and is internationally recognised It can also be instantly verified by anyone via an online database which not only includes a photo of the card holder but details of the card

Five reasons to attend an IPAF training programmeThe PAL card is valid for five yearsThe PAL card is internationally recognisedThe card can be instantly verified via an online databaseExpert training by leading industry professionals in small class sizesOn completion participants receive a PAL card log book and an operator handbook

expiration date and machines the card holder can operate In addition they also receive a log book to record their machine use and an operator handbook

Lena says the PAL card is useful to the large number of contractors from overseas in the city thanks to its international recognition ldquoContractors are coming and going all the time in Christchurch at the moment so it makes sense that they have a qualification that is transferablerdquo In addition all reputable manufacturers of elevated work platforms worldwide are members of IPAF an alignment that strengthens the service the not for profit federation provides

But the only independently owned and operated airline in the country isnrsquot going into competition with the large airlines Ewan says it aims to carve out a niche for itself in the regional centres

Back in the 1980s I trained for and gained a Private Pilotrsquos Licence (PPL) Although quite a number of years have passed since then I have never forgotten the joy and exhilaration of being in the air watching the world go by below There is an immense feeling of freedom to this recreational activity and every time you fly it is different in some way Other people such as Richie McCaw know the wonder of aviation and it is there for the taking

Take a trial flight at the South Canterbury Aero Club and see if you donrsquot become addicted

The South Canterbury Aero Club offers a superb environment and location for people to learn to fly whatever their reason for doing this may be Perhaps they are looking for a career in aviation or wish only to fly for recreation either way the South Canterbury Aero Club can cater for all needs from new students right through to commercial pilot training and beyond

The club operates from Timarursquos Richard Pearse airport a spectacular setting within easy flying

In rarefied airBy Cheryl Colley

distance of AorakiMt Cook the Mackenzie Basin the West Coast and the quilted paddocks of the Canterbury plains

The club has a rich history in New Zealandrsquos aviation training and participation Flight training first began in South Canterbury in 1930 at Washdyke and then moved to the Saltwater Creek in 1932 In November 1946 the South Canterbury Aero Club was incorporated and moved to its present site at the Timaru Airport in 1953 For more details of the history of aviation in South Canterbury have a look at the book Wings over South Canterbury by D E Drake

Today the club is staffed by highly professional qualified people who all spend many hours each year upskilling themselves through further training Your safety is ensured every time you lift off with the experience and knowledge found in their cockpits

The club has three aircraft in its fleet Its two Piper Tomahawks are primarily used for flight training while the Piper Archer a four seater cross country aircraft is used for the clubrsquos commercial sightseeing operations

And thatrsquos another aspect of the South Canterbury Aero Clubrsquos operation for those who do not want to learn to fly themselves There are a number of pre-planned scenic flights to choose from or customers can design their own

You could fly to AorakiMt Cook to Glentanner or to Omarama to the Arundel ponds to Lake Tekapo or the Ashburton Lakes The skyrsquos the limit - so to speak Not only does the club offer scenic flights but they also do charter work and aerial photography

The South Canterbury Aero Clubrsquos operation is routinely audited to ensure the most efficient and

safe service is provided to customers and all activities are carried out under the Civil Aviation Authorityrsquos Certification

Proudly Supporting Window Treatments for over 10 Years

As New Zealandrsquos largest independently owned blind shutter awning and insect screen manufacturing and retail company Window Treatments offer products that follow the latest international trends

The company has retail stores and mobile showrooms throughout the country including nine across the South Island

It has an exciting range of new products available for the summer season including exterior awnings that are designed for longevity in harsh coastal environments

Owner Graeme Rose says the Palladio cassetted folding arm awning is a new generation awning ideal for home patios shops and kiosks offering unobstructed passage underneath It is made from aluminium marine-grade stainless steel fittings and fabrics designed for the outdoors

ldquoPalladio is fully cassetted so it protects the fabric when the awning is retractedrdquo he says

ldquoIt can cover everything up to seven metres in width and a projection of up to 36 metres Itrsquos very large and is ideal for creating that indoor-outdoor environment where you want sun or wind protectionrdquo

Other new awnings from Window Treatments include the Italia box radial arm awning which is ideal for both residential and commercial installations and the Terrazza pergola awning

Graeme says another exciting new product is the Securo side roller blind which rolls from side to side rather than up and down like a conventional roller blind

ldquoItrsquos particularly good for ranch sliders where you need some light control and it also doubles as an insect screen The beauty is you can roll it back just enough to get outside while still having your ranch slider open With a conventional roller blind yoursquod have to roll it right up to go through the doorrdquo

Focus | Tekapo Springs

Tekapo Springs is a year-round attraction beloved by visitors from across the globe In early 2015 the resort announced plans to open new multi-million dollar facilities for visitors families and locals to enjoy from late December onwards ndash and itrsquos finally here

New pools take Tekapo Springs to the next level

The new additions include three new pool areas including an aqua playspray area for kids and teens a beach accessed kidsrsquo pool and an adultsrsquo deep water pool

The pools all run at cooler water temperatures of 33 degrees Celsius for the kidsrsquo pool and aqua play area and 28 degrees Celsius for the adultsrsquo pool

Tekapo Springs owner and managing director Karl Burtscher says the aim is to offer a dditional entertaining aquatic options for families children and adults He also says the need to offer a wider temperature range of pool water was important especially during the summer months

Karl explains that the new additions completely open up the resort and create even more

opportunities for guests to gaze upon Lake Tekapo while enjoying the facilities

ldquoYou can now get down to pool level and really appreciate the views from the new adult pool in particular which quite possibly will have the best overall views down Lake Tekapo of any of the pools ndash old and newrdquo

The new pool additions themed lsquoHigh Country Tarnsrsquo each with its own distinctive shade of aqua green ndash were designed to complement the three existing hot pools and are part of Tekapo Springsrsquo long term growth strategy for expanding its aquatic attractions and offering a wider range of water temperatures and features

The new pools will also run through winter depending on outside weather temperatures

Focus | Tekapo Springs

A tight scheduleSince the first sod was turned on September 1 2015 progress was swift and exciting With the new pools taking shape and initial landscaping underway Tekapo Springs staff were thrilled to see dreams become reality

As of November 25 fibre glass spraying and painting of the adultsrsquo pool had been completed with fibre glass spraying commencing on the childrenrsquos cold pool a few days after

Karl says as the pools literally took shape on a daily basis staff could start to get a sense of what they would be delivering to guests

A helping handThe design concept of the pools came from Karl himself and he even completed some of the earth and civil works while co-ordinating the whole project

Although Karl played a major hand in bringing the new additions to life he received a wide slot of help from both local companies and others from around New Zealand

Those involved included H2O Water Systems from Auckland doing the pool plant High Country Carpentry from Fairlie doing all the building and formwork Stephen Styles Block and Brick doing block work Murray Linton Concrete doing concrete laying Reflex Industrial doing fibre glassing and Damon Smith Electrical and Prolec (Professional Electric) from Christchurch doing controls and automation

The perfect spotTekapo Springs is nestled on the shores of stunning Lake Tekapo boasting a unique mix of summer and winter recreation and relaxation

Open 364 days a year the attraction already includes three existing outdoor hot pools a steam and sauna facility an ice rink water slides summer and winter tubing a day spa cafeacute and fully licensed bar

The company has evolved into a year-round ldquomust-dordquo on the bucket list of many visitors to the South Island as well as stamping its mark as an important centrepiece in the Tekapo community

The new pools are a testament to the companyrsquos drive to grow and develop while continuously exceeding customer expectations The three new pools help step-up Tekapo Springsrsquo summer offering and put it among one of the countryrsquos leading tourism operators CT

Finance | Hamilton Hindin Greene

Christchurch businesses are all too familiar with the struggles and obstacles that come with upheaving an office and moving to a new location One local business that understands the struggle all too well is Hamilton Hindin Greene

The investment advisory firm has endured a turbulent and unsettled time since the February 2011 earthquake It has almost consistently been on the move from one premise to the next moving offices five times in the last five years

CEO Ian Perry explains that one day before the earthquake Hamilton Hindin Greene shifted from its office on Hereford Street in the old National Bank building where it had been based for 30 years to the BDO building on Victoria Street When the February quake struck it had just over a day to move everything out of the damaged building but luckily no one was hurt Ian says

In the following chaos it moved to a space above the Dinghyrsquos amp Outboards warehouse on Lincoln Road ldquothen that got knocked downrdquo In 2012 it shifted into a brand new building on Manchester Street called Westende House

ldquoIt was 140 percent up to code and we thought it was going to be our permanent location Then suddenly we got notice when the councilrsquos transport plan was released that the planners had decided they wanted to purchase the building to knock it down and widen the road

ldquoFinally in June 2014 we moved into where we are today at level 1 83 Victoria Street The office is located on the corner of Peterborough Street and hopefully wersquoll never have to move againrdquo

What Hamilton Hindin Greene can do for you Hamilton Hindin Greene is a boutique personalised and specialist investment advisory service It has evolved from solely operating as a share broker when it was established almost a century ago to the diverse investment advisory firm it is today

ldquoWe are no longer the traditional share broker who just deals in New Zealand shares We are investment advisors who use a diversified approach to investing in local and international shares and bonds to provide investment solutions to a range of peoplerdquo

Clients are paired with a personal advisor who takes them through the investment planning process to develop a risk profile for the particular objectives they want to achieve

The advisor then builds a bespoke profile using local Australian and international shares ldquoWe help them to select the right mix of good quality companies so over the long term theyrsquoll make an appropriate return for the risk they want to takerdquo

The advisor oversees the day to day running of clients portfolios and provides advice on potential outcomes of their investments ldquoOur advice is always customised to that particular individuals needsrdquo CT

The organ is the grandest of instruments Itrsquos been referred to as the closest to heaven instrument on earth with a sound thatrsquos powerful rich and deeply moving

Restoring heritage pieces to their former glory

Keeping such instruments in pristine working order is a highly specialised craft One company that has these skills in such a niche field is the South Island Organ Company (SIOC) based in Timaru

Established in 1968 SIOC has been in continuous operation now for nearly 50 years The company offers tuning and maintenance of organs historic restorations and artistic rebuilds as well as new organ builds throughout New Zealand and overseas They are widely recognised as one of the leading firms specialising in pipe organ restoration and rebuilding

The SIOC has worked on literally hundreds of organs Some of the projects have been very large and complex such as their current restoration of Wellingtonrsquos fabulous 1906 Town Hall organ In 1997 at St Patrickrsquos Basilica Fremantle they rebuilt the largest church organ in Australia In 2008 they rebuilt the organ in UWArsquos Winthrop Hall and in 2010 the interconnected organs of St Maryrsquos Cathedral both in the city of Perth

Back in New Zealand a very special project completed late last year was the rebuild of the historic organ of Knox Presbyterian Church in Christchurch after both church and organ were badly damaged in the 201011 earthquakes

SIOCrsquos 12 man team reconstructed the original organ added some more pipes and a digital transmission to facilitate the mobilised and

ldquoEverything we do is quality old-fashioned craftsmanship made to last or to be restored We are not in the throw away utility market but in the heritage market creating one-off pieces that are going to become art works of the futurerdquo CT

adapted 1914 console in accordance with the Churchrsquos stated mission to provide a flexible concert space in the inner city

This project is a clear example of the way SIOC can incorporate leading-edge technology such as computerised digital playing aids and playback systems into organ restorations and rebuilds without compromising heritage

There is however another aspect to the work of the SIOC which may seem unrelated ndash but actually there is a connection The company can also restore precious antique furniture and create new custom joinery

This side of the operation is led by Zack Bennett a specialist in antique furniture restoration in carving and in sculpture as well as in the design and manufacture of customised joinery Zack is about to direct restoration of the historic 19th century reredos in St Saviourrsquos church in Lyttelton ndash a highly intricate project involving earthquake damaged timber and ceramic tiles So diversification is definitely the name of the game for the SIOC

An ever increasing social conscience about energy use and the effect it has on our environment is causing companies like Solar Bright to look into alternative options Using solar power technology the Christchurch-based team is making leaps and bounds with energy-generating products which are spreading throughout the city and beyond

You may recognise Solar Bright as the company behind the solar-powered table in the city centrersquos ReStart mall which visitors could use to charge their mobile devices that were running low

The table which was on loan to the council has now been relocated to a new home at Burnside High School Being the largest school in the South Island the team at Solar Bright donated the table to the school knowing they would get good use out of it

It seems the team at Solar Bright has not stopped since then They have created and installed five more tables that are dotted around the city have had interest from North Canterbury and Auckland City Council for similar products and have even installed a solar shelter in Linwood for people to charge their devices in

Managing director Nicola Martin explains that the hunger for electricity is growing dramatically and solar energy provides an effective solution

ldquoItrsquos just using what naturersquos already given us Itrsquos a renewable source of energy and means not having to rely solely on electricityrdquo

At the moment Solar Bright is also trialling the charging tables at the McDonaldrsquos restaurants on Moorhouse Ave and in Sydenham The idea is to see how the technology will work indoors and what kind of savings the chains will make on electricity bills as customers are increasingly using power points in store to charge their devices with

Nicola explained that these solar powered charging outlets are a great solution to electricity blackouts If power were ever cut from the city again people would have places like the tables and shelters to use to make sure their mobiles and devices stay on the green light making sure communication methods are protected during emergencies

But charging mobile phones and tablets ar e not the only good ideas Solar Bright has In 2012 Nicolarsquos husband and inventor of their products

Pat Martin realised the need for the detection of frost on roads and came up with PATeye technology

It is again solar powered via the sun and headlights from cars during the night and works the same sort of way that cats eyes currently do on roads around the world

With PATeye the devices installed on roads will flash blue LED lights when the air temperature reaches a certain level to warn people of the potential dangers of slipping

Due to regulations around the world it may take a little while for Solar Bright to weave through the legislation of installing the device on public roads but for now they are rolling out PATeyes on private roads car parks and pathways

Lincoln University Kiwi Rail Dunedin City Council Christchurch Polytechnic and even private NHS roads in the UK are just some of the institutions already using the technology

Solar Bright won two awards at this yearrsquos Champion Canterbury Awards for the Champion Producer Manufacturer as a small enterprise and the CDC Innovation Award for its ldquoinnovative sustainable energy-efficient lighting solutions which enhance safety and lifestyle both domestically and internationallyrdquo CT

Interior design is no longer a stand-alone field it blends seamlessly into so many other areas of life setting the scene for a larger picture incorporating art retail and fine foods

The art of interior designInterior designer and co-owner of Frobisher Interiors Ann-Marie Appleton saw the opportunity to bring together these complementing crafts into one location and create an entirely new interior design experience in Christchurch She and her team at Frobisher Interiors proudly opened the innovative new store on Manchester Street a year ago

The completely modern take on the store is unlike anything around ldquoWe are the only interior design business in the city that encompasses everything that interior design is about in one building Wersquove gone far beyond what is traditionally expected from an interior design shoprdquo

The industry leading store is a complete interior design shopping experience beautifully flowing uninterrupted from a coffee shop meeting space retail store fabric samples area to art gallery

The blended retail space offers everything and anything you might need ldquoThe draw card initially for customers especially for people who donrsquot know us as interior designers is the coffee shop and meeting space From there they can see beyond into the retail space which is adorned with beautiful little gifts and lovely things to buy for the home to larger items such as furniture and our interior design servicerdquo

Frobisher Interiors previously operated from a small villa in Merivale which was too small for

its needs The villa only just housed the team of staff restricted the number of samples on display and failed to properly showcase its work

When it came time to look for bigger premises it was a case of lsquogo big or go homersquo Ann-Marie says they looked at the big picture and made a massive wish list of everything they wanted in the new location then set to work making it a reality

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Designed to handle any load

cab chassis ldquoWe used to make the floor of a tipdeck to 6mm but with Hardox we can make them out of 4mm steel which makes a big difference to the weightrdquo

Quick turn around If you need a tipper body fast at a competitive rate Brokenshire Engineering is the team to call It has truck bodies in stock right now that can be custom-painted and fitted to a truck within two weeks But if you canrsquot find the right body in stock Brokenshire can custom-build paint install the pump oil tank and gas controls and fit it to the truck for just $45000 plus GST

Unparalleled products Brokenshirersquos ability to design and built anything for truck and trailers is unparalleled It builds new semi-tipper truck bodies and is the only business in the country that makes smooth surfaced runner-less tipper bodies

ldquoWe are the only people who make runner-less tipper bodies Most tipper bodies have got channels on them we donrsquot use channels This is the latest European designrdquo

It can also convert hydraulic truck breaks to an air break system and has three and five tonne full air axels on air suspension or springs available Henry has been in the transport engineering industry for 50 years and he says this experience in the industry means he can take on the difficult jobs that other people donrsquot want to CT

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

Health and safety is paramount for operators involved in the use of elevated work platforms

So when it comes time to validating your competency you want to choose the best training course available

Accessman is New Zealandrsquos leading specialised hire company providing scissor lifts cherry pickers knucklebooms and mobile scaffolding Itrsquos now leading the field as an accredited IPAF training provider to complement the existing Silvercard NZQA training it currently offers

The company launched the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) accredited training programme throughout the South Island in November as one of two companies nationwide to do so

The internationally recognised course was developed by leading industry professionals and is aimed at users of elevated work platforms generally in the construction industry and certifies operators in the machines of their choice IPAF training conforms to the international standard ISO 18878 - Mobile Elevating Work Platforms Operator training and ISO 9001 - Quality Management Systems

The Accessman Group general manager Lena Harrington says health and safety is a priority not only within the company but throughout the industry So when Accessman saw the opportunity to provide the renowned IPAF training programme it jumped at the chance

ldquoI think the marketplace needed an alternative qualification IPAFrsquos rigid testing structure ensures that only competent operators are awarded the

qualification which provides employers with peace of mind that their staff have been thoroughly trained ndash they will not pass unless they are competentrdquo

IPAF training was founded in the UK and today has 600 training outlets worldwide which are responsible for qualifying over 100000 people per year IPAF recognised the Accessman Group had the platform required to release the qualification to the New Zealand market in partnership with Total Access in the North Island

To become an accredited training centre a senior IPAF auditor was brought out from the UK to put Accessmanrsquos training staff through the intensive instructorrsquos course

ldquoObviously our staff had to have a significant amount of experience within the industry before they were eligible to become IPAF instructors some of whom are also qualified to train both IPAF and Silvercard NZQA The training venues also had to meet some fairly stringent requirementsrdquo Lena says

The course is comprised of both practical and theory based learning with assessments The classes are kept small to maximise individual learning and the training centres are regularly audited to ensure they meet and adhere to the IPAF standards Training centres also receive regular updates to ensure that attendees are receiving the best training possible Attendees of IPAF training receive a Powered Access Licence (PAL) card The PAL card is valid for five years and is internationally recognised It can also be instantly verified by anyone via an online database which not only includes a photo of the card holder but details of the card

Five reasons to attend an IPAF training programmeThe PAL card is valid for five yearsThe PAL card is internationally recognisedThe card can be instantly verified via an online databaseExpert training by leading industry professionals in small class sizesOn completion participants receive a PAL card log book and an operator handbook

expiration date and machines the card holder can operate In addition they also receive a log book to record their machine use and an operator handbook

Lena says the PAL card is useful to the large number of contractors from overseas in the city thanks to its international recognition ldquoContractors are coming and going all the time in Christchurch at the moment so it makes sense that they have a qualification that is transferablerdquo In addition all reputable manufacturers of elevated work platforms worldwide are members of IPAF an alignment that strengthens the service the not for profit federation provides

Back in the 1980s I trained for and gained a Private Pilotrsquos Licence (PPL) Although quite a number of years have passed since then I have never forgotten the joy and exhilaration of being in the air watching the world go by below There is an immense feeling of freedom to this recreational activity and every time you fly it is different in some way Other people such as Richie McCaw know the wonder of aviation and it is there for the taking

Take a trial flight at the South Canterbury Aero Club and see if you donrsquot become addicted

The South Canterbury Aero Club offers a superb environment and location for people to learn to fly whatever their reason for doing this may be Perhaps they are looking for a career in aviation or wish only to fly for recreation either way the South Canterbury Aero Club can cater for all needs from new students right through to commercial pilot training and beyond

The club operates from Timarursquos Richard Pearse airport a spectacular setting within easy flying

Proudly Supporting Window Treatments for over 10 Years

As New Zealandrsquos largest independently owned blind shutter awning and insect screen manufacturing and retail company Window Treatments offer products that follow the latest international trends

The company has retail stores and mobile showrooms throughout the country including nine across the South Island

It has an exciting range of new products available for the summer season including exterior awnings that are designed for longevity in harsh coastal environments

Owner Graeme Rose says the Palladio cassetted folding arm awning is a new generation awning ideal for home patios shops and kiosks offering unobstructed passage underneath It is made from aluminium marine-grade stainless steel fittings and fabrics designed for the outdoors

ldquoPalladio is fully cassetted so it protects the fabric when the awning is retractedrdquo he says

ldquoIt can cover everything up to seven metres in width and a projection of up to 36 metres Itrsquos very large and is ideal for creating that indoor-outdoor environment where you want sun or wind protectionrdquo

Other new awnings from Window Treatments include the Italia box radial arm awning which is ideal for both residential and commercial installations and the Terrazza pergola awning

Graeme says another exciting new product is the Securo side roller blind which rolls from side to side rather than up and down like a conventional roller blind

ldquoItrsquos particularly good for ranch sliders where you need some light control and it also doubles as an insect screen The beauty is you can roll it back just enough to get outside while still having your ranch slider open With a conventional roller blind yoursquod have to roll it right up to go through the doorrdquo

Focus | Tekapo Springs

Tekapo Springs is a year-round attraction beloved by visitors from across the globe In early 2015 the resort announced plans to open new multi-million dollar facilities for visitors families and locals to enjoy from late December onwards ndash and itrsquos finally here

New pools take Tekapo Springs to the next level

The new additions include three new pool areas including an aqua playspray area for kids and teens a beach accessed kidsrsquo pool and an adultsrsquo deep water pool

The pools all run at cooler water temperatures of 33 degrees Celsius for the kidsrsquo pool and aqua play area and 28 degrees Celsius for the adultsrsquo pool

Tekapo Springs owner and managing director Karl Burtscher says the aim is to offer a dditional entertaining aquatic options for families children and adults He also says the need to offer a wider temperature range of pool water was important especially during the summer months

Karl explains that the new additions completely open up the resort and create even more

opportunities for guests to gaze upon Lake Tekapo while enjoying the facilities

ldquoYou can now get down to pool level and really appreciate the views from the new adult pool in particular which quite possibly will have the best overall views down Lake Tekapo of any of the pools ndash old and newrdquo

The new pool additions themed lsquoHigh Country Tarnsrsquo each with its own distinctive shade of aqua green ndash were designed to complement the three existing hot pools and are part of Tekapo Springsrsquo long term growth strategy for expanding its aquatic attractions and offering a wider range of water temperatures and features

The new pools will also run through winter depending on outside weather temperatures

ldquoProud to be be involved in the construction of the new pools for Tekapo Springsrdquo

Focus | Tekapo Springs

A tight scheduleSince the first sod was turned on September 1 2015 progress was swift and exciting With the new pools taking shape and initial landscaping underway Tekapo Springs staff were thrilled to see dreams become reality

As of November 25 fibre glass spraying and painting of the adultsrsquo pool had been completed with fibre glass spraying commencing on the childrenrsquos cold pool a few days after

Karl says as the pools literally took shape on a daily basis staff could start to get a sense of what they would be delivering to guests

A helping handThe design concept of the pools came from Karl himself and he even completed some of the earth and civil works while co-ordinating the whole project

Although Karl played a major hand in bringing the new additions to life he received a wide slot of help from both local companies and others from around New Zealand

Those involved included H2O Water Systems from Auckland doing the pool plant High Country Carpentry from Fairlie doing all the building and formwork Stephen Styles Block and Brick doing block work Murray Linton Concrete doing concrete laying Reflex Industrial doing fibre glassing and Damon Smith Electrical and Prolec (Professional Electric) from Christchurch doing controls and automation

The perfect spotTekapo Springs is nestled on the shores of stunning Lake Tekapo boasting a unique mix of summer and winter recreation and relaxation

Open 364 days a year the attraction already includes three existing outdoor hot pools a steam and sauna facility an ice rink water slides summer and winter tubing a day spa cafeacute and fully licensed bar

