What a day to remember. More than 200 people, including Darrell, Marlene and the Trigg team, came together at the end of August to celebrate the opening of Stand Tū Māia’s new Whangārei Centre.
The ocean is a mighty force, in this case for good. The Access to Adventure Trust is a newly formed Charitable Trust set up to provide year-round access to the ocean for individuals with physical or intellectual disabilities
We are big fans and supporters of Kye Hiko – a local One Tree Point 13-year-old who is making a name for himself for his outstanding achievements in amateur boxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Always a highlight on the local calendar, the Bream Bay Sports Awards are a celebration of local sporting talent, passion and community spirit. Held in the Waipu Celtic Barn, a Trigg project that we’re pretty proud of, we were also proud to again sponsor the Supreme Award on the night.
Darrell, Marlene, and the team are proud to announce that Trigg has been awarded the main contractor role to partner with Stand Children’s Services Tu Maia Whānau (Stand) to redevelop the Maunu premises. This is a significant project for Stand and the Whangarei and Northland community.
After 35 + years, Darrell is retiring as a volunteer operational firefighter. Darrell spent 17 years in the Kamo Brigade and the last 18.5 years out at Ruakaka, where he has been the Chief Fire Officer for the past 13 years.
The Bream Bay Sports Awards were held in the Waipu Celtic Barn – a Trigg construction – on Friday 31 March. Ex-Bream Bay College head girl Laura Adams was the guest speaker on the night. Proud supporters and sponsors of this annual event that celebrates the success and hard work of our local sports people and teams, this is always a highlight on the Trigg social calendar.
Our local community is a big focus for us and at the heart of everything we do! Outside of his busy construction life, Darrell is the Ruakaka Volunteer Fire Brigade’s Chief Fire Officer.
Trigg is a proud sponsor of Wish4Fish. This charity helps people with disabilities or mental unwellness to get out on the water and enjoy the freedom and pleasure of our ocean waters – the benefits we know very well, as mad keen boating and fishing folk ourselves.
The Hundertwasser Art Centre and Wairau Māori Art Gallery are now open. We may be a little biased, but we have to agree with others who have described it as an absolute taonga for the North and the country.