The company has evolved into a year-round ldquomust-dordquo on the bucket list of many visitors to the South Island as well as stamping its mark as an important centrepiece in the Tekapo community

The new pools are a testament to the companyrsquos drive to grow and develop while continuously exceeding customer expectations The three new pools help step-up Tekapo Springsrsquo summer offering and put it among one of the countryrsquos leading tourism operators CT

Finance | Hamilton Hindin Greene

Christchurch businesses are all too familiar with the struggles and obstacles that come with upheaving an office and moving to a new location One local business that understands the struggle all too well is Hamilton Hindin Greene

The investment advisory firm has endured a turbulent and unsettled time since the February 2011 earthquake It has almost consistently been on the move from one premise to the next moving offices five times in the last five years

CEO Ian Perry explains that one day before the earthquake Hamilton Hindin Greene shifted from its office on Hereford Street in the old National Bank building where it had been based for 30 years to the BDO building on Victoria Street When the February quake struck it had just over a day to move everything out of the damaged building but luckily no one was hurt Ian says

In the following chaos it moved to a space above the Dinghyrsquos amp Outboards warehouse on Lincoln Road ldquothen that got knocked downrdquo In 2012 it shifted into a brand new building on Manchester Street called Westende House

ldquoIt was 140 percent up to code and we thought it was going to be our permanent location Then suddenly we got notice when the councilrsquos transport plan was released that the planners had decided they wanted to purchase the building to knock it down and widen the road

ldquoFinally in June 2014 we moved into where we are today at level 1 83 Victoria Street The office is located on the corner of Peterborough Street and hopefully wersquoll never have to move againrdquo

What Hamilton Hindin Greene can do for you Hamilton Hindin Greene is a boutique personalised and specialist investment advisory service It has evolved from solely operating as a share broker when it was established almost a century ago to the diverse investment advisory firm it is today

ldquoWe are no longer the traditional share broker who just deals in New Zealand shares We are investment advisors who use a diversified approach to investing in local and international shares and bonds to provide investment solutions to a range of peoplerdquo

Clients are paired with a personal advisor who takes them through the investment planning process to develop a risk profile for the particular objectives they want to achieve

The advisor then builds a bespoke profile using local Australian and international shares ldquoWe help them to select the right mix of good quality companies so over the long term theyrsquoll make an appropriate return for the risk they want to takerdquo

The advisor oversees the day to day running of clients portfolios and provides advice on potential outcomes of their investments ldquoOur advice is always customised to that particular individuals needsrdquo CT

The organ is the grandest of instruments Itrsquos been referred to as the closest to heaven instrument on earth with a sound thatrsquos powerful rich and deeply moving

Restoring heritage pieces to their former glory

Keeping such instruments in pristine working order is a highly specialised craft One company that has these skills in such a niche field is the South Island Organ Company (SIOC) based in Timaru

Established in 1968 SIOC has been in continuous operation now for nearly 50 years The company offers tuning and maintenance of organs historic restorations and artistic rebuilds as well as new organ builds throughout New Zealand and overseas They are widely recognised as one of the leading firms specialising in pipe organ restoration and rebuilding

The SIOC has worked on literally hundreds of organs Some of the projects have been very large and complex such as their current restoration of Wellingtonrsquos fabulous 1906 Town Hall organ In 1997 at St Patrickrsquos Basilica Fremantle they rebuilt the largest church organ in Australia In 2008 they rebuilt the organ in UWArsquos Winthrop Hall and in 2010 the interconnected organs of St Maryrsquos Cathedral both in the city of Perth

Back in New Zealand a very special project completed late last year was the rebuild of the historic organ of Knox Presbyterian Church in Christchurch after both church and organ were badly damaged in the 201011 earthquakes

SIOCrsquos 12 man team reconstructed the original organ added some more pipes and a digital transmission to facilitate the mobilised and

ldquoEverything we do is quality old-fashioned craftsmanship made to last or to be restored We are not in the throw away utility market but in the heritage market creating one-off pieces that are going to become art works of the futurerdquo CT

adapted 1914 console in accordance with the Churchrsquos stated mission to provide a flexible concert space in the inner city

This project is a clear example of the way SIOC can incorporate leading-edge technology such as computerised digital playing aids and playback systems into organ restorations and rebuilds without compromising heritage

There is however another aspect to the work of the SIOC which may seem unrelated ndash but actually there is a connection The company can also restore precious antique furniture and create new custom joinery

This side of the operation is led by Zack Bennett a specialist in antique furniture restoration in carving and in sculpture as well as in the design and manufacture of customised joinery Zack is about to direct restoration of the historic 19th century reredos in St Saviourrsquos church in Lyttelton ndash a highly intricate project involving earthquake damaged timber and ceramic tiles So diversification is definitely the name of the game for the SIOC

Striving for excellence and innovation the team at ENI has been involved in many successful projects during the years including the solar powered charging tables that have been installed around the city grandstands for Marist Park Hockey grounds the lsquoring of firersquo for the Crusaders pitch along with many others

With its own design team to help turn customersrsquo ideas into reality ENI is the complete package The companyrsquos capabilities and services include laser profile cutting punching folding powder coating CAD3D design draughting capabilities roto-moulding fabrication and assembly

An ever increasing social conscience about energy use and the effect it has on our environment is causing companies like Solar Bright to look into alternative options Using solar power technology the Christchurch-based team is making leaps and bounds with energy-generating products which are spreading throughout the city and beyond

You may recognise Solar Bright as the company behind the solar-powered table in the city centrersquos ReStart mall which visitors could use to charge their mobile devices that were running low

The table which was on loan to the council has now been relocated to a new home at Burnside High School Being the largest school in the South Island the team at Solar Bright donated the table to the school knowing they would get good use out of it

It seems the team at Solar Bright has not stopped since then They have created and installed five more tables that are dotted around the city have had interest from North Canterbury and Auckland City Council for similar products and have even installed a solar shelter in Linwood for people to charge their devices in

Managing director Nicola Martin explains that the hunger for electricity is growing dramatically and solar energy provides an effective solution

ldquoItrsquos just using what naturersquos already given us Itrsquos a renewable source of energy and means not having to rely solely on electricityrdquo

At the moment Solar Bright is also trialling the charging tables at the McDonaldrsquos restaurants on Moorhouse Ave and in Sydenham The idea is to see how the technology will work indoors and what kind of savings the chains will make on electricity bills as customers are increasingly using power points in store to charge their devices with

Nicola explained that these solar powered charging outlets are a great solution to electricity blackouts If power were ever cut from the city again people would have places like the tables and shelters to use to make sure their mobiles and devices stay on the green light making sure communication methods are protected during emergencies

But charging mobile phones and tablets ar e not the only good ideas Solar Bright has In 2012 Nicolarsquos husband and inventor of their products

Pat Martin realised the need for the detection of frost on roads and came up with PATeye technology

It is again solar powered via the sun and headlights from cars during the night and works the same sort of way that cats eyes currently do on roads around the world

With PATeye the devices installed on roads will flash blue LED lights when the air temperature reaches a certain level to warn people of the potential dangers of slipping

Due to regulations around the world it may take a little while for Solar Bright to weave through the legislation of installing the device on public roads but for now they are rolling out PATeyes on private roads car parks and pathways

Lincoln University Kiwi Rail Dunedin City Council Christchurch Polytechnic and even private NHS roads in the UK are just some of the institutions already using the technology

Solar Bright won two awards at this yearrsquos Champion Canterbury Awards for the Champion Producer Manufacturer as a small enterprise and the CDC Innovation Award for its ldquoinnovative sustainable energy-efficient lighting solutions which enhance safety and lifestyle both domestically and internationallyrdquo CT

Interior design is no longer a stand-alone field it blends seamlessly into so many other areas of life setting the scene for a larger picture incorporating art retail and fine foods

The art of interior designInterior designer and co-owner of Frobisher Interiors Ann-Marie Appleton saw the opportunity to bring together these complementing crafts into one location and create an entirely new interior design experience in Christchurch She and her team at Frobisher Interiors proudly opened the innovative new store on Manchester Street a year ago

The completely modern take on the store is unlike anything around ldquoWe are the only interior design business in the city that encompasses everything that interior design is about in one building Wersquove gone far beyond what is traditionally expected from an interior design shoprdquo

The industry leading store is a complete interior design shopping experience beautifully flowing uninterrupted from a coffee shop meeting space retail store fabric samples area to art gallery

The blended retail space offers everything and anything you might need ldquoThe draw card initially for customers especially for people who donrsquot know us as interior designers is the coffee shop and meeting space From there they can see beyond into the retail space which is adorned with beautiful little gifts and lovely things to buy for the home to larger items such as furniture and our interior design servicerdquo

Frobisher Interiors previously operated from a small villa in Merivale which was too small for

its needs The villa only just housed the team of staff restricted the number of samples on display and failed to properly showcase its work

When it came time to look for bigger premises it was a case of lsquogo big or go homersquo Ann-Marie says they looked at the big picture and made a massive wish list of everything they wanted in the new location then set to work making it a reality

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Designed to handle any load

cab chassis ldquoWe used to make the floor of a tipdeck to 6mm but with Hardox we can make them out of 4mm steel which makes a big difference to the weightrdquo

Quick turn around If you need a tipper body fast at a competitive rate Brokenshire Engineering is the team to call It has truck bodies in stock right now that can be custom-painted and fitted to a truck within two weeks But if you canrsquot find the right body in stock Brokenshire can custom-build paint install the pump oil tank and gas controls and fit it to the truck for just $45000 plus GST

Unparalleled products Brokenshirersquos ability to design and built anything for truck and trailers is unparalleled It builds new semi-tipper truck bodies and is the only business in the country that makes smooth surfaced runner-less tipper bodies

ldquoWe are the only people who make runner-less tipper bodies Most tipper bodies have got channels on them we donrsquot use channels This is the latest European designrdquo

It can also convert hydraulic truck breaks to an air break system and has three and five tonne full air axels on air suspension or springs available Henry has been in the transport engineering industry for 50 years and he says this experience in the industry means he can take on the difficult jobs that other people donrsquot want to CT

Heart of the Home Kitchen Award winnerOne of their most recent projects a gorgeous home in Merivale Christchurch has been in the spotlight for receiving the 2015 Registered Master Builders House of the Year seal of approval

The project won the Heart of the Home Kitchen Award and received great acclaim from judges ldquoThe kitchen has been designed as an integral part of this homerdquo they said

ldquoA comprehensive selection of modern appliances and fixtures along with the large butlerrsquos pantry and adjacent large glass fronted wine cellar make this a functional kitchen

Beautifully finished in dark stained American Oak the space exudes elegance

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Therersquos a big focus on getting everyone involved including parents some of whom go on to achieve their lifeguard award CT

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

But the only independently owned and operated airline in the country isnrsquot going into competition with the large airlines Ewan says it aims to carve out a niche for itself in the regional centres

ldquoWe deliberately avoid direct competition with Air New Zealand and Jetstar by developing regional to regional routesrdquo He says its goal is to develop its niche markets stay disciplined respond to customer demand and provide a safe sustainable air service to regional New Zealand

Back in the 1980s I trained for and gained a Private Pilotrsquos Licence (PPL) Although quite a number of years have passed since then I have never forgotten the joy and exhilaration of being in the air watching the world go by below There is an immense feeling of freedom to this recreational activity and every time you fly it is different in some way Other people such as Richie McCaw know the wonder of aviation and it is there for the taking

Take a trial flight at the South Canterbury Aero Club and see if you donrsquot become addicted

The South Canterbury Aero Club offers a superb environment and location for people to learn to fly whatever their reason for doing this may be Perhaps they are looking for a career in aviation or wish only to fly for recreation either way the South Canterbury Aero Club can cater for all needs from new students right through to commercial pilot training and beyond

The club operates from Timarursquos Richard Pearse airport a spectacular setting within easy flying

Proudly Supporting Window Treatments for over 10 Years

As New Zealandrsquos largest independently owned blind shutter awning and insect screen manufacturing and retail company Window Treatments offer products that follow the latest international trends

The company has retail stores and mobile showrooms throughout the country including nine across the South Island

It has an exciting range of new products available for the summer season including exterior awnings that are designed for longevity in harsh coastal environments

Owner Graeme Rose says the Palladio cassetted folding arm awning is a new generation awning ideal for home patios shops and kiosks offering unobstructed passage underneath It is made from aluminium marine-grade stainless steel fittings and fabrics designed for the outdoors

ldquoPalladio is fully cassetted so it protects the fabric when the awning is retractedrdquo he says

ldquoIt can cover everything up to seven metres in width and a projection of up to 36 metres Itrsquos very large and is ideal for creating that indoor-outdoor environment where you want sun or wind protectionrdquo

Other new awnings from Window Treatments include the Italia box radial arm awning which is ideal for both residential and commercial installations and the Terrazza pergola awning

Graeme says another exciting new product is the Securo side roller blind which rolls from side to side rather than up and down like a conventional roller blind

ldquoItrsquos particularly good for ranch sliders where you need some light control and it also doubles as an insect screen The beauty is you can roll it back just enough to get outside while still having your ranch slider open With a conventional roller blind yoursquod have to roll it right up to go through the doorrdquo

Interior shutters have become a popular choice for their functionality and good looks

Focus | Tekapo Springs

Tekapo Springs is a year-round attraction beloved by visitors from across the globe In early 2015 the resort announced plans to open new multi-million dollar facilities for visitors families and locals to enjoy from late December onwards ndash and itrsquos finally here

New pools take Tekapo Springs to the next level

The new additions include three new pool areas including an aqua playspray area for kids and teens a beach accessed kidsrsquo pool and an adultsrsquo deep water pool

The pools all run at cooler water temperatures of 33 degrees Celsius for the kidsrsquo pool and aqua play area and 28 degrees Celsius for the adultsrsquo pool

Tekapo Springs owner and managing director Karl Burtscher says the aim is to offer a dditional entertaining aquatic options for families children and adults He also says the need to offer a wider temperature range of pool water was important especially during the summer months

Karl explains that the new additions completely open up the resort and create even more

opportunities for guests to gaze upon Lake Tekapo while enjoying the facilities

ldquoYou can now get down to pool level and really appreciate the views from the new adult pool in particular which quite possibly will have the best overall views down Lake Tekapo of any of the pools ndash old and newrdquo

The new pool additions themed lsquoHigh Country Tarnsrsquo each with its own distinctive shade of aqua green ndash were designed to complement the three existing hot pools and are part of Tekapo Springsrsquo long term growth strategy for expanding its aquatic attractions and offering a wider range of water temperatures and features

The new pools will also run through winter depending on outside weather temperatures

Focus | Tekapo Springs

A tight scheduleSince the first sod was turned on September 1 2015 progress was swift and exciting With the new pools taking shape and initial landscaping underway Tekapo Springs staff were thrilled to see dreams become reality

As of November 25 fibre glass spraying and painting of the adultsrsquo pool had been completed with fibre glass spraying commencing on the childrenrsquos cold pool a few days after

Karl says as the pools literally took shape on a daily basis staff could start to get a sense of what they would be delivering to guests

A helping handThe design concept of the pools came from Karl himself and he even completed some of the earth and civil works while co-ordinating the whole project

Although Karl played a major hand in bringing the new additions to life he received a wide slot of help from both local companies and others from around New Zealand

Those involved included H2O Water Systems from Auckland doing the pool plant High Country Carpentry from Fairlie doing all the building and formwork Stephen Styles Block and Brick doing block work Murray Linton Concrete doing concrete laying Reflex Industrial doing fibre glassing and Damon Smith Electrical and Prolec (Professional Electric) from Christchurch doing controls and automation

The perfect spotTekapo Springs is nestled on the shores of stunning Lake Tekapo boasting a unique mix of summer and winter recreation and relaxation

Open 364 days a year the attraction already includes three existing outdoor hot pools a steam and sauna facility an ice rink water slides summer and winter tubing a day spa cafeacute and fully licensed bar

The company has evolved into a year-round ldquomust-dordquo on the bucket list of many visitors to the South Island as well as stamping its mark as an important centrepiece in the Tekapo community

The new pools are a testament to the companyrsquos drive to grow and develop while continuously exceeding customer expectations The three new pools help step-up Tekapo Springsrsquo summer offering and put it among one of the countryrsquos leading tourism operators CT

Finance | Hamilton Hindin Greene

Christchurch businesses are all too familiar with the struggles and obstacles that come with upheaving an office and moving to a new location One local business that understands the struggle all too well is Hamilton Hindin Greene

The investment advisory firm has endured a turbulent and unsettled time since the February 2011 earthquake It has almost consistently been on the move from one premise to the next moving offices five times in the last five years

CEO Ian Perry explains that one day before the earthquake Hamilton Hindin Greene shifted from its office on Hereford Street in the old National Bank building where it had been based for 30 years to the BDO building on Victoria Street When the February quake struck it had just over a day to move everything out of the damaged building but luckily no one was hurt Ian says

In the following chaos it moved to a space above the Dinghyrsquos amp Outboards warehouse on Lincoln Road ldquothen that got knocked downrdquo In 2012 it shifted into a brand new building on Manchester Street called Westende House

ldquoIt was 140 percent up to code and we thought it was going to be our permanent location Then suddenly we got notice when the councilrsquos transport plan was released that the planners had decided they wanted to purchase the building to knock it down and widen the road

ldquoFinally in June 2014 we moved into where we are today at level 1 83 Victoria Street The office is located on the corner of Peterborough Street and hopefully wersquoll never have to move againrdquo

What Hamilton Hindin Greene can do for you Hamilton Hindin Greene is a boutique personalised and specialist investment advisory service It has evolved from solely operating as a share broker when it was established almost a century ago to the diverse investment advisory firm it is today

ldquoWe are no longer the traditional share broker who just deals in New Zealand shares We are investment advisors who use a diversified approach to investing in local and international shares and bonds to provide investment solutions to a range of peoplerdquo

Clients are paired with a personal advisor who takes them through the investment planning process to develop a risk profile for the particular objectives they want to achieve

The advisor then builds a bespoke profile using local Australian and international shares ldquoWe help them to select the right mix of good quality companies so over the long term theyrsquoll make an appropriate return for the risk they want to takerdquo

The advisor oversees the day to day running of clients portfolios and provides advice on potential outcomes of their investments ldquoOur advice is always customised to that particular individuals needsrdquo CT

The organ is the grandest of instruments Itrsquos been referred to as the closest to heaven instrument on earth with a sound thatrsquos powerful rich and deeply moving

Restoring heritage pieces to their former glory

Keeping such instruments in pristine working order is a highly specialised craft One company that has these skills in such a niche field is the South Island Organ Company (SIOC) based in Timaru

Established in 1968 SIOC has been in continuous operation now for nearly 50 years The company offers tuning and maintenance of organs historic restorations and artistic rebuilds as well as new organ builds throughout New Zealand and overseas They are widely recognised as one of the leading firms specialising in pipe organ restoration and rebuilding

The SIOC has worked on literally hundreds of organs Some of the projects have been very large and complex such as their current restoration of Wellingtonrsquos fabulous 1906 Town Hall organ In 1997 at St Patrickrsquos Basilica Fremantle they rebuilt the largest church organ in Australia In 2008 they rebuilt the organ in UWArsquos Winthrop Hall and in 2010 the interconnected organs of St Maryrsquos Cathedral both in the city of Perth

Back in New Zealand a very special project completed late last year was the rebuild of the historic organ of Knox Presbyterian Church in Christchurch after both church and organ were badly damaged in the 201011 earthquakes

SIOCrsquos 12 man team reconstructed the original organ added some more pipes and a digital transmission to facilitate the mobilised and

ldquoEverything we do is quality old-fashioned craftsmanship made to last or to be restored We are not in the throw away utility market but in the heritage market creating one-off pieces that are going to become art works of the futurerdquo CT

adapted 1914 console in accordance with the Churchrsquos stated mission to provide a flexible concert space in the inner city

This project is a clear example of the way SIOC can incorporate leading-edge technology such as computerised digital playing aids and playback systems into organ restorations and rebuilds without compromising heritage

There is however another aspect to the work of the SIOC which may seem unrelated ndash but actually there is a connection The company can also restore precious antique furniture and create new custom joinery

This side of the operation is led by Zack Bennett a specialist in antique furniture restoration in carving and in sculpture as well as in the design and manufacture of customised joinery Zack is about to direct restoration of the historic 19th century reredos in St Saviourrsquos church in Lyttelton ndash a highly intricate project involving earthquake damaged timber and ceramic tiles So diversification is definitely the name of the game for the SIOC

You may recognise Solar Bright as the company behind the solar-powered table in the city centrersquos ReStart mall which visitors could use to charge their mobile devices that were running low

The table which was on loan to the council has now been relocated to a new home at Burnside High School Being the largest school in the South Island the team at Solar Bright donated the table to the school knowing they would get good use out of it

It seems the team at Solar Bright has not stopped since then They have created and installed five more tables that are dotted around the city have had interest from North Canterbury and Auckland City Council for similar products and have even installed a solar shelter in Linwood for people to charge their devices in

Managing director Nicola Martin explains that the hunger for electricity is growing dramatically and solar energy provides an effective solution

ldquoItrsquos just using what naturersquos already given us Itrsquos a renewable source of energy and means not having to rely solely on electricityrdquo

At the moment Solar Bright is also trialling the charging tables at the McDonaldrsquos restaurants on Moorhouse Ave and in Sydenham The idea is to see how the technology will work indoors and what kind of savings the chains will make on electricity bills as customers are increasingly using power points in store to charge their devices with

Nicola explained that these solar powered charging outlets are a great solution to electricity blackouts If power were ever cut from the city again people would have places like the tables and shelters to use to make sure their mobiles and devices stay on the green light making sure communication methods are protected during emergencies

But charging mobile phones and tablets ar e not the only good ideas Solar Bright has In 2012 Nicolarsquos husband and inventor of their products

Pat Martin realised the need for the detection of frost on roads and came up with PATeye technology

It is again solar powered via the sun and headlights from cars during the night and works the same sort of way that cats eyes currently do on roads around the world

With PATeye the devices installed on roads will flash blue LED lights when the air temperature reaches a certain level to warn people of the potential dangers of slipping

Due to regulations around the world it may take a little while for Solar Bright to weave through the legislation of installing the device on public roads but for now they are rolling out PATeyes on private roads car parks and pathways

Lincoln University Kiwi Rail Dunedin City Council Christchurch Polytechnic and even private NHS roads in the UK are just some of the institutions already using the technology

Solar Bright won two awards at this yearrsquos Champion Canterbury Awards for the Champion Producer Manufacturer as a small enterprise and the CDC Innovation Award for its ldquoinnovative sustainable energy-efficient lighting solutions which enhance safety and lifestyle both domestically and internationallyrdquo CT

Interior design is no longer a stand-alone field it blends seamlessly into so many other areas of life setting the scene for a larger picture incorporating art retail and fine foods

The art of interior designInterior designer and co-owner of Frobisher Interiors Ann-Marie Appleton saw the opportunity to bring together these complementing crafts into one location and create an entirely new interior design experience in Christchurch She and her team at Frobisher Interiors proudly opened the innovative new store on Manchester Street a year ago

The completely modern take on the store is unlike anything around ldquoWe are the only interior design business in the city that encompasses everything that interior design is about in one building Wersquove gone far beyond what is traditionally expected from an interior design shoprdquo

The industry leading store is a complete interior design shopping experience beautifully flowing uninterrupted from a coffee shop meeting space retail store fabric samples area to art gallery

The blended retail space offers everything and anything you might need ldquoThe draw card initially for customers especially for people who donrsquot know us as interior designers is the coffee shop and meeting space From there they can see beyond into the retail space which is adorned with beautiful little gifts and lovely things to buy for the home to larger items such as furniture and our interior design servicerdquo

Frobisher Interiors previously operated from a small villa in Merivale which was too small for

its needs The villa only just housed the team of staff restricted the number of samples on display and failed to properly showcase its work

When it came time to look for bigger premises it was a case of lsquogo big or go homersquo Ann-Marie says they looked at the big picture and made a massive wish list of everything they wanted in the new location then set to work making it a reality

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Designed to handle any load

cab chassis ldquoWe used to make the floor of a tipdeck to 6mm but with Hardox we can make them out of 4mm steel which makes a big difference to the weightrdquo

Quick turn around If you need a tipper body fast at a competitive rate Brokenshire Engineering is the team to call It has truck bodies in stock right now that can be custom-painted and fitted to a truck within two weeks But if you canrsquot find the right body in stock Brokenshire can custom-build paint install the pump oil tank and gas controls and fit it to the truck for just $45000 plus GST

Unparalleled products Brokenshirersquos ability to design and built anything for truck and trailers is unparalleled It builds new semi-tipper truck bodies and is the only business in the country that makes smooth surfaced runner-less tipper bodies

ldquoWe are the only people who make runner-less tipper bodies Most tipper bodies have got channels on them we donrsquot use channels This is the latest European designrdquo

It can also convert hydraulic truck breaks to an air break system and has three and five tonne full air axels on air suspension or springs available Henry has been in the transport engineering industry for 50 years and he says this experience in the industry means he can take on the difficult jobs that other people donrsquot want to CT

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Therersquos a big focus on getting everyone involved including parents some of whom go on to achieve their lifeguard award CT

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

Kiwi Regional Airlines - itrsquos the way we always imagined air travel should be With good old fashion onboard service decent plunger coffee a selection of teas and low fares New Zealandrsquos newest airline has taken off Kiwi Regional Airlines is the first commercial airline in more than a decade to be approved

Air travel the way we always imagined it should befor take off It obtained its Air Operating Certificate from the Civil Aviation Authority in October which meant it could join the likes of Air New Zealand and Jetstar as a large aircraft commercial airline

ldquoObtaining our Air Operating Certificate is a huge achievement It enables us to operate a regular passenger service within New Zealand using the Saab 340 airliner The last time a New Zealand airline got issued the same type of certificate was Pacific Blue well over 10 years agordquo chief executive Ewan Wilson says

But the only independently owned and operated airline in the country isnrsquot going into competition with the large airlines Ewan says it aims to carve out a niche for itself in the regional centres

ldquoWe deliberately avoid direct competition with Air New Zealand and Jetstar by developing regional to regional routesrdquo He says its goal is to develop its niche markets stay disciplined respond to customer demand and provide a safe sustainable air service to regional New Zealand

The fledging airline services Hamilton Nelson Dunedin and Tauranga Its route network flies direct from Hamilton to Nelson Nelson to Dunedin and Tauranga to Nelson It operated its first scheduled passenger service on October 27 and has received amazing support on the Dunedin direct to Nelson service and Nelson direct to Hamilton

Charter flights In addition to its regular passenger transportation Kiwi Regional Airlines offers charter flight services to almost any destination in New Zealand The charter flights are serviced in its Saab 340 airliner which seats up to 34 passengers and comes with two pilots and a flight attendant CT

Back in the 1980s I trained for and gained a Private Pilotrsquos Licence (PPL) Although quite a number of years have passed since then I have never forgotten the joy and exhilaration of being in the air watching the world go by below There is an immense feeling of freedom to this recreational activity and every time you fly it is different in some way Other people such as Richie McCaw know the wonder of aviation and it is there for the taking

Take a trial flight at the South Canterbury Aero Club and see if you donrsquot become addicted

The South Canterbury Aero Club offers a superb environment and location for people to learn to fly whatever their reason for doing this may be Perhaps they are looking for a career in aviation or wish only to fly for recreation either way the South Canterbury Aero Club can cater for all needs from new students right through to commercial pilot training and beyond

The club operates from Timarursquos Richard Pearse airport a spectacular setting within easy flying

The club has a rich history in New Zealandrsquos aviation training and participation Flight training first began in South Canterbury in 1930 at Washdyke and then moved to the Saltwater Creek in 1932 In November 1946 the South Canterbury Aero Club was incorporated and moved to its present site at the Timaru Airport in 1953 For more details of the history of aviation in South Canterbury have a look at the book Wings over South Canterbury by D E Drake

Today the club is staffed by highly professional qualified people who all spend many hours each year upskilling themselves through further training Your safety is ensured every time you lift off with the experience and knowledge found in their cockpits

The club has three aircraft in its fleet Its two Piper Tomahawks are primarily used for flight training while the Piper Archer a four seater cross country aircraft is used for the clubrsquos commercial sightseeing operations

And thatrsquos another aspect of the South Canterbury Aero Clubrsquos operation for those who do not want to learn to fly themselves There are a number of pre-planned scenic flights to choose from or customers can design their own

You could fly to AorakiMt Cook to Glentanner or to Omarama to the Arundel ponds to Lake Tekapo or the Ashburton Lakes The skyrsquos the limit - so to speak Not only does the club offer scenic flights but they also do charter work and aerial photography

The South Canterbury Aero Clubrsquos operation is routinely audited to ensure the most efficient and

safe service is provided to customers and all activities are carried out under the Civil Aviation Authorityrsquos Certification

Proudly Supporting Window Treatments for over 10 Years

As New Zealandrsquos largest independently owned blind shutter awning and insect screen manufacturing and retail company Window Treatments offer products that follow the latest international trends

The company has retail stores and mobile showrooms throughout the country including nine across the South Island

It has an exciting range of new products available for the summer season including exterior awnings that are designed for longevity in harsh coastal environments

Owner Graeme Rose says the Palladio cassetted folding arm awning is a new generation awning ideal for home patios shops and kiosks offering unobstructed passage underneath It is made from aluminium marine-grade stainless steel fittings and fabrics designed for the outdoors

ldquoPalladio is fully cassetted so it protects the fabric when the awning is retractedrdquo he says

ldquoIt can cover everything up to seven metres in width and a projection of up to 36 metres Itrsquos very large and is ideal for creating that indoor-outdoor environment where you want sun or wind protectionrdquo

Other new awnings from Window Treatments include the Italia box radial arm awning which is ideal for both residential and commercial installations and the Terrazza pergola awning

Graeme says another exciting new product is the Securo side roller blind which rolls from side to side rather than up and down like a conventional roller blind

ldquoItrsquos particularly good for ranch sliders where you need some light control and it also doubles as an insect screen The beauty is you can roll it back just enough to get outside while still having your ranch slider open With a conventional roller blind yoursquod have to roll it right up to go through the doorrdquo

A Terrazza pergola awning from Window Treatments

Interior shutters have become a popular choice for their functionality and good looks

Terrazza awnings from Window Treatments are ideal for cafes bars and restaurants

Focus | Tekapo Springs

Tekapo Springs is a year-round attraction beloved by visitors from across the globe In early 2015 the resort announced plans to open new multi-million dollar facilities for visitors families and locals to enjoy from late December onwards ndash and itrsquos finally here

New pools take Tekapo Springs to the next level

The new additions include three new pool areas including an aqua playspray area for kids and teens a beach accessed kidsrsquo pool and an adultsrsquo deep water pool

The pools all run at cooler water temperatures of 33 degrees Celsius for the kidsrsquo pool and aqua play area and 28 degrees Celsius for the adultsrsquo pool

Tekapo Springs owner and managing director Karl Burtscher says the aim is to offer a dditional entertaining aquatic options for families children and adults He also says the need to offer a wider temperature range of pool water was important especially during the summer months

Karl explains that the new additions completely open up the resort and create even more

opportunities for guests to gaze upon Lake Tekapo while enjoying the facilities

ldquoYou can now get down to pool level and really appreciate the views from the new adult pool in particular which quite possibly will have the best overall views down Lake Tekapo of any of the pools ndash old and newrdquo

The new pool additions themed lsquoHigh Country Tarnsrsquo each with its own distinctive shade of aqua green ndash were designed to complement the three existing hot pools and are part of Tekapo Springsrsquo long term growth strategy for expanding its aquatic attractions and offering a wider range of water temperatures and features

The new pools will also run through winter depending on outside weather temperatures

Focus | Tekapo Springs

A tight scheduleSince the first sod was turned on September 1 2015 progress was swift and exciting With the new pools taking shape and initial landscaping underway Tekapo Springs staff were thrilled to see dreams become reality

As of November 25 fibre glass spraying and painting of the adultsrsquo pool had been completed with fibre glass spraying commencing on the childrenrsquos cold pool a few days after

Karl says as the pools literally took shape on a daily basis staff could start to get a sense of what they would be delivering to guests

A helping handThe design concept of the pools came from Karl himself and he even completed some of the earth and civil works while co-ordinating the whole project

Although Karl played a major hand in bringing the new additions to life he received a wide slot of help from both local companies and others from around New Zealand

Those involved included H2O Water Systems from Auckland doing the pool plant High Country Carpentry from Fairlie doing all the building and formwork Stephen Styles Block and Brick doing block work Murray Linton Concrete doing concrete laying Reflex Industrial doing fibre glassing and Damon Smith Electrical and Prolec (Professional Electric) from Christchurch doing controls and automation

The perfect spotTekapo Springs is nestled on the shores of stunning Lake Tekapo boasting a unique mix of summer and winter recreation and relaxation

Open 364 days a year the attraction already includes three existing outdoor hot pools a steam and sauna facility an ice rink water slides summer and winter tubing a day spa cafeacute and fully licensed bar

The company has evolved into a year-round ldquomust-dordquo on the bucket list of many visitors to the South Island as well as stamping its mark as an important centrepiece in the Tekapo community

The new pools are a testament to the companyrsquos drive to grow and develop while continuously exceeding customer expectations The three new pools help step-up Tekapo Springsrsquo summer offering and put it among one of the countryrsquos leading tourism operators CT

Finance | Hamilton Hindin Greene

Christchurch businesses are all too familiar with the struggles and obstacles that come with upheaving an office and moving to a new location One local business that understands the struggle all too well is Hamilton Hindin Greene

The investment advisory firm has endured a turbulent and unsettled time since the February 2011 earthquake It has almost consistently been on the move from one premise to the next moving offices five times in the last five years

CEO Ian Perry explains that one day before the earthquake Hamilton Hindin Greene shifted from its office on Hereford Street in the old National Bank building where it had been based for 30 years to the BDO building on Victoria Street When the February quake struck it had just over a day to move everything out of the damaged building but luckily no one was hurt Ian says

In the following chaos it moved to a space above the Dinghyrsquos amp Outboards warehouse on Lincoln Road ldquothen that got knocked downrdquo In 2012 it shifted into a brand new building on Manchester Street called Westende House

ldquoIt was 140 percent up to code and we thought it was going to be our permanent location Then suddenly we got notice when the councilrsquos transport plan was released that the planners had decided they wanted to purchase the building to knock it down and widen the road

ldquoFinally in June 2014 we moved into where we are today at level 1 83 Victoria Street The office is located on the corner of Peterborough Street and hopefully wersquoll never have to move againrdquo

What Hamilton Hindin Greene can do for you Hamilton Hindin Greene is a boutique personalised and specialist investment advisory service It has evolved from solely operating as a share broker when it was established almost a century ago to the diverse investment advisory firm it is today

ldquoWe are no longer the traditional share broker who just deals in New Zealand shares We are investment advisors who use a diversified approach to investing in local and international shares and bonds to provide investment solutions to a range of peoplerdquo

Clients are paired with a personal advisor who takes them through the investment planning process to develop a risk profile for the particular objectives they want to achieve

The advisor oversees the day to day running of clients portfolios and provides advice on potential outcomes of their investments ldquoOur advice is always customised to that particular individuals needsrdquo CT

The organ is the grandest of instruments Itrsquos been referred to as the closest to heaven instrument on earth with a sound thatrsquos powerful rich and deeply moving

Restoring heritage pieces to their former glory

Keeping such instruments in pristine working order is a highly specialised craft One company that has these skills in such a niche field is the South Island Organ Company (SIOC) based in Timaru

Established in 1968 SIOC has been in continuous operation now for nearly 50 years The company offers tuning and maintenance of organs historic restorations and artistic rebuilds as well as new organ builds throughout New Zealand and overseas They are widely recognised as one of the leading firms specialising in pipe organ restoration and rebuilding

The SIOC has worked on literally hundreds of organs Some of the projects have been very large and complex such as their current restoration of Wellingtonrsquos fabulous 1906 Town Hall organ In 1997 at St Patrickrsquos Basilica Fremantle they rebuilt the largest church organ in Australia In 2008 they rebuilt the organ in UWArsquos Winthrop Hall and in 2010 the interconnected organs of St Maryrsquos Cathedral both in the city of Perth

Back in New Zealand a very special project completed late last year was the rebuild of the historic organ of Knox Presbyterian Church in Christchurch after both church and organ were badly damaged in the 201011 earthquakes

SIOCrsquos 12 man team reconstructed the original organ added some more pipes and a digital transmission to facilitate the mobilised and

ldquoEverything we do is quality old-fashioned craftsmanship made to last or to be restored We are not in the throw away utility market but in the heritage market creating one-off pieces that are going to become art works of the futurerdquo CT

adapted 1914 console in accordance with the Churchrsquos stated mission to provide a flexible concert space in the inner city

This project is a clear example of the way SIOC can incorporate leading-edge technology such as computerised digital playing aids and playback systems into organ restorations and rebuilds without compromising heritage

There is however another aspect to the work of the SIOC which may seem unrelated ndash but actually there is a connection The company can also restore precious antique furniture and create new custom joinery

This side of the operation is led by Zack Bennett a specialist in antique furniture restoration in carving and in sculpture as well as in the design and manufacture of customised joinery Zack is about to direct restoration of the historic 19th century reredos in St Saviourrsquos church in Lyttelton ndash a highly intricate project involving earthquake damaged timber and ceramic tiles So diversification is definitely the name of the game for the SIOC

An ever increasing social conscience about energy use and the effect it has on our environment is causing companies like Solar Bright to look into alternative options Using solar power technology the Christchurch-based team is making leaps and bounds with energy-generating products which are spreading throughout the city and beyond

You may recognise Solar Bright as the company behind the solar-powered table in the city centrersquos ReStart mall which visitors could use to charge their mobile devices that were running low

The table which was on loan to the council has now been relocated to a new home at Burnside High School Being the largest school in the South Island the team at Solar Bright donated the table to the school knowing they would get good use out of it

It seems the team at Solar Bright has not stopped since then They have created and installed five more tables that are dotted around the city have had interest from North Canterbury and Auckland City Council for similar products and have even installed a solar shelter in Linwood for people to charge their devices in

Managing director Nicola Martin explains that the hunger for electricity is growing dramatically and solar energy provides an effective solution

ldquoItrsquos just using what naturersquos already given us Itrsquos a renewable source of energy and means not having to rely solely on electricityrdquo

At the moment Solar Bright is also trialling the charging tables at the McDonaldrsquos restaurants on Moorhouse Ave and in Sydenham The idea is to see how the technology will work indoors and what kind of savings the chains will make on electricity bills as customers are increasingly using power points in store to charge their devices with

Nicola explained that these solar powered charging outlets are a great solution to electricity blackouts If power were ever cut from the city again people would have places like the tables and shelters to use to make sure their mobiles and devices stay on the green light making sure communication methods are protected during emergencies

But charging mobile phones and tablets ar e not the only good ideas Solar Bright has In 2012 Nicolarsquos husband and inventor of their products

Pat Martin realised the need for the detection of frost on roads and came up with PATeye technology

It is again solar powered via the sun and headlights from cars during the night and works the same sort of way that cats eyes currently do on roads around the world

With PATeye the devices installed on roads will flash blue LED lights when the air temperature reaches a certain level to warn people of the potential dangers of slipping

Due to regulations around the world it may take a little while for Solar Bright to weave through the legislation of installing the device on public roads but for now they are rolling out PATeyes on private roads car parks and pathways

Lincoln University Kiwi Rail Dunedin City Council Christchurch Polytechnic and even private NHS roads in the UK are just some of the institutions already using the technology

Solar Bright won two awards at this yearrsquos Champion Canterbury Awards for the Champion Producer Manufacturer as a small enterprise and the CDC Innovation Award for its ldquoinnovative sustainable energy-efficient lighting solutions which enhance safety and lifestyle both domestically and internationallyrdquo CT

Interior design is no longer a stand-alone field it blends seamlessly into so many other areas of life setting the scene for a larger picture incorporating art retail and fine foods

The art of interior designInterior designer and co-owner of Frobisher Interiors Ann-Marie Appleton saw the opportunity to bring together these complementing crafts into one location and create an entirely new interior design experience in Christchurch She and her team at Frobisher Interiors proudly opened the innovative new store on Manchester Street a year ago

The completely modern take on the store is unlike anything around ldquoWe are the only interior design business in the city that encompasses everything that interior design is about in one building Wersquove gone far beyond what is traditionally expected from an interior design shoprdquo

The industry leading store is a complete interior design shopping experience beautifully flowing uninterrupted from a coffee shop meeting space retail store fabric samples area to art gallery

The blended retail space offers everything and anything you might need ldquoThe draw card initially for customers especially for people who donrsquot know us as interior designers is the coffee shop and meeting space From there they can see beyond into the retail space which is adorned with beautiful little gifts and lovely things to buy for the home to larger items such as furniture and our interior design servicerdquo

Frobisher Interiors previously operated from a small villa in Merivale which was too small for

its needs The villa only just housed the team of staff restricted the number of samples on display and failed to properly showcase its work

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Designed to handle any load

Projects range from new homes and buildings to alterations within existing structures additions and furniture design

offering a range of quality services including residential commercial industrial hospitality and community projects

Wulf says his practice is committed to providing only high quality design and undertakes thorough communication with clients consultants contractors and end users throughout the process

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

But the only independently owned and operated airline in the country isnrsquot going into competition with the large airlines Ewan says it aims to carve out a niche for itself in the regional centres

ldquoWe deliberately avoid direct competition with Air New Zealand and Jetstar by developing regional to regional routesrdquo He says its goal is to develop its niche markets stay disciplined respond to customer demand and provide a safe sustainable air service to regional New Zealand

The fledging airline services Hamilton Nelson Dunedin and Tauranga Its route network flies direct from Hamilton to Nelson Nelson to Dunedin and Tauranga to Nelson It operated its first scheduled passenger service on October 27 and has received amazing support on the Dunedin direct to Nelson service and Nelson direct to Hamilton

Back in the 1980s I trained for and gained a Private Pilotrsquos Licence (PPL) Although quite a number of years have passed since then I have never forgotten the joy and exhilaration of being in the air watching the world go by below There is an immense feeling of freedom to this recreational activity and every time you fly it is different in some way Other people such as Richie McCaw know the wonder of aviation and it is there for the taking

Take a trial flight at the South Canterbury Aero Club and see if you donrsquot become addicted

The South Canterbury Aero Club offers a superb environment and location for people to learn to fly whatever their reason for doing this may be Perhaps they are looking for a career in aviation or wish only to fly for recreation either way the South Canterbury Aero Club can cater for all needs from new students right through to commercial pilot training and beyond

The club operates from Timarursquos Richard Pearse airport a spectacular setting within easy flying

The club has a rich history in New Zealandrsquos aviation training and participation Flight training first began in South Canterbury in 1930 at Washdyke and then moved to the Saltwater Creek in 1932 In November 1946 the South Canterbury Aero Club was incorporated and moved to its present site at the Timaru Airport in 1953 For more details of the history of aviation in South Canterbury have a look at the book Wings over South Canterbury by D E Drake

Today the club is staffed by highly professional qualified people who all spend many hours each year upskilling themselves through further training Your safety is ensured every time you lift off with the experience and knowledge found in their cockpits

The club has three aircraft in its fleet Its two Piper Tomahawks are primarily used for flight training while the Piper Archer a four seater cross country aircraft is used for the clubrsquos commercial sightseeing operations

And thatrsquos another aspect of the South Canterbury Aero Clubrsquos operation for those who do not want to learn to fly themselves There are a number of pre-planned scenic flights to choose from or customers can design their own

You could fly to AorakiMt Cook to Glentanner or to Omarama to the Arundel ponds to Lake Tekapo or the Ashburton Lakes The skyrsquos the limit - so to speak Not only does the club offer scenic flights but they also do charter work and aerial photography

Proudly Supporting Window Treatments for over 10 Years

As New Zealandrsquos largest independently owned blind shutter awning and insect screen manufacturing and retail company Window Treatments offer products that follow the latest international trends

The company has retail stores and mobile showrooms throughout the country including nine across the South Island

It has an exciting range of new products available for the summer season including exterior awnings that are designed for longevity in harsh coastal environments

Owner Graeme Rose says the Palladio cassetted folding arm awning is a new generation awning ideal for home patios shops and kiosks offering unobstructed passage underneath It is made from aluminium marine-grade stainless steel fittings and fabrics designed for the outdoors

ldquoPalladio is fully cassetted so it protects the fabric when the awning is retractedrdquo he says

ldquoIt can cover everything up to seven metres in width and a projection of up to 36 metres Itrsquos very large and is ideal for creating that indoor-outdoor environment where you want sun or wind protectionrdquo

Other new awnings from Window Treatments include the Italia box radial arm awning which is ideal for both residential and commercial installations and the Terrazza pergola awning

Graeme says another exciting new product is the Securo side roller blind which rolls from side to side rather than up and down like a conventional roller blind

ldquoItrsquos particularly good for ranch sliders where you need some light control and it also doubles as an insect screen The beauty is you can roll it back just enough to get outside while still having your ranch slider open With a conventional roller blind yoursquod have to roll it right up to go through the doorrdquo

Focus | Tekapo Springs

Tekapo Springs is a year-round attraction beloved by visitors from across the globe In early 2015 the resort announced plans to open new multi-million dollar facilities for visitors families and locals to enjoy from late December onwards ndash and itrsquos finally here

New pools take Tekapo Springs to the next level

The new additions include three new pool areas including an aqua playspray area for kids and teens a beach accessed kidsrsquo pool and an adultsrsquo deep water pool

The pools all run at cooler water temperatures of 33 degrees Celsius for the kidsrsquo pool and aqua play area and 28 degrees Celsius for the adultsrsquo pool

Tekapo Springs owner and managing director Karl Burtscher says the aim is to offer a dditional entertaining aquatic options for families children and adults He also says the need to offer a wider temperature range of pool water was important especially during the summer months

Karl explains that the new additions completely open up the resort and create even more

opportunities for guests to gaze upon Lake Tekapo while enjoying the facilities

ldquoYou can now get down to pool level and really appreciate the views from the new adult pool in particular which quite possibly will have the best overall views down Lake Tekapo of any of the pools ndash old and newrdquo

The new pool additions themed lsquoHigh Country Tarnsrsquo each with its own distinctive shade of aqua green ndash were designed to complement the three existing hot pools and are part of Tekapo Springsrsquo long term growth strategy for expanding its aquatic attractions and offering a wider range of water temperatures and features

The new pools will also run through winter depending on outside weather temperatures

Focus | Tekapo Springs

A tight scheduleSince the first sod was turned on September 1 2015 progress was swift and exciting With the new pools taking shape and initial landscaping underway Tekapo Springs staff were thrilled to see dreams become reality

As of November 25 fibre glass spraying and painting of the adultsrsquo pool had been completed with fibre glass spraying commencing on the childrenrsquos cold pool a few days after

Karl says as the pools literally took shape on a daily basis staff could start to get a sense of what they would be delivering to guests

A helping handThe design concept of the pools came from Karl himself and he even completed some of the earth and civil works while co-ordinating the whole project

Although Karl played a major hand in bringing the new additions to life he received a wide slot of help from both local companies and others from around New Zealand

Those involved included H2O Water Systems from Auckland doing the pool plant High Country Carpentry from Fairlie doing all the building and formwork Stephen Styles Block and Brick doing block work Murray Linton Concrete doing concrete laying Reflex Industrial doing fibre glassing and Damon Smith Electrical and Prolec (Professional Electric) from Christchurch doing controls and automation

The perfect spotTekapo Springs is nestled on the shores of stunning Lake Tekapo boasting a unique mix of summer and winter recreation and relaxation

Open 364 days a year the attraction already includes three existing outdoor hot pools a steam and sauna facility an ice rink water slides summer and winter tubing a day spa cafeacute and fully licensed bar

The company has evolved into a year-round ldquomust-dordquo on the bucket list of many visitors to the South Island as well as stamping its mark as an important centrepiece in the Tekapo community

The new pools are a testament to the companyrsquos drive to grow and develop while continuously exceeding customer expectations The three new pools help step-up Tekapo Springsrsquo summer offering and put it among one of the countryrsquos leading tourism operators CT

Finance | Hamilton Hindin Greene

Christchurch businesses are all too familiar with the struggles and obstacles that come with upheaving an office and moving to a new location One local business that understands the struggle all too well is Hamilton Hindin Greene

The investment advisory firm has endured a turbulent and unsettled time since the February 2011 earthquake It has almost consistently been on the move from one premise to the next moving offices five times in the last five years

CEO Ian Perry explains that one day before the earthquake Hamilton Hindin Greene shifted from its office on Hereford Street in the old National Bank building where it had been based for 30 years to the BDO building on Victoria Street When the February quake struck it had just over a day to move everything out of the damaged building but luckily no one was hurt Ian says

In the following chaos it moved to a space above the Dinghyrsquos amp Outboards warehouse on Lincoln Road ldquothen that got knocked downrdquo In 2012 it shifted into a brand new building on Manchester Street called Westende House

ldquoIt was 140 percent up to code and we thought it was going to be our permanent location Then suddenly we got notice when the councilrsquos transport plan was released that the planners had decided they wanted to purchase the building to knock it down and widen the road

ldquoFinally in June 2014 we moved into where we are today at level 1 83 Victoria Street The office is located on the corner of Peterborough Street and hopefully wersquoll never have to move againrdquo

What Hamilton Hindin Greene can do for you Hamilton Hindin Greene is a boutique personalised and specialist investment advisory service It has evolved from solely operating as a share broker when it was established almost a century ago to the diverse investment advisory firm it is today

ldquoWe are no longer the traditional share broker who just deals in New Zealand shares We are investment advisors who use a diversified approach to investing in local and international shares and bonds to provide investment solutions to a range of peoplerdquo

Clients are paired with a personal advisor who takes them through the investment planning process to develop a risk profile for the particular objectives they want to achieve

The advisor then builds a bespoke profile using local Australian and international shares ldquoWe help them to select the right mix of good quality companies so over the long term theyrsquoll make an appropriate return for the risk they want to takerdquo

The advisor oversees the day to day running of clients portfolios and provides advice on potential outcomes of their investments ldquoOur advice is always customised to that particular individuals needsrdquo CT

The organ is the grandest of instruments Itrsquos been referred to as the closest to heaven instrument on earth with a sound thatrsquos powerful rich and deeply moving

Restoring heritage pieces to their former glory

Keeping such instruments in pristine working order is a highly specialised craft One company that has these skills in such a niche field is the South Island Organ Company (SIOC) based in Timaru

Established in 1968 SIOC has been in continuous operation now for nearly 50 years The company offers tuning and maintenance of organs historic restorations and artistic rebuilds as well as new organ builds throughout New Zealand and overseas They are widely recognised as one of the leading firms specialising in pipe organ restoration and rebuilding

The SIOC has worked on literally hundreds of organs Some of the projects have been very large and complex such as their current restoration of Wellingtonrsquos fabulous 1906 Town Hall organ In 1997 at St Patrickrsquos Basilica Fremantle they rebuilt the largest church organ in Australia In 2008 they rebuilt the organ in UWArsquos Winthrop Hall and in 2010 the interconnected organs of St Maryrsquos Cathedral both in the city of Perth

Back in New Zealand a very special project completed late last year was the rebuild of the historic organ of Knox Presbyterian Church in Christchurch after both church and organ were badly damaged in the 201011 earthquakes

SIOCrsquos 12 man team reconstructed the original organ added some more pipes and a digital transmission to facilitate the mobilised and

ldquoEverything we do is quality old-fashioned craftsmanship made to last or to be restored We are not in the throw away utility market but in the heritage market creating one-off pieces that are going to become art works of the futurerdquo CT

adapted 1914 console in accordance with the Churchrsquos stated mission to provide a flexible concert space in the inner city

This project is a clear example of the way SIOC can incorporate leading-edge technology such as computerised digital playing aids and playback systems into organ restorations and rebuilds without compromising heritage

There is however another aspect to the work of the SIOC which may seem unrelated ndash but actually there is a connection The company can also restore precious antique furniture and create new custom joinery

This side of the operation is led by Zack Bennett a specialist in antique furniture restoration in carving and in sculpture as well as in the design and manufacture of customised joinery Zack is about to direct restoration of the historic 19th century reredos in St Saviourrsquos church in Lyttelton ndash a highly intricate project involving earthquake damaged timber and ceramic tiles So diversification is definitely the name of the game for the SIOC

The table which was on loan to the council has now been relocated to a new home at Burnside High School Being the largest school in the South Island the team at Solar Bright donated the table to the school knowing they would get good use out of it

It seems the team at Solar Bright has not stopped since then They have created and installed five more tables that are dotted around the city have had interest from North Canterbury and Auckland City Council for similar products and have even installed a solar shelter in Linwood for people to charge their devices in

Managing director Nicola Martin explains that the hunger for electricity is growing dramatically and solar energy provides an effective solution

ldquoItrsquos just using what naturersquos already given us Itrsquos a renewable source of energy and means not having to rely solely on electricityrdquo

At the moment Solar Bright is also trialling the charging tables at the McDonaldrsquos restaurants on Moorhouse Ave and in Sydenham The idea is to see how the technology will work indoors and what kind of savings the chains will make on electricity bills as customers are increasingly using power points in store to charge their devices with

Nicola explained that these solar powered charging outlets are a great solution to electricity blackouts If power were ever cut from the city again people would have places like the tables and shelters to use to make sure their mobiles and devices stay on the green light making sure communication methods are protected during emergencies

But charging mobile phones and tablets ar e not the only good ideas Solar Bright has In 2012 Nicolarsquos husband and inventor of their products

Pat Martin realised the need for the detection of frost on roads and came up with PATeye technology

It is again solar powered via the sun and headlights from cars during the night and works the same sort of way that cats eyes currently do on roads around the world

With PATeye the devices installed on roads will flash blue LED lights when the air temperature reaches a certain level to warn people of the potential dangers of slipping

Due to regulations around the world it may take a little while for Solar Bright to weave through the legislation of installing the device on public roads but for now they are rolling out PATeyes on private roads car parks and pathways

Lincoln University Kiwi Rail Dunedin City Council Christchurch Polytechnic and even private NHS roads in the UK are just some of the institutions already using the technology

Solar Bright won two awards at this yearrsquos Champion Canterbury Awards for the Champion Producer Manufacturer as a small enterprise and the CDC Innovation Award for its ldquoinnovative sustainable energy-efficient lighting solutions which enhance safety and lifestyle both domestically and internationallyrdquo CT

Interior design is no longer a stand-alone field it blends seamlessly into so many other areas of life setting the scene for a larger picture incorporating art retail and fine foods

The art of interior designInterior designer and co-owner of Frobisher Interiors Ann-Marie Appleton saw the opportunity to bring together these complementing crafts into one location and create an entirely new interior design experience in Christchurch She and her team at Frobisher Interiors proudly opened the innovative new store on Manchester Street a year ago

The completely modern take on the store is unlike anything around ldquoWe are the only interior design business in the city that encompasses everything that interior design is about in one building Wersquove gone far beyond what is traditionally expected from an interior design shoprdquo

The industry leading store is a complete interior design shopping experience beautifully flowing uninterrupted from a coffee shop meeting space retail store fabric samples area to art gallery

The blended retail space offers everything and anything you might need ldquoThe draw card initially for customers especially for people who donrsquot know us as interior designers is the coffee shop and meeting space From there they can see beyond into the retail space which is adorned with beautiful little gifts and lovely things to buy for the home to larger items such as furniture and our interior design servicerdquo

Frobisher Interiors previously operated from a small villa in Merivale which was too small for

its needs The villa only just housed the team of staff restricted the number of samples on display and failed to properly showcase its work

When it came time to look for bigger premises it was a case of lsquogo big or go homersquo Ann-Marie says they looked at the big picture and made a massive wish list of everything they wanted in the new location then set to work making it a reality

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Designed to handle any load

cab chassis ldquoWe used to make the floor of a tipdeck to 6mm but with Hardox we can make them out of 4mm steel which makes a big difference to the weightrdquo

Quick turn around If you need a tipper body fast at a competitive rate Brokenshire Engineering is the team to call It has truck bodies in stock right now that can be custom-painted and fitted to a truck within two weeks But if you canrsquot find the right body in stock Brokenshire can custom-build paint install the pump oil tank and gas controls and fit it to the truck for just $45000 plus GST

Unparalleled products Brokenshirersquos ability to design and built anything for truck and trailers is unparalleled It builds new semi-tipper truck bodies and is the only business in the country that makes smooth surfaced runner-less tipper bodies

ldquoWe are the only people who make runner-less tipper bodies Most tipper bodies have got channels on them we donrsquot use channels This is the latest European designrdquo

It can also convert hydraulic truck breaks to an air break system and has three and five tonne full air axels on air suspension or springs available Henry has been in the transport engineering industry for 50 years and he says this experience in the industry means he can take on the difficult jobs that other people donrsquot want to CT

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Therersquos a big focus on getting everyone involved including parents some of whom go on to achieve their lifeguard award CT

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

Back in the 1980s I trained for and gained a Private Pilotrsquos Licence (PPL) Although quite a number of years have passed since then I have never forgotten the joy and exhilaration of being in the air watching the world go by below There is an immense feeling of freedom to this recreational activity and every time you fly it is different in some way Other people such as Richie McCaw know the wonder of aviation and it is there for the taking

Take a trial flight at the South Canterbury Aero Club and see if you donrsquot become addicted

The South Canterbury Aero Club offers a superb environment and location for people to learn to fly whatever their reason for doing this may be Perhaps they are looking for a career in aviation or wish only to fly for recreation either way the South Canterbury Aero Club can cater for all needs from new students right through to commercial pilot training and beyond

Proudly Supporting Window Treatments for over 10 Years

As New Zealandrsquos largest independently owned blind shutter awning and insect screen manufacturing and retail company Window Treatments offer products that follow the latest international trends

The company has retail stores and mobile showrooms throughout the country including nine across the South Island

It has an exciting range of new products available for the summer season including exterior awnings that are designed for longevity in harsh coastal environments

Owner Graeme Rose says the Palladio cassetted folding arm awning is a new generation awning ideal for home patios shops and kiosks offering unobstructed passage underneath It is made from aluminium marine-grade stainless steel fittings and fabrics designed for the outdoors

ldquoPalladio is fully cassetted so it protects the fabric when the awning is retractedrdquo he says

ldquoIt can cover everything up to seven metres in width and a projection of up to 36 metres Itrsquos very large and is ideal for creating that indoor-outdoor environment where you want sun or wind protectionrdquo

Other new awnings from Window Treatments include the Italia box radial arm awning which is ideal for both residential and commercial installations and the Terrazza pergola awning

Graeme says another exciting new product is the Securo side roller blind which rolls from side to side rather than up and down like a conventional roller blind

ldquoItrsquos particularly good for ranch sliders where you need some light control and it also doubles as an insect screen The beauty is you can roll it back just enough to get outside while still having your ranch slider open With a conventional roller blind yoursquod have to roll it right up to go through the doorrdquo

Focus | Tekapo Springs

Tekapo Springs is a year-round attraction beloved by visitors from across the globe In early 2015 the resort announced plans to open new multi-million dollar facilities for visitors families and locals to enjoy from late December onwards ndash and itrsquos finally here

New pools take Tekapo Springs to the next level

The new additions include three new pool areas including an aqua playspray area for kids and teens a beach accessed kidsrsquo pool and an adultsrsquo deep water pool

The pools all run at cooler water temperatures of 33 degrees Celsius for the kidsrsquo pool and aqua play area and 28 degrees Celsius for the adultsrsquo pool

Tekapo Springs owner and managing director Karl Burtscher says the aim is to offer a dditional entertaining aquatic options for families children and adults He also says the need to offer a wider temperature range of pool water was important especially during the summer months

Karl explains that the new additions completely open up the resort and create even more

opportunities for guests to gaze upon Lake Tekapo while enjoying the facilities

ldquoYou can now get down to pool level and really appreciate the views from the new adult pool in particular which quite possibly will have the best overall views down Lake Tekapo of any of the pools ndash old and newrdquo

The new pool additions themed lsquoHigh Country Tarnsrsquo each with its own distinctive shade of aqua green ndash were designed to complement the three existing hot pools and are part of Tekapo Springsrsquo long term growth strategy for expanding its aquatic attractions and offering a wider range of water temperatures and features

The new pools will also run through winter depending on outside weather temperatures

Focus | Tekapo Springs

A tight scheduleSince the first sod was turned on September 1 2015 progress was swift and exciting With the new pools taking shape and initial landscaping underway Tekapo Springs staff were thrilled to see dreams become reality

As of November 25 fibre glass spraying and painting of the adultsrsquo pool had been completed with fibre glass spraying commencing on the childrenrsquos cold pool a few days after

Karl says as the pools literally took shape on a daily basis staff could start to get a sense of what they would be delivering to guests

A helping handThe design concept of the pools came from Karl himself and he even completed some of the earth and civil works while co-ordinating the whole project

Although Karl played a major hand in bringing the new additions to life he received a wide slot of help from both local companies and others from around New Zealand

Those involved included H2O Water Systems from Auckland doing the pool plant High Country Carpentry from Fairlie doing all the building and formwork Stephen Styles Block and Brick doing block work Murray Linton Concrete doing concrete laying Reflex Industrial doing fibre glassing and Damon Smith Electrical and Prolec (Professional Electric) from Christchurch doing controls and automation

Finance | Hamilton Hindin Greene

Christchurch businesses are all too familiar with the struggles and obstacles that come with upheaving an office and moving to a new location One local business that understands the struggle all too well is Hamilton Hindin Greene

The investment advisory firm has endured a turbulent and unsettled time since the February 2011 earthquake It has almost consistently been on the move from one premise to the next moving offices five times in the last five years

CEO Ian Perry explains that one day before the earthquake Hamilton Hindin Greene shifted from its office on Hereford Street in the old National Bank building where it had been based for 30 years to the BDO building on Victoria Street When the February quake struck it had just over a day to move everything out of the damaged building but luckily no one was hurt Ian says

In the following chaos it moved to a space above the Dinghyrsquos amp Outboards warehouse on Lincoln Road ldquothen that got knocked downrdquo In 2012 it shifted into a brand new building on Manchester Street called Westende House

ldquoIt was 140 percent up to code and we thought it was going to be our permanent location Then suddenly we got notice when the councilrsquos transport plan was released that the planners had decided they wanted to purchase the building to knock it down and widen the road

ldquoFinally in June 2014 we moved into where we are today at level 1 83 Victoria Street The office is located on the corner of Peterborough Street and hopefully wersquoll never have to move againrdquo

What Hamilton Hindin Greene can do for you Hamilton Hindin Greene is a boutique personalised and specialist investment advisory service It has evolved from solely operating as a share broker when it was established almost a century ago to the diverse investment advisory firm it is today

ldquoWe are no longer the traditional share broker who just deals in New Zealand shares We are investment advisors who use a diversified approach to investing in local and international shares and bonds to provide investment solutions to a range of peoplerdquo

Clients are paired with a personal advisor who takes them through the investment planning process to develop a risk profile for the particular objectives they want to achieve

The advisor then builds a bespoke profile using local Australian and international shares ldquoWe help them to select the right mix of good quality companies so over the long term theyrsquoll make an appropriate return for the risk they want to takerdquo

The advisor oversees the day to day running of clients portfolios and provides advice on potential outcomes of their investments ldquoOur advice is always customised to that particular individuals needsrdquo CT

The organ is the grandest of instruments Itrsquos been referred to as the closest to heaven instrument on earth with a sound thatrsquos powerful rich and deeply moving

Restoring heritage pieces to their former glory

Keeping such instruments in pristine working order is a highly specialised craft One company that has these skills in such a niche field is the South Island Organ Company (SIOC) based in Timaru

Established in 1968 SIOC has been in continuous operation now for nearly 50 years The company offers tuning and maintenance of organs historic restorations and artistic rebuilds as well as new organ builds throughout New Zealand and overseas They are widely recognised as one of the leading firms specialising in pipe organ restoration and rebuilding

The SIOC has worked on literally hundreds of organs Some of the projects have been very large and complex such as their current restoration of Wellingtonrsquos fabulous 1906 Town Hall organ In 1997 at St Patrickrsquos Basilica Fremantle they rebuilt the largest church organ in Australia In 2008 they rebuilt the organ in UWArsquos Winthrop Hall and in 2010 the interconnected organs of St Maryrsquos Cathedral both in the city of Perth

Back in New Zealand a very special project completed late last year was the rebuild of the historic organ of Knox Presbyterian Church in Christchurch after both church and organ were badly damaged in the 201011 earthquakes

SIOCrsquos 12 man team reconstructed the original organ added some more pipes and a digital transmission to facilitate the mobilised and

ldquoEverything we do is quality old-fashioned craftsmanship made to last or to be restored We are not in the throw away utility market but in the heritage market creating one-off pieces that are going to become art works of the futurerdquo CT

adapted 1914 console in accordance with the Churchrsquos stated mission to provide a flexible concert space in the inner city

This project is a clear example of the way SIOC can incorporate leading-edge technology such as computerised digital playing aids and playback systems into organ restorations and rebuilds without compromising heritage

There is however another aspect to the work of the SIOC which may seem unrelated ndash but actually there is a connection The company can also restore precious antique furniture and create new custom joinery

This side of the operation is led by Zack Bennett a specialist in antique furniture restoration in carving and in sculpture as well as in the design and manufacture of customised joinery Zack is about to direct restoration of the historic 19th century reredos in St Saviourrsquos church in Lyttelton ndash a highly intricate project involving earthquake damaged timber and ceramic tiles So diversification is definitely the name of the game for the SIOC

- Brooke Freeman Canterbury Rugby Football Union

ldquo

Striving for excellence and innovation the team at ENI has been involved in many successful projects during the years including the solar powered charging tables that have been installed around the city grandstands for Marist Park Hockey grounds the lsquoring of firersquo for the Crusaders pitch along with many others

With its own design team to help turn customersrsquo ideas into reality ENI is the complete package The companyrsquos capabilities and services include laser profile cutting punching folding powder coating CAD3D design draughting capabilities roto-moulding fabrication and assembly

An ever increasing social conscience about energy use and the effect it has on our environment is causing companies like Solar Bright to look into alternative options Using solar power technology the Christchurch-based team is making leaps and bounds with energy-generating products which are spreading throughout the city and beyond

You may recognise Solar Bright as the company behind the solar-powered table in the city centrersquos ReStart mall which visitors could use to charge their mobile devices that were running low

The table which was on loan to the council has now been relocated to a new home at Burnside High School Being the largest school in the South Island the team at Solar Bright donated the table to the school knowing they would get good use out of it

It seems the team at Solar Bright has not stopped since then They have created and installed five more tables that are dotted around the city have had interest from North Canterbury and Auckland City Council for similar products and have even installed a solar shelter in Linwood for people to charge their devices in

Managing director Nicola Martin explains that the hunger for electricity is growing dramatically and solar energy provides an effective solution

ldquoItrsquos just using what naturersquos already given us Itrsquos a renewable source of energy and means not having to rely solely on electricityrdquo

At the moment Solar Bright is also trialling the charging tables at the McDonaldrsquos restaurants on Moorhouse Ave and in Sydenham The idea is to see how the technology will work indoors and what kind of savings the chains will make on electricity bills as customers are increasingly using power points in store to charge their devices with

Nicola explained that these solar powered charging outlets are a great solution to electricity blackouts If power were ever cut from the city again people would have places like the tables and shelters to use to make sure their mobiles and devices stay on the green light making sure communication methods are protected during emergencies

But charging mobile phones and tablets ar e not the only good ideas Solar Bright has In 2012 Nicolarsquos husband and inventor of their products

Pat Martin realised the need for the detection of frost on roads and came up with PATeye technology

It is again solar powered via the sun and headlights from cars during the night and works the same sort of way that cats eyes currently do on roads around the world

With PATeye the devices installed on roads will flash blue LED lights when the air temperature reaches a certain level to warn people of the potential dangers of slipping

Due to regulations around the world it may take a little while for Solar Bright to weave through the legislation of installing the device on public roads but for now they are rolling out PATeyes on private roads car parks and pathways

Lincoln University Kiwi Rail Dunedin City Council Christchurch Polytechnic and even private NHS roads in the UK are just some of the institutions already using the technology

Solar Bright won two awards at this yearrsquos Champion Canterbury Awards for the Champion Producer Manufacturer as a small enterprise and the CDC Innovation Award for its ldquoinnovative sustainable energy-efficient lighting solutions which enhance safety and lifestyle both domestically and internationallyrdquo CT

Interior design is no longer a stand-alone field it blends seamlessly into so many other areas of life setting the scene for a larger picture incorporating art retail and fine foods

The art of interior designInterior designer and co-owner of Frobisher Interiors Ann-Marie Appleton saw the opportunity to bring together these complementing crafts into one location and create an entirely new interior design experience in Christchurch She and her team at Frobisher Interiors proudly opened the innovative new store on Manchester Street a year ago

The completely modern take on the store is unlike anything around ldquoWe are the only interior design business in the city that encompasses everything that interior design is about in one building Wersquove gone far beyond what is traditionally expected from an interior design shoprdquo

The industry leading store is a complete interior design shopping experience beautifully flowing uninterrupted from a coffee shop meeting space retail store fabric samples area to art gallery

The blended retail space offers everything and anything you might need ldquoThe draw card initially for customers especially for people who donrsquot know us as interior designers is the coffee shop and meeting space From there they can see beyond into the retail space which is adorned with beautiful little gifts and lovely things to buy for the home to larger items such as furniture and our interior design servicerdquo

Frobisher Interiors previously operated from a small villa in Merivale which was too small for

its needs The villa only just housed the team of staff restricted the number of samples on display and failed to properly showcase its work

When it came time to look for bigger premises it was a case of lsquogo big or go homersquo Ann-Marie says they looked at the big picture and made a massive wish list of everything they wanted in the new location then set to work making it a reality

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Designed to handle any load

cab chassis ldquoWe used to make the floor of a tipdeck to 6mm but with Hardox we can make them out of 4mm steel which makes a big difference to the weightrdquo

Quick turn around If you need a tipper body fast at a competitive rate Brokenshire Engineering is the team to call It has truck bodies in stock right now that can be custom-painted and fitted to a truck within two weeks But if you canrsquot find the right body in stock Brokenshire can custom-build paint install the pump oil tank and gas controls and fit it to the truck for just $45000 plus GST

Unparalleled products Brokenshirersquos ability to design and built anything for truck and trailers is unparalleled It builds new semi-tipper truck bodies and is the only business in the country that makes smooth surfaced runner-less tipper bodies

ldquoWe are the only people who make runner-less tipper bodies Most tipper bodies have got channels on them we donrsquot use channels This is the latest European designrdquo

It can also convert hydraulic truck breaks to an air break system and has three and five tonne full air axels on air suspension or springs available Henry has been in the transport engineering industry for 50 years and he says this experience in the industry means he can take on the difficult jobs that other people donrsquot want to CT

Multiple NZ Master Joiner awards winner Best Canterbury Region Award 2009 2010 2011 2013

Manufacturing the award winning kitchen for Sugrue construction

Kitchens are the heart of the home Some of us build them up over time while others can start from scratch to create their idea of perfection

Giving homes award-winning style

Starting from scratch can be a daunting but also very worthy task especially if you have a team like Sugrue Construction behind you managing each step of the way

Offering professional and high quality construction services to those around the city the team at Sugrue are dedicated to making each project a success Working on mainly residential projects every piece of their work receives star treatment so customers are left completely satisfied even after the builders have left

Heart of the Home Kitchen Award winnerOne of their most recent projects a gorgeous home in Merivale Christchurch has been in the spotlight for receiving the 2015 Registered Master Builders House of the Year seal of approval

The project won the Heart of the Home Kitchen Award and received great acclaim from judges ldquoThe kitchen has been designed as an integral part of this homerdquo they said

ldquoA comprehensive selection of modern appliances and fixtures along with the large butlerrsquos pantry and adjacent large glass fronted wine cellar make this a functional kitchen

Beautifully finished in dark stained American Oak the space exudes elegance

ldquoThis contemporary kitchen containing a well-balanced but restrained palette of materials is designed and built for the ultimate in entertainingrdquo

A successful roadWith his team Steven has been able to complete a number of construction projects that have won them several other awards over the years

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Therersquos a big focus on getting everyone involved including parents some of whom go on to achieve their lifeguard award CT

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

Proudly Supporting Window Treatments for over 10 Years

As New Zealandrsquos largest independently owned blind shutter awning and insect screen manufacturing and retail company Window Treatments offer products that follow the latest international trends

The company has retail stores and mobile showrooms throughout the country including nine across the South Island

It has an exciting range of new products available for the summer season including exterior awnings that are designed for longevity in harsh coastal environments

Owner Graeme Rose says the Palladio cassetted folding arm awning is a new generation awning ideal for home patios shops and kiosks offering unobstructed passage underneath It is made from aluminium marine-grade stainless steel fittings and fabrics designed for the outdoors

ldquoPalladio is fully cassetted so it protects the fabric when the awning is retractedrdquo he says

ldquoIt can cover everything up to seven metres in width and a projection of up to 36 metres Itrsquos very large and is ideal for creating that indoor-outdoor environment where you want sun or wind protectionrdquo

Other new awnings from Window Treatments include the Italia box radial arm awning which is ideal for both residential and commercial installations and the Terrazza pergola awning

Graeme says another exciting new product is the Securo side roller blind which rolls from side to side rather than up and down like a conventional roller blind

ldquoItrsquos particularly good for ranch sliders where you need some light control and it also doubles as an insect screen The beauty is you can roll it back just enough to get outside while still having your ranch slider open With a conventional roller blind yoursquod have to roll it right up to go through the doorrdquo

A Terrazza pergola awning from Window Treatments

Interior shutters have become a popular choice for their functionality and good looks

Terrazza awnings from Window Treatments are ideal for cafes bars and restaurants

Window Treatments is now offering large Pelladio cassetted folding arm awnings

Focus | Tekapo Springs

Tekapo Springs is a year-round attraction beloved by visitors from across the globe In early 2015 the resort announced plans to open new multi-million dollar facilities for visitors families and locals to enjoy from late December onwards ndash and itrsquos finally here

New pools take Tekapo Springs to the next level

The new additions include three new pool areas including an aqua playspray area for kids and teens a beach accessed kidsrsquo pool and an adultsrsquo deep water pool

The pools all run at cooler water temperatures of 33 degrees Celsius for the kidsrsquo pool and aqua play area and 28 degrees Celsius for the adultsrsquo pool

Tekapo Springs owner and managing director Karl Burtscher says the aim is to offer a dditional entertaining aquatic options for families children and adults He also says the need to offer a wider temperature range of pool water was important especially during the summer months

Karl explains that the new additions completely open up the resort and create even more

opportunities for guests to gaze upon Lake Tekapo while enjoying the facilities

ldquoYou can now get down to pool level and really appreciate the views from the new adult pool in particular which quite possibly will have the best overall views down Lake Tekapo of any of the pools ndash old and newrdquo

The new pool additions themed lsquoHigh Country Tarnsrsquo each with its own distinctive shade of aqua green ndash were designed to complement the three existing hot pools and are part of Tekapo Springsrsquo long term growth strategy for expanding its aquatic attractions and offering a wider range of water temperatures and features

The new pools will also run through winter depending on outside weather temperatures

Focus | Tekapo Springs

A tight scheduleSince the first sod was turned on September 1 2015 progress was swift and exciting With the new pools taking shape and initial landscaping underway Tekapo Springs staff were thrilled to see dreams become reality

As of November 25 fibre glass spraying and painting of the adultsrsquo pool had been completed with fibre glass spraying commencing on the childrenrsquos cold pool a few days after

Karl says as the pools literally took shape on a daily basis staff could start to get a sense of what they would be delivering to guests

A helping handThe design concept of the pools came from Karl himself and he even completed some of the earth and civil works while co-ordinating the whole project

Although Karl played a major hand in bringing the new additions to life he received a wide slot of help from both local companies and others from around New Zealand

Those involved included H2O Water Systems from Auckland doing the pool plant High Country Carpentry from Fairlie doing all the building and formwork Stephen Styles Block and Brick doing block work Murray Linton Concrete doing concrete laying Reflex Industrial doing fibre glassing and Damon Smith Electrical and Prolec (Professional Electric) from Christchurch doing controls and automation

The perfect spotTekapo Springs is nestled on the shores of stunning Lake Tekapo boasting a unique mix of summer and winter recreation and relaxation

Open 364 days a year the attraction already includes three existing outdoor hot pools a steam and sauna facility an ice rink water slides summer and winter tubing a day spa cafeacute and fully licensed bar

The company has evolved into a year-round ldquomust-dordquo on the bucket list of many visitors to the South Island as well as stamping its mark as an important centrepiece in the Tekapo community

The new pools are a testament to the companyrsquos drive to grow and develop while continuously exceeding customer expectations The three new pools help step-up Tekapo Springsrsquo summer offering and put it among one of the countryrsquos leading tourism operators CT

Finance | Hamilton Hindin Greene

Christchurch businesses are all too familiar with the struggles and obstacles that come with upheaving an office and moving to a new location One local business that understands the struggle all too well is Hamilton Hindin Greene

The investment advisory firm has endured a turbulent and unsettled time since the February 2011 earthquake It has almost consistently been on the move from one premise to the next moving offices five times in the last five years

CEO Ian Perry explains that one day before the earthquake Hamilton Hindin Greene shifted from its office on Hereford Street in the old National Bank building where it had been based for 30 years to the BDO building on Victoria Street When the February quake struck it had just over a day to move everything out of the damaged building but luckily no one was hurt Ian says

In the following chaos it moved to a space above the Dinghyrsquos amp Outboards warehouse on Lincoln Road ldquothen that got knocked downrdquo In 2012 it shifted into a brand new building on Manchester Street called Westende House

ldquoIt was 140 percent up to code and we thought it was going to be our permanent location Then suddenly we got notice when the councilrsquos transport plan was released that the planners had decided they wanted to purchase the building to knock it down and widen the road

ldquoFinally in June 2014 we moved into where we are today at level 1 83 Victoria Street The office is located on the corner of Peterborough Street and hopefully wersquoll never have to move againrdquo

What Hamilton Hindin Greene can do for you Hamilton Hindin Greene is a boutique personalised and specialist investment advisory service It has evolved from solely operating as a share broker when it was established almost a century ago to the diverse investment advisory firm it is today

ldquoWe are no longer the traditional share broker who just deals in New Zealand shares We are investment advisors who use a diversified approach to investing in local and international shares and bonds to provide investment solutions to a range of peoplerdquo

Clients are paired with a personal advisor who takes them through the investment planning process to develop a risk profile for the particular objectives they want to achieve

The advisor oversees the day to day running of clients portfolios and provides advice on potential outcomes of their investments ldquoOur advice is always customised to that particular individuals needsrdquo CT

The organ is the grandest of instruments Itrsquos been referred to as the closest to heaven instrument on earth with a sound thatrsquos powerful rich and deeply moving

Restoring heritage pieces to their former glory

Keeping such instruments in pristine working order is a highly specialised craft One company that has these skills in such a niche field is the South Island Organ Company (SIOC) based in Timaru

Established in 1968 SIOC has been in continuous operation now for nearly 50 years The company offers tuning and maintenance of organs historic restorations and artistic rebuilds as well as new organ builds throughout New Zealand and overseas They are widely recognised as one of the leading firms specialising in pipe organ restoration and rebuilding

The SIOC has worked on literally hundreds of organs Some of the projects have been very large and complex such as their current restoration of Wellingtonrsquos fabulous 1906 Town Hall organ In 1997 at St Patrickrsquos Basilica Fremantle they rebuilt the largest church organ in Australia In 2008 they rebuilt the organ in UWArsquos Winthrop Hall and in 2010 the interconnected organs of St Maryrsquos Cathedral both in the city of Perth

Back in New Zealand a very special project completed late last year was the rebuild of the historic organ of Knox Presbyterian Church in Christchurch after both church and organ were badly damaged in the 201011 earthquakes

SIOCrsquos 12 man team reconstructed the original organ added some more pipes and a digital transmission to facilitate the mobilised and

ldquoEverything we do is quality old-fashioned craftsmanship made to last or to be restored We are not in the throw away utility market but in the heritage market creating one-off pieces that are going to become art works of the futurerdquo CT

adapted 1914 console in accordance with the Churchrsquos stated mission to provide a flexible concert space in the inner city

This project is a clear example of the way SIOC can incorporate leading-edge technology such as computerised digital playing aids and playback systems into organ restorations and rebuilds without compromising heritage

There is however another aspect to the work of the SIOC which may seem unrelated ndash but actually there is a connection The company can also restore precious antique furniture and create new custom joinery

This side of the operation is led by Zack Bennett a specialist in antique furniture restoration in carving and in sculpture as well as in the design and manufacture of customised joinery Zack is about to direct restoration of the historic 19th century reredos in St Saviourrsquos church in Lyttelton ndash a highly intricate project involving earthquake damaged timber and ceramic tiles So diversification is definitely the name of the game for the SIOC

An ever increasing social conscience about energy use and the effect it has on our environment is causing companies like Solar Bright to look into alternative options Using solar power technology the Christchurch-based team is making leaps and bounds with energy-generating products which are spreading throughout the city and beyond

You may recognise Solar Bright as the company behind the solar-powered table in the city centrersquos ReStart mall which visitors could use to charge their mobile devices that were running low

The table which was on loan to the council has now been relocated to a new home at Burnside High School Being the largest school in the South Island the team at Solar Bright donated the table to the school knowing they would get good use out of it

It seems the team at Solar Bright has not stopped since then They have created and installed five more tables that are dotted around the city have had interest from North Canterbury and Auckland City Council for similar products and have even installed a solar shelter in Linwood for people to charge their devices in

Managing director Nicola Martin explains that the hunger for electricity is growing dramatically and solar energy provides an effective solution

ldquoItrsquos just using what naturersquos already given us Itrsquos a renewable source of energy and means not having to rely solely on electricityrdquo

At the moment Solar Bright is also trialling the charging tables at the McDonaldrsquos restaurants on Moorhouse Ave and in Sydenham The idea is to see how the technology will work indoors and what kind of savings the chains will make on electricity bills as customers are increasingly using power points in store to charge their devices with

Nicola explained that these solar powered charging outlets are a great solution to electricity blackouts If power were ever cut from the city again people would have places like the tables and shelters to use to make sure their mobiles and devices stay on the green light making sure communication methods are protected during emergencies

But charging mobile phones and tablets ar e not the only good ideas Solar Bright has In 2012 Nicolarsquos husband and inventor of their products

Pat Martin realised the need for the detection of frost on roads and came up with PATeye technology

It is again solar powered via the sun and headlights from cars during the night and works the same sort of way that cats eyes currently do on roads around the world

With PATeye the devices installed on roads will flash blue LED lights when the air temperature reaches a certain level to warn people of the potential dangers of slipping

Due to regulations around the world it may take a little while for Solar Bright to weave through the legislation of installing the device on public roads but for now they are rolling out PATeyes on private roads car parks and pathways

Lincoln University Kiwi Rail Dunedin City Council Christchurch Polytechnic and even private NHS roads in the UK are just some of the institutions already using the technology

Solar Bright won two awards at this yearrsquos Champion Canterbury Awards for the Champion Producer Manufacturer as a small enterprise and the CDC Innovation Award for its ldquoinnovative sustainable energy-efficient lighting solutions which enhance safety and lifestyle both domestically and internationallyrdquo CT

Interior design is no longer a stand-alone field it blends seamlessly into so many other areas of life setting the scene for a larger picture incorporating art retail and fine foods

The art of interior designInterior designer and co-owner of Frobisher Interiors Ann-Marie Appleton saw the opportunity to bring together these complementing crafts into one location and create an entirely new interior design experience in Christchurch She and her team at Frobisher Interiors proudly opened the innovative new store on Manchester Street a year ago

The completely modern take on the store is unlike anything around ldquoWe are the only interior design business in the city that encompasses everything that interior design is about in one building Wersquove gone far beyond what is traditionally expected from an interior design shoprdquo

The industry leading store is a complete interior design shopping experience beautifully flowing uninterrupted from a coffee shop meeting space retail store fabric samples area to art gallery

The blended retail space offers everything and anything you might need ldquoThe draw card initially for customers especially for people who donrsquot know us as interior designers is the coffee shop and meeting space From there they can see beyond into the retail space which is adorned with beautiful little gifts and lovely things to buy for the home to larger items such as furniture and our interior design servicerdquo

Frobisher Interiors previously operated from a small villa in Merivale which was too small for

its needs The villa only just housed the team of staff restricted the number of samples on display and failed to properly showcase its work

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Designed to handle any load

Projects range from new homes and buildings to alterations within existing structures additions and furniture design

offering a range of quality services including residential commercial industrial hospitality and community projects

Wulf says his practice is committed to providing only high quality design and undertakes thorough communication with clients consultants contractors and end users throughout the process

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

Focus | Tekapo Springs

Tekapo Springs is a year-round attraction beloved by visitors from across the globe In early 2015 the resort announced plans to open new multi-million dollar facilities for visitors families and locals to enjoy from late December onwards ndash and itrsquos finally here

New pools take Tekapo Springs to the next level

The new additions include three new pool areas including an aqua playspray area for kids and teens a beach accessed kidsrsquo pool and an adultsrsquo deep water pool

The pools all run at cooler water temperatures of 33 degrees Celsius for the kidsrsquo pool and aqua play area and 28 degrees Celsius for the adultsrsquo pool

Tekapo Springs owner and managing director Karl Burtscher says the aim is to offer a dditional entertaining aquatic options for families children and adults He also says the need to offer a wider temperature range of pool water was important especially during the summer months

Karl explains that the new additions completely open up the resort and create even more

opportunities for guests to gaze upon Lake Tekapo while enjoying the facilities

ldquoYou can now get down to pool level and really appreciate the views from the new adult pool in particular which quite possibly will have the best overall views down Lake Tekapo of any of the pools ndash old and newrdquo

The new pool additions themed lsquoHigh Country Tarnsrsquo each with its own distinctive shade of aqua green ndash were designed to complement the three existing hot pools and are part of Tekapo Springsrsquo long term growth strategy for expanding its aquatic attractions and offering a wider range of water temperatures and features

The new pools will also run through winter depending on outside weather temperatures

Focus | Tekapo Springs

A tight scheduleSince the first sod was turned on September 1 2015 progress was swift and exciting With the new pools taking shape and initial landscaping underway Tekapo Springs staff were thrilled to see dreams become reality

As of November 25 fibre glass spraying and painting of the adultsrsquo pool had been completed with fibre glass spraying commencing on the childrenrsquos cold pool a few days after

Karl says as the pools literally took shape on a daily basis staff could start to get a sense of what they would be delivering to guests

A helping handThe design concept of the pools came from Karl himself and he even completed some of the earth and civil works while co-ordinating the whole project

Although Karl played a major hand in bringing the new additions to life he received a wide slot of help from both local companies and others from around New Zealand

Those involved included H2O Water Systems from Auckland doing the pool plant High Country Carpentry from Fairlie doing all the building and formwork Stephen Styles Block and Brick doing block work Murray Linton Concrete doing concrete laying Reflex Industrial doing fibre glassing and Damon Smith Electrical and Prolec (Professional Electric) from Christchurch doing controls and automation

The perfect spotTekapo Springs is nestled on the shores of stunning Lake Tekapo boasting a unique mix of summer and winter recreation and relaxation

Open 364 days a year the attraction already includes three existing outdoor hot pools a steam and sauna facility an ice rink water slides summer and winter tubing a day spa cafeacute and fully licensed bar

The company has evolved into a year-round ldquomust-dordquo on the bucket list of many visitors to the South Island as well as stamping its mark as an important centrepiece in the Tekapo community

The new pools are a testament to the companyrsquos drive to grow and develop while continuously exceeding customer expectations The three new pools help step-up Tekapo Springsrsquo summer offering and put it among one of the countryrsquos leading tourism operators CT

Finance | Hamilton Hindin Greene

Christchurch businesses are all too familiar with the struggles and obstacles that come with upheaving an office and moving to a new location One local business that understands the struggle all too well is Hamilton Hindin Greene

The investment advisory firm has endured a turbulent and unsettled time since the February 2011 earthquake It has almost consistently been on the move from one premise to the next moving offices five times in the last five years

CEO Ian Perry explains that one day before the earthquake Hamilton Hindin Greene shifted from its office on Hereford Street in the old National Bank building where it had been based for 30 years to the BDO building on Victoria Street When the February quake struck it had just over a day to move everything out of the damaged building but luckily no one was hurt Ian says

In the following chaos it moved to a space above the Dinghyrsquos amp Outboards warehouse on Lincoln Road ldquothen that got knocked downrdquo In 2012 it shifted into a brand new building on Manchester Street called Westende House

ldquoIt was 140 percent up to code and we thought it was going to be our permanent location Then suddenly we got notice when the councilrsquos transport plan was released that the planners had decided they wanted to purchase the building to knock it down and widen the road

ldquoFinally in June 2014 we moved into where we are today at level 1 83 Victoria Street The office is located on the corner of Peterborough Street and hopefully wersquoll never have to move againrdquo

What Hamilton Hindin Greene can do for you Hamilton Hindin Greene is a boutique personalised and specialist investment advisory service It has evolved from solely operating as a share broker when it was established almost a century ago to the diverse investment advisory firm it is today

ldquoWe are no longer the traditional share broker who just deals in New Zealand shares We are investment advisors who use a diversified approach to investing in local and international shares and bonds to provide investment solutions to a range of peoplerdquo

Clients are paired with a personal advisor who takes them through the investment planning process to develop a risk profile for the particular objectives they want to achieve

The advisor then builds a bespoke profile using local Australian and international shares ldquoWe help them to select the right mix of good quality companies so over the long term theyrsquoll make an appropriate return for the risk they want to takerdquo

The advisor oversees the day to day running of clients portfolios and provides advice on potential outcomes of their investments ldquoOur advice is always customised to that particular individuals needsrdquo CT

The organ is the grandest of instruments Itrsquos been referred to as the closest to heaven instrument on earth with a sound thatrsquos powerful rich and deeply moving

Restoring heritage pieces to their former glory

Keeping such instruments in pristine working order is a highly specialised craft One company that has these skills in such a niche field is the South Island Organ Company (SIOC) based in Timaru

Established in 1968 SIOC has been in continuous operation now for nearly 50 years The company offers tuning and maintenance of organs historic restorations and artistic rebuilds as well as new organ builds throughout New Zealand and overseas They are widely recognised as one of the leading firms specialising in pipe organ restoration and rebuilding

The SIOC has worked on literally hundreds of organs Some of the projects have been very large and complex such as their current restoration of Wellingtonrsquos fabulous 1906 Town Hall organ In 1997 at St Patrickrsquos Basilica Fremantle they rebuilt the largest church organ in Australia In 2008 they rebuilt the organ in UWArsquos Winthrop Hall and in 2010 the interconnected organs of St Maryrsquos Cathedral both in the city of Perth

Back in New Zealand a very special project completed late last year was the rebuild of the historic organ of Knox Presbyterian Church in Christchurch after both church and organ were badly damaged in the 201011 earthquakes

SIOCrsquos 12 man team reconstructed the original organ added some more pipes and a digital transmission to facilitate the mobilised and

ldquoEverything we do is quality old-fashioned craftsmanship made to last or to be restored We are not in the throw away utility market but in the heritage market creating one-off pieces that are going to become art works of the futurerdquo CT

adapted 1914 console in accordance with the Churchrsquos stated mission to provide a flexible concert space in the inner city

This project is a clear example of the way SIOC can incorporate leading-edge technology such as computerised digital playing aids and playback systems into organ restorations and rebuilds without compromising heritage

There is however another aspect to the work of the SIOC which may seem unrelated ndash but actually there is a connection The company can also restore precious antique furniture and create new custom joinery

This side of the operation is led by Zack Bennett a specialist in antique furniture restoration in carving and in sculpture as well as in the design and manufacture of customised joinery Zack is about to direct restoration of the historic 19th century reredos in St Saviourrsquos church in Lyttelton ndash a highly intricate project involving earthquake damaged timber and ceramic tiles So diversification is definitely the name of the game for the SIOC

An ever increasing social conscience about energy use and the effect it has on our environment is causing companies like Solar Bright to look into alternative options Using solar power technology the Christchurch-based team is making leaps and bounds with energy-generating products which are spreading throughout the city and beyond

You may recognise Solar Bright as the company behind the solar-powered table in the city centrersquos ReStart mall which visitors could use to charge their mobile devices that were running low

The table which was on loan to the council has now been relocated to a new home at Burnside High School Being the largest school in the South Island the team at Solar Bright donated the table to the school knowing they would get good use out of it

It seems the team at Solar Bright has not stopped since then They have created and installed five more tables that are dotted around the city have had interest from North Canterbury and Auckland City Council for similar products and have even installed a solar shelter in Linwood for people to charge their devices in

Managing director Nicola Martin explains that the hunger for electricity is growing dramatically and solar energy provides an effective solution

ldquoItrsquos just using what naturersquos already given us Itrsquos a renewable source of energy and means not having to rely solely on electricityrdquo

At the moment Solar Bright is also trialling the charging tables at the McDonaldrsquos restaurants on Moorhouse Ave and in Sydenham The idea is to see how the technology will work indoors and what kind of savings the chains will make on electricity bills as customers are increasingly using power points in store to charge their devices with

Nicola explained that these solar powered charging outlets are a great solution to electricity blackouts If power were ever cut from the city again people would have places like the tables and shelters to use to make sure their mobiles and devices stay on the green light making sure communication methods are protected during emergencies

But charging mobile phones and tablets ar e not the only good ideas Solar Bright has In 2012 Nicolarsquos husband and inventor of their products

Pat Martin realised the need for the detection of frost on roads and came up with PATeye technology

It is again solar powered via the sun and headlights from cars during the night and works the same sort of way that cats eyes currently do on roads around the world

With PATeye the devices installed on roads will flash blue LED lights when the air temperature reaches a certain level to warn people of the potential dangers of slipping

Due to regulations around the world it may take a little while for Solar Bright to weave through the legislation of installing the device on public roads but for now they are rolling out PATeyes on private roads car parks and pathways

Lincoln University Kiwi Rail Dunedin City Council Christchurch Polytechnic and even private NHS roads in the UK are just some of the institutions already using the technology

Solar Bright won two awards at this yearrsquos Champion Canterbury Awards for the Champion Producer Manufacturer as a small enterprise and the CDC Innovation Award for its ldquoinnovative sustainable energy-efficient lighting solutions which enhance safety and lifestyle both domestically and internationallyrdquo CT

Interior design is no longer a stand-alone field it blends seamlessly into so many other areas of life setting the scene for a larger picture incorporating art retail and fine foods

The art of interior designInterior designer and co-owner of Frobisher Interiors Ann-Marie Appleton saw the opportunity to bring together these complementing crafts into one location and create an entirely new interior design experience in Christchurch She and her team at Frobisher Interiors proudly opened the innovative new store on Manchester Street a year ago

The completely modern take on the store is unlike anything around ldquoWe are the only interior design business in the city that encompasses everything that interior design is about in one building Wersquove gone far beyond what is traditionally expected from an interior design shoprdquo

The industry leading store is a complete interior design shopping experience beautifully flowing uninterrupted from a coffee shop meeting space retail store fabric samples area to art gallery

The blended retail space offers everything and anything you might need ldquoThe draw card initially for customers especially for people who donrsquot know us as interior designers is the coffee shop and meeting space From there they can see beyond into the retail space which is adorned with beautiful little gifts and lovely things to buy for the home to larger items such as furniture and our interior design servicerdquo

Frobisher Interiors previously operated from a small villa in Merivale which was too small for

its needs The villa only just housed the team of staff restricted the number of samples on display and failed to properly showcase its work

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Designed to handle any load

cab chassis ldquoWe used to make the floor of a tipdeck to 6mm but with Hardox we can make them out of 4mm steel which makes a big difference to the weightrdquo

Quick turn around If you need a tipper body fast at a competitive rate Brokenshire Engineering is the team to call It has truck bodies in stock right now that can be custom-painted and fitted to a truck within two weeks But if you canrsquot find the right body in stock Brokenshire can custom-build paint install the pump oil tank and gas controls and fit it to the truck for just $45000 plus GST

Unparalleled products Brokenshirersquos ability to design and built anything for truck and trailers is unparalleled It builds new semi-tipper truck bodies and is the only business in the country that makes smooth surfaced runner-less tipper bodies

ldquoWe are the only people who make runner-less tipper bodies Most tipper bodies have got channels on them we donrsquot use channels This is the latest European designrdquo

It can also convert hydraulic truck breaks to an air break system and has three and five tonne full air axels on air suspension or springs available Henry has been in the transport engineering industry for 50 years and he says this experience in the industry means he can take on the difficult jobs that other people donrsquot want to CT

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Transport amp Motoring |emspSouthbrook Autos

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

The cafeacute and retail store is extremely popular with visitors to the region particularly Chinese tourists with staff gearing up for the busy season between December and Easter

To keep up with business High Country Salmon has also expanded its farming operation and has almost doubled the number of smolt (baby fish) it received this year from Silverstream Hatchery in comparison with three years ago

ldquoThings have been going very well and we get a lot of good feedbackrdquo Rae says

ldquoWe get between 20000 and 30000 people through a month in the busy season and Twizel is really humming along Itrsquos a working salmon farm so you can see the fish and whatrsquos happening and buy some fresh fish to take homerdquo

Focus | Tekapo Springs

Tekapo Springs is a year-round attraction beloved by visitors from across the globe In early 2015 the resort announced plans to open new multi-million dollar facilities for visitors families and locals to enjoy from late December onwards ndash and itrsquos finally here

New pools take Tekapo Springs to the next level

The new additions include three new pool areas including an aqua playspray area for kids and teens a beach accessed kidsrsquo pool and an adultsrsquo deep water pool

The pools all run at cooler water temperatures of 33 degrees Celsius for the kidsrsquo pool and aqua play area and 28 degrees Celsius for the adultsrsquo pool

Tekapo Springs owner and managing director Karl Burtscher says the aim is to offer a dditional entertaining aquatic options for families children and adults He also says the need to offer a wider temperature range of pool water was important especially during the summer months

Karl explains that the new additions completely open up the resort and create even more

opportunities for guests to gaze upon Lake Tekapo while enjoying the facilities

ldquoYou can now get down to pool level and really appreciate the views from the new adult pool in particular which quite possibly will have the best overall views down Lake Tekapo of any of the pools ndash old and newrdquo

The new pool additions themed lsquoHigh Country Tarnsrsquo each with its own distinctive shade of aqua green ndash were designed to complement the three existing hot pools and are part of Tekapo Springsrsquo long term growth strategy for expanding its aquatic attractions and offering a wider range of water temperatures and features

The new pools will also run through winter depending on outside weather temperatures

Focus | Tekapo Springs

A tight scheduleSince the first sod was turned on September 1 2015 progress was swift and exciting With the new pools taking shape and initial landscaping underway Tekapo Springs staff were thrilled to see dreams become reality

As of November 25 fibre glass spraying and painting of the adultsrsquo pool had been completed with fibre glass spraying commencing on the childrenrsquos cold pool a few days after

Karl says as the pools literally took shape on a daily basis staff could start to get a sense of what they would be delivering to guests

A helping handThe design concept of the pools came from Karl himself and he even completed some of the earth and civil works while co-ordinating the whole project

Although Karl played a major hand in bringing the new additions to life he received a wide slot of help from both local companies and others from around New Zealand

Those involved included H2O Water Systems from Auckland doing the pool plant High Country Carpentry from Fairlie doing all the building and formwork Stephen Styles Block and Brick doing block work Murray Linton Concrete doing concrete laying Reflex Industrial doing fibre glassing and Damon Smith Electrical and Prolec (Professional Electric) from Christchurch doing controls and automation

The perfect spotTekapo Springs is nestled on the shores of stunning Lake Tekapo boasting a unique mix of summer and winter recreation and relaxation

Open 364 days a year the attraction already includes three existing outdoor hot pools a steam and sauna facility an ice rink water slides summer and winter tubing a day spa cafeacute and fully licensed bar

The company has evolved into a year-round ldquomust-dordquo on the bucket list of many visitors to the South Island as well as stamping its mark as an important centrepiece in the Tekapo community

The new pools are a testament to the companyrsquos drive to grow and develop while continuously exceeding customer expectations The three new pools help step-up Tekapo Springsrsquo summer offering and put it among one of the countryrsquos leading tourism operators CT

Finance | Hamilton Hindin Greene

Christchurch businesses are all too familiar with the struggles and obstacles that come with upheaving an office and moving to a new location One local business that understands the struggle all too well is Hamilton Hindin Greene

The investment advisory firm has endured a turbulent and unsettled time since the February 2011 earthquake It has almost consistently been on the move from one premise to the next moving offices five times in the last five years

CEO Ian Perry explains that one day before the earthquake Hamilton Hindin Greene shifted from its office on Hereford Street in the old National Bank building where it had been based for 30 years to the BDO building on Victoria Street When the February quake struck it had just over a day to move everything out of the damaged building but luckily no one was hurt Ian says

In the following chaos it moved to a space above the Dinghyrsquos amp Outboards warehouse on Lincoln Road ldquothen that got knocked downrdquo In 2012 it shifted into a brand new building on Manchester Street called Westende House

ldquoIt was 140 percent up to code and we thought it was going to be our permanent location Then suddenly we got notice when the councilrsquos transport plan was released that the planners had decided they wanted to purchase the building to knock it down and widen the road

ldquoFinally in June 2014 we moved into where we are today at level 1 83 Victoria Street The office is located on the corner of Peterborough Street and hopefully wersquoll never have to move againrdquo

What Hamilton Hindin Greene can do for you Hamilton Hindin Greene is a boutique personalised and specialist investment advisory service It has evolved from solely operating as a share broker when it was established almost a century ago to the diverse investment advisory firm it is today

ldquoWe are no longer the traditional share broker who just deals in New Zealand shares We are investment advisors who use a diversified approach to investing in local and international shares and bonds to provide investment solutions to a range of peoplerdquo

Clients are paired with a personal advisor who takes them through the investment planning process to develop a risk profile for the particular objectives they want to achieve

The advisor then builds a bespoke profile using local Australian and international shares ldquoWe help them to select the right mix of good quality companies so over the long term theyrsquoll make an appropriate return for the risk they want to takerdquo

The advisor oversees the day to day running of clients portfolios and provides advice on potential outcomes of their investments ldquoOur advice is always customised to that particular individuals needsrdquo CT

The organ is the grandest of instruments Itrsquos been referred to as the closest to heaven instrument on earth with a sound thatrsquos powerful rich and deeply moving

Restoring heritage pieces to their former glory

Keeping such instruments in pristine working order is a highly specialised craft One company that has these skills in such a niche field is the South Island Organ Company (SIOC) based in Timaru

Established in 1968 SIOC has been in continuous operation now for nearly 50 years The company offers tuning and maintenance of organs historic restorations and artistic rebuilds as well as new organ builds throughout New Zealand and overseas They are widely recognised as one of the leading firms specialising in pipe organ restoration and rebuilding

The SIOC has worked on literally hundreds of organs Some of the projects have been very large and complex such as their current restoration of Wellingtonrsquos fabulous 1906 Town Hall organ In 1997 at St Patrickrsquos Basilica Fremantle they rebuilt the largest church organ in Australia In 2008 they rebuilt the organ in UWArsquos Winthrop Hall and in 2010 the interconnected organs of St Maryrsquos Cathedral both in the city of Perth

Back in New Zealand a very special project completed late last year was the rebuild of the historic organ of Knox Presbyterian Church in Christchurch after both church and organ were badly damaged in the 201011 earthquakes

SIOCrsquos 12 man team reconstructed the original organ added some more pipes and a digital transmission to facilitate the mobilised and

ldquoEverything we do is quality old-fashioned craftsmanship made to last or to be restored We are not in the throw away utility market but in the heritage market creating one-off pieces that are going to become art works of the futurerdquo CT

adapted 1914 console in accordance with the Churchrsquos stated mission to provide a flexible concert space in the inner city

This project is a clear example of the way SIOC can incorporate leading-edge technology such as computerised digital playing aids and playback systems into organ restorations and rebuilds without compromising heritage

There is however another aspect to the work of the SIOC which may seem unrelated ndash but actually there is a connection The company can also restore precious antique furniture and create new custom joinery

This side of the operation is led by Zack Bennett a specialist in antique furniture restoration in carving and in sculpture as well as in the design and manufacture of customised joinery Zack is about to direct restoration of the historic 19th century reredos in St Saviourrsquos church in Lyttelton ndash a highly intricate project involving earthquake damaged timber and ceramic tiles So diversification is definitely the name of the game for the SIOC

An ever increasing social conscience about energy use and the effect it has on our environment is causing companies like Solar Bright to look into alternative options Using solar power technology the Christchurch-based team is making leaps and bounds with energy-generating products which are spreading throughout the city and beyond

You may recognise Solar Bright as the company behind the solar-powered table in the city centrersquos ReStart mall which visitors could use to charge their mobile devices that were running low

The table which was on loan to the council has now been relocated to a new home at Burnside High School Being the largest school in the South Island the team at Solar Bright donated the table to the school knowing they would get good use out of it

It seems the team at Solar Bright has not stopped since then They have created and installed five more tables that are dotted around the city have had interest from North Canterbury and Auckland City Council for similar products and have even installed a solar shelter in Linwood for people to charge their devices in

Managing director Nicola Martin explains that the hunger for electricity is growing dramatically and solar energy provides an effective solution

ldquoItrsquos just using what naturersquos already given us Itrsquos a renewable source of energy and means not having to rely solely on electricityrdquo

At the moment Solar Bright is also trialling the charging tables at the McDonaldrsquos restaurants on Moorhouse Ave and in Sydenham The idea is to see how the technology will work indoors and what kind of savings the chains will make on electricity bills as customers are increasingly using power points in store to charge their devices with

Nicola explained that these solar powered charging outlets are a great solution to electricity blackouts If power were ever cut from the city again people would have places like the tables and shelters to use to make sure their mobiles and devices stay on the green light making sure communication methods are protected during emergencies

But charging mobile phones and tablets ar e not the only good ideas Solar Bright has In 2012 Nicolarsquos husband and inventor of their products

Pat Martin realised the need for the detection of frost on roads and came up with PATeye technology

It is again solar powered via the sun and headlights from cars during the night and works the same sort of way that cats eyes currently do on roads around the world

With PATeye the devices installed on roads will flash blue LED lights when the air temperature reaches a certain level to warn people of the potential dangers of slipping

Due to regulations around the world it may take a little while for Solar Bright to weave through the legislation of installing the device on public roads but for now they are rolling out PATeyes on private roads car parks and pathways

Lincoln University Kiwi Rail Dunedin City Council Christchurch Polytechnic and even private NHS roads in the UK are just some of the institutions already using the technology

Solar Bright won two awards at this yearrsquos Champion Canterbury Awards for the Champion Producer Manufacturer as a small enterprise and the CDC Innovation Award for its ldquoinnovative sustainable energy-efficient lighting solutions which enhance safety and lifestyle both domestically and internationallyrdquo CT

Interior design is no longer a stand-alone field it blends seamlessly into so many other areas of life setting the scene for a larger picture incorporating art retail and fine foods

The art of interior designInterior designer and co-owner of Frobisher Interiors Ann-Marie Appleton saw the opportunity to bring together these complementing crafts into one location and create an entirely new interior design experience in Christchurch She and her team at Frobisher Interiors proudly opened the innovative new store on Manchester Street a year ago

The completely modern take on the store is unlike anything around ldquoWe are the only interior design business in the city that encompasses everything that interior design is about in one building Wersquove gone far beyond what is traditionally expected from an interior design shoprdquo

The blended retail space offers everything and anything you might need ldquoThe draw card initially for customers especially for people who donrsquot know us as interior designers is the coffee shop and meeting space From there they can see beyond into the retail space which is adorned with beautiful little gifts and lovely things to buy for the home to larger items such as furniture and our interior design servicerdquo

Frobisher Interiors previously operated from a small villa in Merivale which was too small for

its needs The villa only just housed the team of staff restricted the number of samples on display and failed to properly showcase its work

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Designed to handle any load

cab chassis ldquoWe used to make the floor of a tipdeck to 6mm but with Hardox we can make them out of 4mm steel which makes a big difference to the weightrdquo

Quick turn around If you need a tipper body fast at a competitive rate Brokenshire Engineering is the team to call It has truck bodies in stock right now that can be custom-painted and fitted to a truck within two weeks But if you canrsquot find the right body in stock Brokenshire can custom-build paint install the pump oil tank and gas controls and fit it to the truck for just $45000 plus GST

Unparalleled products Brokenshirersquos ability to design and built anything for truck and trailers is unparalleled It builds new semi-tipper truck bodies and is the only business in the country that makes smooth surfaced runner-less tipper bodies

ldquoWe are the only people who make runner-less tipper bodies Most tipper bodies have got channels on them we donrsquot use channels This is the latest European designrdquo

It can also convert hydraulic truck breaks to an air break system and has three and five tonne full air axels on air suspension or springs available Henry has been in the transport engineering industry for 50 years and he says this experience in the industry means he can take on the difficult jobs that other people donrsquot want to CT

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

Focus | Tekapo Springs

A tight scheduleSince the first sod was turned on September 1 2015 progress was swift and exciting With the new pools taking shape and initial landscaping underway Tekapo Springs staff were thrilled to see dreams become reality

As of November 25 fibre glass spraying and painting of the adultsrsquo pool had been completed with fibre glass spraying commencing on the childrenrsquos cold pool a few days after

Karl says as the pools literally took shape on a daily basis staff could start to get a sense of what they would be delivering to guests

A helping handThe design concept of the pools came from Karl himself and he even completed some of the earth and civil works while co-ordinating the whole project

Although Karl played a major hand in bringing the new additions to life he received a wide slot of help from both local companies and others from around New Zealand

Those involved included H2O Water Systems from Auckland doing the pool plant High Country Carpentry from Fairlie doing all the building and formwork Stephen Styles Block and Brick doing block work Murray Linton Concrete doing concrete laying Reflex Industrial doing fibre glassing and Damon Smith Electrical and Prolec (Professional Electric) from Christchurch doing controls and automation

The perfect spotTekapo Springs is nestled on the shores of stunning Lake Tekapo boasting a unique mix of summer and winter recreation and relaxation

Open 364 days a year the attraction already includes three existing outdoor hot pools a steam and sauna facility an ice rink water slides summer and winter tubing a day spa cafeacute and fully licensed bar

The company has evolved into a year-round ldquomust-dordquo on the bucket list of many visitors to the South Island as well as stamping its mark as an important centrepiece in the Tekapo community

The new pools are a testament to the companyrsquos drive to grow and develop while continuously exceeding customer expectations The three new pools help step-up Tekapo Springsrsquo summer offering and put it among one of the countryrsquos leading tourism operators CT

Finance | Hamilton Hindin Greene

Christchurch businesses are all too familiar with the struggles and obstacles that come with upheaving an office and moving to a new location One local business that understands the struggle all too well is Hamilton Hindin Greene

The investment advisory firm has endured a turbulent and unsettled time since the February 2011 earthquake It has almost consistently been on the move from one premise to the next moving offices five times in the last five years

CEO Ian Perry explains that one day before the earthquake Hamilton Hindin Greene shifted from its office on Hereford Street in the old National Bank building where it had been based for 30 years to the BDO building on Victoria Street When the February quake struck it had just over a day to move everything out of the damaged building but luckily no one was hurt Ian says

In the following chaos it moved to a space above the Dinghyrsquos amp Outboards warehouse on Lincoln Road ldquothen that got knocked downrdquo In 2012 it shifted into a brand new building on Manchester Street called Westende House

ldquoIt was 140 percent up to code and we thought it was going to be our permanent location Then suddenly we got notice when the councilrsquos transport plan was released that the planners had decided they wanted to purchase the building to knock it down and widen the road

ldquoFinally in June 2014 we moved into where we are today at level 1 83 Victoria Street The office is located on the corner of Peterborough Street and hopefully wersquoll never have to move againrdquo

What Hamilton Hindin Greene can do for you Hamilton Hindin Greene is a boutique personalised and specialist investment advisory service It has evolved from solely operating as a share broker when it was established almost a century ago to the diverse investment advisory firm it is today

ldquoWe are no longer the traditional share broker who just deals in New Zealand shares We are investment advisors who use a diversified approach to investing in local and international shares and bonds to provide investment solutions to a range of peoplerdquo

Clients are paired with a personal advisor who takes them through the investment planning process to develop a risk profile for the particular objectives they want to achieve

The advisor then builds a bespoke profile using local Australian and international shares ldquoWe help them to select the right mix of good quality companies so over the long term theyrsquoll make an appropriate return for the risk they want to takerdquo

The advisor oversees the day to day running of clients portfolios and provides advice on potential outcomes of their investments ldquoOur advice is always customised to that particular individuals needsrdquo CT

The organ is the grandest of instruments Itrsquos been referred to as the closest to heaven instrument on earth with a sound thatrsquos powerful rich and deeply moving

Restoring heritage pieces to their former glory

Keeping such instruments in pristine working order is a highly specialised craft One company that has these skills in such a niche field is the South Island Organ Company (SIOC) based in Timaru

Established in 1968 SIOC has been in continuous operation now for nearly 50 years The company offers tuning and maintenance of organs historic restorations and artistic rebuilds as well as new organ builds throughout New Zealand and overseas They are widely recognised as one of the leading firms specialising in pipe organ restoration and rebuilding

The SIOC has worked on literally hundreds of organs Some of the projects have been very large and complex such as their current restoration of Wellingtonrsquos fabulous 1906 Town Hall organ In 1997 at St Patrickrsquos Basilica Fremantle they rebuilt the largest church organ in Australia In 2008 they rebuilt the organ in UWArsquos Winthrop Hall and in 2010 the interconnected organs of St Maryrsquos Cathedral both in the city of Perth

Back in New Zealand a very special project completed late last year was the rebuild of the historic organ of Knox Presbyterian Church in Christchurch after both church and organ were badly damaged in the 201011 earthquakes

SIOCrsquos 12 man team reconstructed the original organ added some more pipes and a digital transmission to facilitate the mobilised and

ldquoEverything we do is quality old-fashioned craftsmanship made to last or to be restored We are not in the throw away utility market but in the heritage market creating one-off pieces that are going to become art works of the futurerdquo CT

adapted 1914 console in accordance with the Churchrsquos stated mission to provide a flexible concert space in the inner city

This project is a clear example of the way SIOC can incorporate leading-edge technology such as computerised digital playing aids and playback systems into organ restorations and rebuilds without compromising heritage

There is however another aspect to the work of the SIOC which may seem unrelated ndash but actually there is a connection The company can also restore precious antique furniture and create new custom joinery

This side of the operation is led by Zack Bennett a specialist in antique furniture restoration in carving and in sculpture as well as in the design and manufacture of customised joinery Zack is about to direct restoration of the historic 19th century reredos in St Saviourrsquos church in Lyttelton ndash a highly intricate project involving earthquake damaged timber and ceramic tiles So diversification is definitely the name of the game for the SIOC

An ever increasing social conscience about energy use and the effect it has on our environment is causing companies like Solar Bright to look into alternative options Using solar power technology the Christchurch-based team is making leaps and bounds with energy-generating products which are spreading throughout the city and beyond

You may recognise Solar Bright as the company behind the solar-powered table in the city centrersquos ReStart mall which visitors could use to charge their mobile devices that were running low

The table which was on loan to the council has now been relocated to a new home at Burnside High School Being the largest school in the South Island the team at Solar Bright donated the table to the school knowing they would get good use out of it

It seems the team at Solar Bright has not stopped since then They have created and installed five more tables that are dotted around the city have had interest from North Canterbury and Auckland City Council for similar products and have even installed a solar shelter in Linwood for people to charge their devices in

Managing director Nicola Martin explains that the hunger for electricity is growing dramatically and solar energy provides an effective solution

ldquoItrsquos just using what naturersquos already given us Itrsquos a renewable source of energy and means not having to rely solely on electricityrdquo

At the moment Solar Bright is also trialling the charging tables at the McDonaldrsquos restaurants on Moorhouse Ave and in Sydenham The idea is to see how the technology will work indoors and what kind of savings the chains will make on electricity bills as customers are increasingly using power points in store to charge their devices with

Nicola explained that these solar powered charging outlets are a great solution to electricity blackouts If power were ever cut from the city again people would have places like the tables and shelters to use to make sure their mobiles and devices stay on the green light making sure communication methods are protected during emergencies

But charging mobile phones and tablets ar e not the only good ideas Solar Bright has In 2012 Nicolarsquos husband and inventor of their products

Pat Martin realised the need for the detection of frost on roads and came up with PATeye technology

It is again solar powered via the sun and headlights from cars during the night and works the same sort of way that cats eyes currently do on roads around the world

With PATeye the devices installed on roads will flash blue LED lights when the air temperature reaches a certain level to warn people of the potential dangers of slipping

Due to regulations around the world it may take a little while for Solar Bright to weave through the legislation of installing the device on public roads but for now they are rolling out PATeyes on private roads car parks and pathways

Lincoln University Kiwi Rail Dunedin City Council Christchurch Polytechnic and even private NHS roads in the UK are just some of the institutions already using the technology

Solar Bright won two awards at this yearrsquos Champion Canterbury Awards for the Champion Producer Manufacturer as a small enterprise and the CDC Innovation Award for its ldquoinnovative sustainable energy-efficient lighting solutions which enhance safety and lifestyle both domestically and internationallyrdquo CT

The art of interior designInterior designer and co-owner of Frobisher Interiors Ann-Marie Appleton saw the opportunity to bring together these complementing crafts into one location and create an entirely new interior design experience in Christchurch She and her team at Frobisher Interiors proudly opened the innovative new store on Manchester Street a year ago

The completely modern take on the store is unlike anything around ldquoWe are the only interior design business in the city that encompasses everything that interior design is about in one building Wersquove gone far beyond what is traditionally expected from an interior design shoprdquo

It was also the site of New Zealandrsquos first public railway commissioned in 1863 Goods from Lyttelton were brought around on small boats and loaded onto the train which also carried passengers

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Designed to handle any load

cab chassis ldquoWe used to make the floor of a tipdeck to 6mm but with Hardox we can make them out of 4mm steel which makes a big difference to the weightrdquo

Quick turn around If you need a tipper body fast at a competitive rate Brokenshire Engineering is the team to call It has truck bodies in stock right now that can be custom-painted and fitted to a truck within two weeks But if you canrsquot find the right body in stock Brokenshire can custom-build paint install the pump oil tank and gas controls and fit it to the truck for just $45000 plus GST

Unparalleled products Brokenshirersquos ability to design and built anything for truck and trailers is unparalleled It builds new semi-tipper truck bodies and is the only business in the country that makes smooth surfaced runner-less tipper bodies

ldquoWe are the only people who make runner-less tipper bodies Most tipper bodies have got channels on them we donrsquot use channels This is the latest European designrdquo

It can also convert hydraulic truck breaks to an air break system and has three and five tonne full air axels on air suspension or springs available Henry has been in the transport engineering industry for 50 years and he says this experience in the industry means he can take on the difficult jobs that other people donrsquot want to CT

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

The business works in partnership with Modern Architecture Partners (MAP) on many of its projects and won both gold gold reserve and local category Master Buildersrsquo awards in 2014 for a house they completed together

Tim Forman says Takahe has worked alongside MAP many times including the Akaroa house that won the gold award in the $1-$2 million category in 2012 and again this year won a gold reserve for another MAP designed home

ldquoWe are very excited at being able to provide an environment for our staff that pushes them to want to succeedrdquo

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

The organ is the grandest of instruments Itrsquos been referred to as the closest to heaven instrument on earth with a sound thatrsquos powerful rich and deeply moving

Restoring heritage pieces to their former glory

Keeping such instruments in pristine working order is a highly specialised craft One company that has these skills in such a niche field is the South Island Organ Company (SIOC) based in Timaru

Established in 1968 SIOC has been in continuous operation now for nearly 50 years The company offers tuning and maintenance of organs historic restorations and artistic rebuilds as well as new organ builds throughout New Zealand and overseas They are widely recognised as one of the leading firms specialising in pipe organ restoration and rebuilding

The SIOC has worked on literally hundreds of organs Some of the projects have been very large and complex such as their current restoration of Wellingtonrsquos fabulous 1906 Town Hall organ In 1997 at St Patrickrsquos Basilica Fremantle they rebuilt the largest church organ in Australia In 2008 they rebuilt the organ in UWArsquos Winthrop Hall and in 2010 the interconnected organs of St Maryrsquos Cathedral both in the city of Perth

Back in New Zealand a very special project completed late last year was the rebuild of the historic organ of Knox Presbyterian Church in Christchurch after both church and organ were badly damaged in the 201011 earthquakes

SIOCrsquos 12 man team reconstructed the original organ added some more pipes and a digital transmission to facilitate the mobilised and

adapted 1914 console in accordance with the Churchrsquos stated mission to provide a flexible concert space in the inner city

This project is a clear example of the way SIOC can incorporate leading-edge technology such as computerised digital playing aids and playback systems into organ restorations and rebuilds without compromising heritage

There is however another aspect to the work of the SIOC which may seem unrelated ndash but actually there is a connection The company can also restore precious antique furniture and create new custom joinery

This side of the operation is led by Zack Bennett a specialist in antique furniture restoration in carving and in sculpture as well as in the design and manufacture of customised joinery Zack is about to direct restoration of the historic 19th century reredos in St Saviourrsquos church in Lyttelton ndash a highly intricate project involving earthquake damaged timber and ceramic tiles So diversification is definitely the name of the game for the SIOC

- Brooke Freeman Canterbury Rugby Football Union

ldquo

rdquo

Striving for excellence and innovation the team at ENI has been involved in many successful projects during the years including the solar powered charging tables that have been installed around the city grandstands for Marist Park Hockey grounds the lsquoring of firersquo for the Crusaders pitch along with many others

With its own design team to help turn customersrsquo ideas into reality ENI is the complete package The companyrsquos capabilities and services include laser profile cutting punching folding powder coating CAD3D design draughting capabilities roto-moulding fabrication and assembly

An ever increasing social conscience about energy use and the effect it has on our environment is causing companies like Solar Bright to look into alternative options Using solar power technology the Christchurch-based team is making leaps and bounds with energy-generating products which are spreading throughout the city and beyond

You may recognise Solar Bright as the company behind the solar-powered table in the city centrersquos ReStart mall which visitors could use to charge their mobile devices that were running low

The table which was on loan to the council has now been relocated to a new home at Burnside High School Being the largest school in the South Island the team at Solar Bright donated the table to the school knowing they would get good use out of it

It seems the team at Solar Bright has not stopped since then They have created and installed five more tables that are dotted around the city have had interest from North Canterbury and Auckland City Council for similar products and have even installed a solar shelter in Linwood for people to charge their devices in

Managing director Nicola Martin explains that the hunger for electricity is growing dramatically and solar energy provides an effective solution

ldquoItrsquos just using what naturersquos already given us Itrsquos a renewable source of energy and means not having to rely solely on electricityrdquo

At the moment Solar Bright is also trialling the charging tables at the McDonaldrsquos restaurants on Moorhouse Ave and in Sydenham The idea is to see how the technology will work indoors and what kind of savings the chains will make on electricity bills as customers are increasingly using power points in store to charge their devices with

Nicola explained that these solar powered charging outlets are a great solution to electricity blackouts If power were ever cut from the city again people would have places like the tables and shelters to use to make sure their mobiles and devices stay on the green light making sure communication methods are protected during emergencies

But charging mobile phones and tablets ar e not the only good ideas Solar Bright has In 2012 Nicolarsquos husband and inventor of their products

Pat Martin realised the need for the detection of frost on roads and came up with PATeye technology

It is again solar powered via the sun and headlights from cars during the night and works the same sort of way that cats eyes currently do on roads around the world

With PATeye the devices installed on roads will flash blue LED lights when the air temperature reaches a certain level to warn people of the potential dangers of slipping

Due to regulations around the world it may take a little while for Solar Bright to weave through the legislation of installing the device on public roads but for now they are rolling out PATeyes on private roads car parks and pathways

Lincoln University Kiwi Rail Dunedin City Council Christchurch Polytechnic and even private NHS roads in the UK are just some of the institutions already using the technology

Solar Bright won two awards at this yearrsquos Champion Canterbury Awards for the Champion Producer Manufacturer as a small enterprise and the CDC Innovation Award for its ldquoinnovative sustainable energy-efficient lighting solutions which enhance safety and lifestyle both domestically and internationallyrdquo CT

Interior design is no longer a stand-alone field it blends seamlessly into so many other areas of life setting the scene for a larger picture incorporating art retail and fine foods

The art of interior designInterior designer and co-owner of Frobisher Interiors Ann-Marie Appleton saw the opportunity to bring together these complementing crafts into one location and create an entirely new interior design experience in Christchurch She and her team at Frobisher Interiors proudly opened the innovative new store on Manchester Street a year ago

The completely modern take on the store is unlike anything around ldquoWe are the only interior design business in the city that encompasses everything that interior design is about in one building Wersquove gone far beyond what is traditionally expected from an interior design shoprdquo

The industry leading store is a complete interior design shopping experience beautifully flowing uninterrupted from a coffee shop meeting space retail store fabric samples area to art gallery

The blended retail space offers everything and anything you might need ldquoThe draw card initially for customers especially for people who donrsquot know us as interior designers is the coffee shop and meeting space From there they can see beyond into the retail space which is adorned with beautiful little gifts and lovely things to buy for the home to larger items such as furniture and our interior design servicerdquo

Frobisher Interiors previously operated from a small villa in Merivale which was too small for

its needs The villa only just housed the team of staff restricted the number of samples on display and failed to properly showcase its work

When it came time to look for bigger premises it was a case of lsquogo big or go homersquo Ann-Marie says they looked at the big picture and made a massive wish list of everything they wanted in the new location then set to work making it a reality

It was also the site of New Zealandrsquos first public railway commissioned in 1863 Goods from Lyttelton were brought around on small boats and loaded onto the train which also carried passengers

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Designed to handle any load

cab chassis ldquoWe used to make the floor of a tipdeck to 6mm but with Hardox we can make them out of 4mm steel which makes a big difference to the weightrdquo

Quick turn around If you need a tipper body fast at a competitive rate Brokenshire Engineering is the team to call It has truck bodies in stock right now that can be custom-painted and fitted to a truck within two weeks But if you canrsquot find the right body in stock Brokenshire can custom-build paint install the pump oil tank and gas controls and fit it to the truck for just $45000 plus GST

Unparalleled products Brokenshirersquos ability to design and built anything for truck and trailers is unparalleled It builds new semi-tipper truck bodies and is the only business in the country that makes smooth surfaced runner-less tipper bodies

ldquoWe are the only people who make runner-less tipper bodies Most tipper bodies have got channels on them we donrsquot use channels This is the latest European designrdquo

It can also convert hydraulic truck breaks to an air break system and has three and five tonne full air axels on air suspension or springs available Henry has been in the transport engineering industry for 50 years and he says this experience in the industry means he can take on the difficult jobs that other people donrsquot want to CT

Beautifully finished in dark stained American Oak the space exudes elegance

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Therersquos a big focus on getting everyone involved including parents some of whom go on to achieve their lifeguard award CT

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

Indeed when customers purchase a new Nissan they are often surprised in the best way possible ndash wowed even

A modern motor vehicle is a marvel of advanced engineering and electronics - something often little appreciated With Nissan as long as the technology makes driving a safer experience thatrsquos all that matters - even if the driver is unaware of what is going on under the bonnet

Nissan has a long history of building strong dependable utility vehicles This new ute has redefined the utility vehicle market because of its top quality features Its ST-X model has a leather interior push button start keyless locking and best of all it feels like a car to drive

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

An ever increasing social conscience about energy use and the effect it has on our environment is causing companies like Solar Bright to look into alternative options Using solar power technology the Christchurch-based team is making leaps and bounds with energy-generating products which are spreading throughout the city and beyond

You may recognise Solar Bright as the company behind the solar-powered table in the city centrersquos ReStart mall which visitors could use to charge their mobile devices that were running low

The table which was on loan to the council has now been relocated to a new home at Burnside High School Being the largest school in the South Island the team at Solar Bright donated the table to the school knowing they would get good use out of it

It seems the team at Solar Bright has not stopped since then They have created and installed five more tables that are dotted around the city have had interest from North Canterbury and Auckland City Council for similar products and have even installed a solar shelter in Linwood for people to charge their devices in

Managing director Nicola Martin explains that the hunger for electricity is growing dramatically and solar energy provides an effective solution

ldquoItrsquos just using what naturersquos already given us Itrsquos a renewable source of energy and means not having to rely solely on electricityrdquo

At the moment Solar Bright is also trialling the charging tables at the McDonaldrsquos restaurants on Moorhouse Ave and in Sydenham The idea is to see how the technology will work indoors and what kind of savings the chains will make on electricity bills as customers are increasingly using power points in store to charge their devices with

Nicola explained that these solar powered charging outlets are a great solution to electricity blackouts If power were ever cut from the city again people would have places like the tables and shelters to use to make sure their mobiles and devices stay on the green light making sure communication methods are protected during emergencies

But charging mobile phones and tablets ar e not the only good ideas Solar Bright has In 2012 Nicolarsquos husband and inventor of their products

Pat Martin realised the need for the detection of frost on roads and came up with PATeye technology

It is again solar powered via the sun and headlights from cars during the night and works the same sort of way that cats eyes currently do on roads around the world

With PATeye the devices installed on roads will flash blue LED lights when the air temperature reaches a certain level to warn people of the potential dangers of slipping

Due to regulations around the world it may take a little while for Solar Bright to weave through the legislation of installing the device on public roads but for now they are rolling out PATeyes on private roads car parks and pathways

Lincoln University Kiwi Rail Dunedin City Council Christchurch Polytechnic and even private NHS roads in the UK are just some of the institutions already using the technology

Solar Bright won two awards at this yearrsquos Champion Canterbury Awards for the Champion Producer Manufacturer as a small enterprise and the CDC Innovation Award for its ldquoinnovative sustainable energy-efficient lighting solutions which enhance safety and lifestyle both domestically and internationallyrdquo CT

Interior design is no longer a stand-alone field it blends seamlessly into so many other areas of life setting the scene for a larger picture incorporating art retail and fine foods

The art of interior designInterior designer and co-owner of Frobisher Interiors Ann-Marie Appleton saw the opportunity to bring together these complementing crafts into one location and create an entirely new interior design experience in Christchurch She and her team at Frobisher Interiors proudly opened the innovative new store on Manchester Street a year ago

The completely modern take on the store is unlike anything around ldquoWe are the only interior design business in the city that encompasses everything that interior design is about in one building Wersquove gone far beyond what is traditionally expected from an interior design shoprdquo

The industry leading store is a complete interior design shopping experience beautifully flowing uninterrupted from a coffee shop meeting space retail store fabric samples area to art gallery

The blended retail space offers everything and anything you might need ldquoThe draw card initially for customers especially for people who donrsquot know us as interior designers is the coffee shop and meeting space From there they can see beyond into the retail space which is adorned with beautiful little gifts and lovely things to buy for the home to larger items such as furniture and our interior design servicerdquo

Frobisher Interiors previously operated from a small villa in Merivale which was too small for

its needs The villa only just housed the team of staff restricted the number of samples on display and failed to properly showcase its work

When it came time to look for bigger premises it was a case of lsquogo big or go homersquo Ann-Marie says they looked at the big picture and made a massive wish list of everything they wanted in the new location then set to work making it a reality

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Designed to handle any load

cab chassis ldquoWe used to make the floor of a tipdeck to 6mm but with Hardox we can make them out of 4mm steel which makes a big difference to the weightrdquo

Quick turn around If you need a tipper body fast at a competitive rate Brokenshire Engineering is the team to call It has truck bodies in stock right now that can be custom-painted and fitted to a truck within two weeks But if you canrsquot find the right body in stock Brokenshire can custom-build paint install the pump oil tank and gas controls and fit it to the truck for just $45000 plus GST

Unparalleled products Brokenshirersquos ability to design and built anything for truck and trailers is unparalleled It builds new semi-tipper truck bodies and is the only business in the country that makes smooth surfaced runner-less tipper bodies

ldquoWe are the only people who make runner-less tipper bodies Most tipper bodies have got channels on them we donrsquot use channels This is the latest European designrdquo

It can also convert hydraulic truck breaks to an air break system and has three and five tonne full air axels on air suspension or springs available Henry has been in the transport engineering industry for 50 years and he says this experience in the industry means he can take on the difficult jobs that other people donrsquot want to CT

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Therersquos a big focus on getting everyone involved including parents some of whom go on to achieve their lifeguard award CT

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

Interior design is no longer a stand-alone field it blends seamlessly into so many other areas of life setting the scene for a larger picture incorporating art retail and fine foods

The art of interior designInterior designer and co-owner of Frobisher Interiors Ann-Marie Appleton saw the opportunity to bring together these complementing crafts into one location and create an entirely new interior design experience in Christchurch She and her team at Frobisher Interiors proudly opened the innovative new store on Manchester Street a year ago

The completely modern take on the store is unlike anything around ldquoWe are the only interior design business in the city that encompasses everything that interior design is about in one building Wersquove gone far beyond what is traditionally expected from an interior design shoprdquo

The industry leading store is a complete interior design shopping experience beautifully flowing uninterrupted from a coffee shop meeting space retail store fabric samples area to art gallery

The blended retail space offers everything and anything you might need ldquoThe draw card initially for customers especially for people who donrsquot know us as interior designers is the coffee shop and meeting space From there they can see beyond into the retail space which is adorned with beautiful little gifts and lovely things to buy for the home to larger items such as furniture and our interior design servicerdquo

Frobisher Interiors previously operated from a small villa in Merivale which was too small for

its needs The villa only just housed the team of staff restricted the number of samples on display and failed to properly showcase its work

When it came time to look for bigger premises it was a case of lsquogo big or go homersquo Ann-Marie says they looked at the big picture and made a massive wish list of everything they wanted in the new location then set to work making it a reality

Focus |emspFerrymead Heritage Park

Ferrymead gets set for a scorching summerFerrymead Heritage Park has something for every member of the family from nana and grandad right down to their young grandchildren

The historic park in Christchurch provides a step back in time for history lovers and is a great place to take the kids during long summer afternoons

Earthquake repairs almost completedFerrymead operations manager Kim Dunkley says while the park suffered a big hit in the Christchurch earthquakes most of the damaged buildings are now repaired and reopened including the railway station Cobb cottage the tobacconist barber shop the kiosk with a detailed model of Ferrymead Village and the stables The Model Railway Society also reopened its buildings recently

ldquoItrsquos been difficult since the earthquakes particularly since wersquore in the eastern part of Christchurchrdquo Kim says ldquoThere are still more earthquake repairs to be donerdquo

Extensive roadworks on the Ferrymead Bridge are also completed meaning access to the park has never been easier

Summer events for the familyThe reopening of these buildings means Ferrymead Heritage Park now has a lot to offer families this summer The park is open daily from 10am to 4pm with its beautiful historic steam train running on the first Sunday of each month

ldquoWe had a fantastic labour weekend here as Ferrymead celebrated its 50th birthday We looked at how the park has evolved and grownhellip we got 4000 people through over two days Wersquore seasonal so wersquore looking forward to a good summerrdquo

Ferrymead Heritage Park will host the Nostalgia Music Festival on February 20th The festival will feature a range of musicians and bands including the Phoenix Foundation and is a popular event in the city

The park is also planning a Grandparentsrsquo Weekend at the end of January where children get in for free when accompanied by their grandparents

The park trust and staff are looking forward to a great summer season

A slice of Christchurch historyFerrymead Heritage Park gives a unique insight into early Christchurch life which school children throughout the region also enjoy

The park was formed in the 1960s by a group of local heritage enthusiasts dedicated to preserving the past for future generations to enjoy It is located in an area of rich historical significance to Christchurch and was used extensively by colonists who walked over the Bridle Path from Lyttelton and down Ferry Road to their new life in Christchurch

It was also the site of New Zealandrsquos first public railway commissioned in 1863 Goods from Lyttelton were brought around on small boats and loaded onto the train which also carried passengers

Ferrymead features an early 1900s Edwardian township with exhibits such as houses picture theatre school classroom church jail railway station lodge hall post office

There is also a large array of heritage museums and displays that are often open for viewing particularly on Sundays

These museums are owned and operated by individual societies which restore and display their own collections including tractors fire engines aeroplanes trams trains theatrical operations mini rail model trains radios photography and much more

Kim says the number of schools bringing students through has grown significantly in recent years and children love the old classroom and dressing up in historic clothes

Ferrymead is also an increasingly popular location for functions and weddings which are held in the Friendly Society lodge hall and adjacent grassy area CT

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Projects range from new homes and buildings to alterations within existing structures additions and furniture design

offering a range of quality services including residential commercial industrial hospitality and community projects

Wulf says his practice is committed to providing only high quality design and undertakes thorough communication with clients consultants contractors and end users throughout the process

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

This growth is due in part to forming productive working relationships and Service Foods would like to thank all its suppliers and customers including Porkcorp

A wider product rangeThis ongoing success has been realised with the companyrsquos new fresh foods division opened last December to provide customers with an even greater range of product choices

Ferrymead gets set for a scorching summerFerrymead Heritage Park has something for every member of the family from nana and grandad right down to their young grandchildren

The historic park in Christchurch provides a step back in time for history lovers and is a great place to take the kids during long summer afternoons

Earthquake repairs almost completedFerrymead operations manager Kim Dunkley says while the park suffered a big hit in the Christchurch earthquakes most of the damaged buildings are now repaired and reopened including the railway station Cobb cottage the tobacconist barber shop the kiosk with a detailed model of Ferrymead Village and the stables The Model Railway Society also reopened its buildings recently

ldquoItrsquos been difficult since the earthquakes particularly since wersquore in the eastern part of Christchurchrdquo Kim says ldquoThere are still more earthquake repairs to be donerdquo

Extensive roadworks on the Ferrymead Bridge are also completed meaning access to the park has never been easier

Summer events for the familyThe reopening of these buildings means Ferrymead Heritage Park now has a lot to offer families this summer The park is open daily from 10am to 4pm with its beautiful historic steam train running on the first Sunday of each month

ldquoWe had a fantastic labour weekend here as Ferrymead celebrated its 50th birthday We looked at how the park has evolved and grownhellip we got 4000 people through over two days Wersquore seasonal so wersquore looking forward to a good summerrdquo

Ferrymead Heritage Park will host the Nostalgia Music Festival on February 20th The festival will feature a range of musicians and bands including the Phoenix Foundation and is a popular event in the city

The park is also planning a Grandparentsrsquo Weekend at the end of January where children get in for free when accompanied by their grandparents

It was also the site of New Zealandrsquos first public railway commissioned in 1863 Goods from Lyttelton were brought around on small boats and loaded onto the train which also carried passengers

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Designed to handle any load

cab chassis ldquoWe used to make the floor of a tipdeck to 6mm but with Hardox we can make them out of 4mm steel which makes a big difference to the weightrdquo

Quick turn around If you need a tipper body fast at a competitive rate Brokenshire Engineering is the team to call It has truck bodies in stock right now that can be custom-painted and fitted to a truck within two weeks But if you canrsquot find the right body in stock Brokenshire can custom-build paint install the pump oil tank and gas controls and fit it to the truck for just $45000 plus GST

Unparalleled products Brokenshirersquos ability to design and built anything for truck and trailers is unparalleled It builds new semi-tipper truck bodies and is the only business in the country that makes smooth surfaced runner-less tipper bodies

ldquoWe are the only people who make runner-less tipper bodies Most tipper bodies have got channels on them we donrsquot use channels This is the latest European designrdquo

It can also convert hydraulic truck breaks to an air break system and has three and five tonne full air axels on air suspension or springs available Henry has been in the transport engineering industry for 50 years and he says this experience in the industry means he can take on the difficult jobs that other people donrsquot want to CT

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

ldquoWe respect each otherrsquos abilities and feel we have the right blend to make our projects exciting and rewarding for all involvedrdquo Tim says

A high standard of work ethic is paramount and the team believes quality and finish should not be compromised by money and timeline

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

Ferrymead gets set for a scorching summerFerrymead Heritage Park has something for every member of the family from nana and grandad right down to their young grandchildren

The historic park in Christchurch provides a step back in time for history lovers and is a great place to take the kids during long summer afternoons

Earthquake repairs almost completedFerrymead operations manager Kim Dunkley says while the park suffered a big hit in the Christchurch earthquakes most of the damaged buildings are now repaired and reopened including the railway station Cobb cottage the tobacconist barber shop the kiosk with a detailed model of Ferrymead Village and the stables The Model Railway Society also reopened its buildings recently

ldquoItrsquos been difficult since the earthquakes particularly since wersquore in the eastern part of Christchurchrdquo Kim says ldquoThere are still more earthquake repairs to be donerdquo

Extensive roadworks on the Ferrymead Bridge are also completed meaning access to the park has never been easier

Summer events for the familyThe reopening of these buildings means Ferrymead Heritage Park now has a lot to offer families this summer The park is open daily from 10am to 4pm with its beautiful historic steam train running on the first Sunday of each month

ldquoWe had a fantastic labour weekend here as Ferrymead celebrated its 50th birthday We looked at how the park has evolved and grownhellip we got 4000 people through over two days Wersquore seasonal so wersquore looking forward to a good summerrdquo

Ferrymead Heritage Park will host the Nostalgia Music Festival on February 20th The festival will feature a range of musicians and bands including the Phoenix Foundation and is a popular event in the city

The park is also planning a Grandparentsrsquo Weekend at the end of January where children get in for free when accompanied by their grandparents

ldquoWersquove had Grandparents Weekend before and itrsquos been very successful By the last weekend of the school holidays parents are often back at work and the grandparents can bring the kids along and spend the dayrdquo

The park trust and staff are looking forward to a great summer season

ldquoA lot of people know about Ferrymead but itrsquos off their radar We want to put it back on the radar if yoursquove got friends staying or kids who are bored then come out for the dayrdquo

The park was formed in the 1960s by a group of local heritage enthusiasts dedicated to preserving the past for future generations to enjoy It is located in an area of rich historical significance to Christchurch and was used extensively by colonists who walked over the Bridle Path from Lyttelton and down Ferry Road to their new life in Christchurch

It was also the site of New Zealandrsquos first public railway commissioned in 1863 Goods from Lyttelton were brought around on small boats and loaded onto the train which also carried passengers

Ferrymead features an early 1900s Edwardian township with exhibits such as houses picture theatre school classroom church jail railway station lodge hall post office

Kim says the number of schools bringing students through has grown significantly in recent years and children love the old classroom and dressing up in historic clothes

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Designed to handle any load

cab chassis ldquoWe used to make the floor of a tipdeck to 6mm but with Hardox we can make them out of 4mm steel which makes a big difference to the weightrdquo

Quick turn around If you need a tipper body fast at a competitive rate Brokenshire Engineering is the team to call It has truck bodies in stock right now that can be custom-painted and fitted to a truck within two weeks But if you canrsquot find the right body in stock Brokenshire can custom-build paint install the pump oil tank and gas controls and fit it to the truck for just $45000 plus GST

Unparalleled products Brokenshirersquos ability to design and built anything for truck and trailers is unparalleled It builds new semi-tipper truck bodies and is the only business in the country that makes smooth surfaced runner-less tipper bodies

ldquoWe are the only people who make runner-less tipper bodies Most tipper bodies have got channels on them we donrsquot use channels This is the latest European designrdquo

It can also convert hydraulic truck breaks to an air break system and has three and five tonne full air axels on air suspension or springs available Henry has been in the transport engineering industry for 50 years and he says this experience in the industry means he can take on the difficult jobs that other people donrsquot want to CT

Multiple NZ Master Joiner awards winner Best Canterbury Region Award 2009 2010 2011 2013

Manufacturing the award winning kitchen for Sugrue construction

Kitchens are the heart of the home Some of us build them up over time while others can start from scratch to create their idea of perfection

Giving homes award-winning style

Starting from scratch can be a daunting but also very worthy task especially if you have a team like Sugrue Construction behind you managing each step of the way

Sugrue Construction was formed in 2005 by Steven Sugrue after spending several years overseas in the construction industry and deciding to bring his skills back home again

Offering professional and high quality construction services to those around the city the team at Sugrue are dedicated to making each project a success Working on mainly residential projects every piece of their work receives star treatment so customers are left completely satisfied even after the builders have left

Heart of the Home Kitchen Award winnerOne of their most recent projects a gorgeous home in Merivale Christchurch has been in the spotlight for receiving the 2015 Registered Master Builders House of the Year seal of approval

The project won the Heart of the Home Kitchen Award and received great acclaim from judges ldquoThe kitchen has been designed as an integral part of this homerdquo they said

ldquoA comprehensive selection of modern appliances and fixtures along with the large butlerrsquos pantry and adjacent large glass fronted wine cellar make this a functional kitchen

Beautifully finished in dark stained American Oak the space exudes elegance

ldquoThis contemporary kitchen containing a well-balanced but restrained palette of materials is designed and built for the ultimate in entertainingrdquo

A successful roadWith his team Steven has been able to complete a number of construction projects that have won them several other awards over the years

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Therersquos a big focus on getting everyone involved including parents some of whom go on to achieve their lifeguard award CT

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

The park was formed in the 1960s by a group of local heritage enthusiasts dedicated to preserving the past for future generations to enjoy It is located in an area of rich historical significance to Christchurch and was used extensively by colonists who walked over the Bridle Path from Lyttelton and down Ferry Road to their new life in Christchurch

It was also the site of New Zealandrsquos first public railway commissioned in 1863 Goods from Lyttelton were brought around on small boats and loaded onto the train which also carried passengers

Ferrymead features an early 1900s Edwardian township with exhibits such as houses picture theatre school classroom church jail railway station lodge hall post office

Kim says the number of schools bringing students through has grown significantly in recent years and children love the old classroom and dressing up in historic clothes

Are you in the business of transporting heavy loads around the city or across the country Then you need to know the name Brokenshire Engineering

Brokenshire Engineering is in the business of helping you do your job with ease and efficiency It can design and build virtually anything that goes on a truck or trailer specialising in building tipper truck bodies

The Christchurch company was formed by Henry Brokenshire in 1989 and is today a specialist transport engineering business

Built to lastTruck and trailer units can receive some pretty hard wear and tear that inevitably deteriorates a vehicle over time But Brokenshire has discovered a new hardwearing material that can withstand the challenges that heavy vehicles and machinery are put up to

Itrsquos called abrasive resistant 450-grade plate Hardox steel itrsquos considerably harder than other steel typically used for transport engineering in New Zealand and itrsquos new to the country

Henry Brokenshire says the extremely hard wearing product has been used overseas for a number of years ldquoThe wear resistant steel is used in Europe for making digger buckets and grading bladesrdquo

Now the innovative business is engineering the majority of its products with abrasive resistant 450-grade plate including tipper bodies and

Designed to handle any load

cab chassis ldquoWe used to make the floor of a tipdeck to 6mm but with Hardox we can make them out of 4mm steel which makes a big difference to the weightrdquo

Its extensive experience enables it to advise clients at the outset of differing site and building options within the context of planning guidelines and development control constraints

Projects range from new homes and buildings to alterations within existing structures additions and furniture design

offering a range of quality services including residential commercial industrial hospitality and community projects

Wulf says his practice is committed to providing only high quality design and undertakes thorough communication with clients consultants contractors and end users throughout the process

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

Its extensive experience enables it to advise clients at the outset of differing site and building options within the context of planning guidelines and development control constraints

Projects range from new homes and buildings to alterations within existing structures additions and furniture design

offering a range of quality services including residential commercial industrial hospitality and community projects

Wulf says his practice is committed to providing only high quality design and undertakes thorough communication with clients consultants contractors and end users throughout the process

ldquoFor us every commission is unique and special in its own way and we encourage our clients to be involved throughout the design and construction process as this always brings about a more rewarding result

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

Multiple NZ Master Joiner awards winner Best Canterbury Region Award 2009 2010 2011 2013

Manufacturing the award winning kitchen for Sugrue construction

Kitchens are the heart of the home Some of us build them up over time while others can start from scratch to create their idea of perfection

Offering professional and high quality construction services to those around the city the team at Sugrue are dedicated to making each project a success Working on mainly residential projects every piece of their work receives star treatment so customers are left completely satisfied even after the builders have left

Heart of the Home Kitchen Award winnerOne of their most recent projects a gorgeous home in Merivale Christchurch has been in the spotlight for receiving the 2015 Registered Master Builders House of the Year seal of approval

The project won the Heart of the Home Kitchen Award and received great acclaim from judges ldquoThe kitchen has been designed as an integral part of this homerdquo they said

ldquoA comprehensive selection of modern appliances and fixtures along with the large butlerrsquos pantry and adjacent large glass fronted wine cellar make this a functional kitchen

Beautifully finished in dark stained American Oak the space exudes elegance

ldquoThis contemporary kitchen containing a well-balanced but restrained palette of materials is designed and built for the ultimate in entertainingrdquo

A successful roadWith his team Steven has been able to complete a number of construction projects that have won them several other awards over the years

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

ldquoMost windows in the early days of the company were single glazed Today they are double glazed

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

Multiple NZ Master Joiner awards winner Best Canterbury Region Award 2009 2010 2011 2013

Manufacturing the award winning kitchen for Sugrue construction

Kitchens are the heart of the home Some of us build them up over time while others can start from scratch to create their idea of perfection

Giving homes award-winning style

Starting from scratch can be a daunting but also very worthy task especially if you have a team like Sugrue Construction behind you managing each step of the way

Sugrue Construction was formed in 2005 by Steven Sugrue after spending several years overseas in the construction industry and deciding to bring his skills back home again

Offering professional and high quality construction services to those around the city the team at Sugrue are dedicated to making each project a success Working on mainly residential projects every piece of their work receives star treatment so customers are left completely satisfied even after the builders have left

Heart of the Home Kitchen Award winnerOne of their most recent projects a gorgeous home in Merivale Christchurch has been in the spotlight for receiving the 2015 Registered Master Builders House of the Year seal of approval

The project won the Heart of the Home Kitchen Award and received great acclaim from judges ldquoThe kitchen has been designed as an integral part of this homerdquo they said

ldquoA comprehensive selection of modern appliances and fixtures along with the large butlerrsquos pantry and adjacent large glass fronted wine cellar make this a functional kitchen

Beautifully finished in dark stained American Oak the space exudes elegance

ldquoThis contemporary kitchen containing a well-balanced but restrained palette of materials is designed and built for the ultimate in entertainingrdquo

A successful roadWith his team Steven has been able to complete a number of construction projects that have won them several other awards over the years

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

Indeed when customers purchase a new Nissan they are often surprised in the best way possible ndash wowed even

A modern motor vehicle is a marvel of advanced engineering and electronics - something often little appreciated With Nissan as long as the technology makes driving a safer experience thatrsquos all that matters - even if the driver is unaware of what is going on under the bonnet

Nissan has a long history of building strong dependable utility vehicles This new ute has redefined the utility vehicle market because of its top quality features Its ST-X model has a leather interior push button start keyless locking and best of all it feels like a car to drive

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

Property amp Construction |emspSumner Surf Life Saving Club

Itrsquos another sign that the earthquake-hit Christchurch suburb of Sumner is recovering The Sumner Surf Life Saving Clubrsquos brand new clubhouse is complete and makes a striking architectural statement on the main road into Sumner Village The building most certainly does justice to the multi-million spend the club has invested in its future

Founded in 1911 the Sumnerrsquos club was the second surf life saving club formed in Canterbury but the February 2011 quake irreparably damaged the organisationrsquos 1950s clubhouse which was demolished by August 2011

Fundraising began immediately to top up a small insurance payout and to achieve a level of design and quality beyond simply a traditional ldquoconcrete block and iron roofrdquo building

The vision was to create a design not only ideal for the clubrsquos use but also a visually attractive structure given its high profile location

Sumnerrsquos life savers get a new HQ

Rather than being satisfied with replacing what they had the club developed a brief which would function well be structurally able to endure both ocean and earthquake events and which would also respect its environment

Local architect David Hill designed a stunning building The roof is curved and in three long sections which resemble the shapes of the surrounding sand dunes and the patterns of the searsquos waves

The back of the building is constructed from concrete tilt slab panels that visually anchor the building into the cliff face behind The front is clad with cedar a material that has a lighter feel to it and which will weather off naturally to blend with the sand

The buildingrsquos foundation is a special design where the slab sits on a gravel raft to allow the structure to move in an earthquake This raft is

protected from the ocean via a series of sand-filled bags along the foundationrsquos seaward edge

The building is a single storey apart from the dedicated patrol tower in the centre which is elevated to provide 180 degree views of the beach and the water Two of the three sections of the building are set aside for lifeguarding activities and storage while facing out towards

the beach is a large function room or pavilion which can also be hired out by other community groups or the public

The first sod for the construction was ceremoniously turned in December 2014 and much to the delight of the club and of the greater community the building was ready for occupation in late November in time for the beginning of the voluntary weekend patrols

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Therersquos a big focus on getting everyone involved including parents some of whom go on to achieve their lifeguard award CT

Calvin says it wasnrsquot a hard decision when the opportunity arose to work together again and establish Takahe Construction in April 2010 The rest as they say is history

ldquoWe respect each otherrsquos abilities and feel we have the right blend to make our projects exciting and rewarding for all involvedrdquo Tim says

ldquoOur belief when incorporating Takahe five years ago was that we needed to have a point of difference in a market that is saturated with building companies We set about this by building relationships with some the best architects in Christchurch who design homes for their high-profile professional clientsrdquo

A high standard of work ethic is paramount and the team believes quality and finish should not be compromised by money and timeline

ldquoWe work with clients that are realistic and expect the best and can appreciate that this is always our work ethicrdquo Calvin says

ldquoTakahe Construction is a name you can trust With over 50 yearsrsquo combined experience we have an excellent reputation for doing a great job

ldquoWe work closely with architects to give advice to their clients on the right building and material options to make the building process easy and worry-freerdquo

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

Club activities When the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1911 its sole purpose was to prevent the death by drowning of people swimming in the sea at Sumner Beach

The clubrsquos activities may have broadened considerably since then but the community service of providing surf patrols over the summer months is still fundamental to the clubrsquos operation

From the end of November through to mid-March patrols of trained volunteers keep a watchful eye over those in the water in a patrolled area in front of the clubhouse

There are 10 volunteers in each patrol and eight patrols work on a roster system ldquoWe have been able to maintain our membership at a high level for the past four years while operating out of containersrdquo says Blair Quane chair of the clubrsquos Rebuild Committee

ldquoI expect we could have even more interest this year with our new clubhouse up and running Our members really enjoy being on the beach in a voluntary role and helping out in the communityrdquo

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club has an excellent reputation as a key patrolling club in Canterbury Because they have one of the busiest and most challenging beaches in Christchurch to

patrol they expect only the highest standards of their lifeguards which are achieved through ongoing training and participating in surf sports and competitions

During each summer season there are a large number of carnivals and events that provide the opportunity to race compete and have fun while developing skills and experience at the same time These events also promote good sportsmanship in racing against friends and fellow lifeguards from all over New Zealand

The Sumner Surf Life Saving Club also has a Junior Surf programme that takes place on the beach every Sunday morning in the summer This programme made up of several modules

of different activities is for children to have fun and to learn how to be safe in the surf

Therersquos a big focus on getting everyone involved including parents some of whom go on to achieve their lifeguard award CT

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

Calvin says it wasnrsquot a hard decision when the opportunity arose to work together again and establish Takahe Construction in April 2010 The rest as they say is history

ldquoWe respect each otherrsquos abilities and feel we have the right blend to make our projects exciting and rewarding for all involvedrdquo Tim says

ldquoOur belief when incorporating Takahe five years ago was that we needed to have a point of difference in a market that is saturated with building companies We set about this by building relationships with some the best architects in Christchurch who design homes for their high-profile professional clientsrdquo

A high standard of work ethic is paramount and the team believes quality and finish should not be compromised by money and timeline

ldquoWe work with clients that are realistic and expect the best and can appreciate that this is always our work ethicrdquo Calvin says

ldquoTakahe Construction is a name you can trust With over 50 yearsrsquo combined experience we have an excellent reputation for doing a great job

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

Indeed when customers purchase a new Nissan they are often surprised in the best way possible ndash wowed even

A modern motor vehicle is a marvel of advanced engineering and electronics - something often little appreciated With Nissan as long as the technology makes driving a safer experience thatrsquos all that matters - even if the driver is unaware of what is going on under the bonnet

The newest addition to the Nissan range is the Nissan Navara NP300 priced from just $31990 which was introduced to the New Zealand market in mid-2015

Nissan has a long history of building strong dependable utility vehicles This new ute has redefined the utility vehicle market because of its top quality features Its ST-X model has a leather interior push button start keyless locking and best of all it feels like a car to drive

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

ldquoYou can come in and have a barista coffee and something to eat Most of our cafeacute products are salmon-based products such as a salmon pie cold-smoked salmon bagels or salmon platters You can also buy some fresh salmon to take home while yoursquore hererdquo

The cafeacute and retail store is extremely popular with visitors to the region particularly Chinese tourists with staff gearing up for the busy season between December and Easter

ldquoThings have been going very well and we get a lot of good feedbackrdquo Rae says

ldquoWe get between 20000 and 30000 people through a month in the busy season and Twizel is really humming along Itrsquos a working salmon farm so you can see the fish and whatrsquos happening and buy some fresh fish to take homerdquo

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

Windows and doors play a vital role in a home or commercial buildingrsquos design as theyrsquore now expected to look good and function efficiently

Windows and doors that work

in a variety of colours and a mix of different ranges including our increasingly popular thermally broken aluminium joineryrdquo Lynne says

Known as the Designer Thermal Series the thermally broken system involves separating the window or door frame into exterior and interior components and inserting a less conducive reinforced black polyamide insulating strip in the centre of the profile as a thermal insulation break

Quite simply the break stops the heat being lost through the frame during cold weather and heat coming in during warm weather

Thermally broken windows when combined with double glazing can provide up to a 64 percent improvement in thermal efficiency compared to standard aluminium joinery

The productrsquos huge benefits are becoming increasingly realised by discerning home owners seeking to make their home as warm dry and maintenance-free as possible

Shearmac has built a new factory alongside its existing Methven factory to manufacture the Designer Series which is now available in a 55mm triple glazed suite offering even greater insulation benefits

ldquoTherersquos even the ability to have dual colour aluminium joinery So you arenrsquot restricted to having the same colour on the inside and the outside making it a practical and aesthetically complete productrdquo

Fairview Exceptional Windows and DoorsShearmac is also an authorised manufacturer and installer of Fairview Exceptional Windows and Doors These products are designed for local conditions meet all weather-tightness standards and are proven performers in New Zealandrsquos unforgiving climatic conditions

There is the Residential Series ndash Fairviewrsquos standard range ndash which delivers exceptional value for money The Evolution Suite which is highly versatile the Architectural Suite is for high-end projects and ideal for making a statement and therersquos Timberview offering the sophisticated warmth and beauty of timber on the inside while delivering the strength and durability of aluminium on the outside

Introducing Flat Faced FramesAnother exciting product recently released to the market are Flat Faced FramesThese deliver a clean modern look to any property

As well as a consistent visual appearance other improvements with Flat Faced Frames include the capacity for increased double glazed thickness resulting in a wider range of glass options

You can use flush tracks with an aesthetically pleasing flat appearance and there is the capacity for larger panel weights on slidingstacker doors giving larger openings and more design flexibility

They also deliver improved water egress equalling drier homes and additional strength in hinged and bifold doors giving better performance and longevity

And considering New Zealandrsquos changeable climate it is a role which is crucial You could say itrsquos the essential case of delivering form and function

It is here where aluminium joinery delivers on both counts ndash just ask Shearmac Aluminium Shearmac has played a vital role in the regionrsquos joinery manufacturing capabilities for more than a quarter of a century

Established in 1989 with just five staff Shearmac Aluminium now boasts 23 highly skilled staff including directors Lyell Shearer Lynne McDonald and Karl Burmester

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

Transport amp Motoring |emspSouthbrook Autos

Repairing your car can be a nuisance if yoursquore not in the right hands and it can be hard to know where to find a trusted mechanic in such a competitive market

New home designed with clients in mind

Southbrook Autos has been servicing the Rangiora community with mechanical repairs for over 15 years now The small but efficient team of three used to be stationed behind a Shell garage in town but are now in a new spot on Edwards Street meaning greater ease and accessibility for customers

Their new spot sits just on the outskirts of an industrial estate is close to town and across the road from a residential area so customers arenrsquot too far away from local amenities if they have to drop their car off

If customers are a little further out though or need a vehicle for the day they can use one of the loan cars that Southbrook Autos offers while their vehicle gets repaired

The team at Southbrook consist of owners Martin and Lisa McGoldrick and new mechanic Andrew Martin and Andrew are fully qualified automotive technicians with many years spent in the industry

Before setting up the business Martin worked in a range of garages from franchise to non-franchise so has picked up many skills along the way and has injected them into his work with Southbrook

Fifteen years is a long time to be in business but the hard working garage has managed to keep customers happy throughout the years and have brought many long-serving and loyal customers with them during their move to a new premises

ldquoOne of our main focuses is we try to be as transparent and honest as we can We donrsquot try and complicate things we try and do the

best for the customer and their vehicle ndash doing justice for them both getting the best results possiblerdquo says Lisa

The garage is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday mornings 8am to 1pm CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

Everything to make moving easy

Aspiring to grow and drive a business to great heights is what keeps a company on the road to an increasingly successful future With a reputable business history work tracking along nicely and a clear business goal in mind Peter Fletcher Transport is one company inline for a bright outlook The Christchurch owned and operated business was established 21 years ago by Peter and Sue Fletcher The pair started of doing furniture relocations with two trucks and three vans

From its small beginnings the business has expanded both its size and services substantially The husband and wife team recently retired from the company having overseen the fleet expanding from five to 35 vehicles The business has stayed in the family with their son Jamie taking over as general manager

The operations manager Kerry Payton says the company has come a long way but thanks to its increasing popularity and customer base its potential has yet to be reached

ldquoWe are currently a medium sized business but we definitely have the potential to increase significantly Our goal is to put more trucks on the road and eventually increase our fleet to 50 trucks We are also looking at creating three hubs across the Christchurch region so we can better support and service our customersrdquo

The transport business specialises in three areas relocations warehouse and distribution and container handling and Kerry says the three services are very much interlinked ldquoWe are a one stop shop for transport and logistics Customers can tell us what they need to get done and we will handle everything organising the staff and the systems needed to get the job donerdquo

Relocations The businessrsquo original offering of furniture relocations domestically or globally still remains the staple of its work Furniture removal and relocation of household and office furniture is easy work for this experienced company

It offers an accurate and free no obligation quote and gives you the option of packing your own belongings or it can provide staff to do so

ldquoOur service is second to none because we go the extra mile for our customers Irsquove gone out to our storage unit at 12 orsquoclock at night because a customer forgot to take their passports with them

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

Truly advanced engineering The range of Nissan SUV vehicles 4x4s and off-roaders at Cockram Motors easily accommodates those looking for a lsquodo-everythingrsquo family vehicle or trades people and businesses looking for a rugged vehicle that looks great with sign writing for commercial use

Indeed when customers purchase a new Nissan they are often surprised in the best way possible ndash wowed even

Much of the credit for customersrsquo satisfaction comes down to the technological elements that Nissan as a company commits huge resources into developing and refining

Their vehicles look good - normally the first thing a customer is interested in They are

extremely comfortable and user-friendly to drive too ndash another tick for the potential buyer But these vehicles also include safety features that you might expect to find only in luxury European vehicles

A modern motor vehicle is a marvel of advanced engineering and electronics - something often little appreciated With Nissan as long as the technology makes driving a safer experience thatrsquos all that matters - even if the driver is unaware of what is going on under the bonnet

The newest addition to the Nissan range is the Nissan Navara NP300 priced from just $31990 which was introduced to the New Zealand market in mid-2015

Nissan has a long history of building strong dependable utility vehicles This new ute has redefined the utility vehicle market because of its top quality features Its ST-X model has a leather interior push button start keyless locking and best of all it feels like a car to drive

ldquoThatrsquos the constant feedback we get from customersrdquo Jacob says ldquoThatrsquos why not only tradies construction firms and farmers are buying them but also city peoplerdquo

Then there is the Nissan Qashqai an SUV that is proving very popular This vehicle combines stylish European looks with a dynamic ride and handling that puts the driver in complete control

It also has amazing innovative features Its Ti model features intelligent park assist around

view monitor and satellite navigation blind spot warning lane departure warning and moving object detection smartphone integration and a panoramic glass roof

There are many benefits to owning a new Nissan vehicle such as a Three Year Warranty and AA Roadside Assist plus of course the great customer experience CT

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

DONrsquoT RELINE OR INSULATE WITH BORER

Target Pest Canterbury Ltd are proud to be supporting the Pest Management Association of NZ

Cockroaches and ants spiders and beetleshellip there are lots of advertisements on the radio right now about how to give these creepy crawlies the ldquoheave hordquo when they invade our homes during the summer months Using products bought from a home store may be all very well for an insignificant infestation but more than that does require the services of a professional pest control firm

Pest control refers to the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest usually because it is perceived to be detrimental to a personrsquos health the ecology or the economy Many pest control firms operate in the built environment such as residential homes hospitals commercial premises hospitality outlets warehouses and storage areas as opposed to rural locations

Advising the public about the role of this industry as protectors of food health and property is the Pest Management Association of New Zealand (PMANZ)

Acting in much the same way as the Motor Vehicle Tradersrsquo Association or the Master Buildersrsquo Association do for their area of expertise PMANZ is a volunteer association run by pest managers for pest managers with more than 290 members

The association was formed in 1976 ndash 40 years ago next year - to provide a unified voice when important issues arose that required the industryrsquos input An example would be technical advice given to the National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee in relation to the use of glueboard traps (and subsequent banning of their use or sale unless approved by the Ministry of Primary Industries) for the capture of rodents and identifying alternatives to glueboard traps for rodent control and monitoring

The association has also been involved with promoting the review of all pesticides in New

Initatives |emspPest Management Association of NZ

Setting an industryrsquos standards

Zealand as well as providing input to standards and codes of practice for various industries such as the food and maritime sectors

From its beginning PMANZ has been a clear consistently positive voice for the industry providing support services consumer information access to technical information and educational training material for its members PMANZ membership or evidence of a professional qualification is often used as a means of facility auditing and contract specification by the client

It demonstrates that the technician is qualified in pest management and has the relevant expertise for the specific contract The PMANZ website (wwwpmanznz) is available to members of the public where they are able to identify professionally qualified technicians within their location and access common pest fact sheets

A Full Technician member of PMANZ has attained the New Zealand Certificate in Pest Operations (or equivalent) holds current Public Liability Insurance has an Approved Handler Licence for chemicals andor Controlled Substances Licence completed First Aid Training and has a Health amp Safety Policy in place

Many local authorities companies and government departments now require that pest management companies they employ are members of PMANZ

The use of the association logo on pest management firmsrsquo advertising identifies full membership of a recognised group of professionals whose members provide pest management services carried out safely and efficiently in keeping with good practices to a code of ethics as well as maintaining high business standards

Although there are some significant employers within the sector the majority of technicians are sole traders registered one-director companies and franchisees who have completed formal training provided by and through Careerforce and Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd

This training meets all the aims of the pest management industry PMANZ values and expectations and is a means to achieving national standards and industry best practice

PMANZ investigates and takes appropriate actions in regards to complaints from the public regulator agencies and other members if the event involves a PMANZ member

It does not investigate complaints against non-members but will offer technical advice and guidance if required when the complaint is referred to agencies such as Worksafe or local territorial authorities CT

ldquoYou can come in and have a barista coffee and something to eat Most of our cafeacute products are salmon-based products such as a salmon pie cold-smoked salmon bagels or salmon platters You can also buy some fresh salmon to take home while yoursquore hererdquo

The cafeacute and retail store is extremely popular with visitors to the region particularly Chinese tourists with staff gearing up for the busy season between December and Easter

To keep up with business High Country Salmon has also expanded its farming operation and has almost doubled the number of smolt (baby fish) it received this year from Silverstream Hatchery in comparison with three years ago

ldquoThings have been going very well and we get a lot of good feedbackrdquo Rae says

ldquoWe get between 20000 and 30000 people through a month in the busy season and Twizel is really humming along Itrsquos a working salmon farm so you can see the fish and whatrsquos happening and buy some fresh fish to take homerdquo
