As proud Northlanders, we love to get behind the region and support our local people and communities to thrive. From sponsoring the Trigg Stadium in Whangārei — which we built in 2012 — to supporting schools, clubs, and community events, we’re committed to making a positive impact. Whether it’s helping local kids get involved in sport and recreation or backing initiatives that bring people together, we’re there.
Community service runs deep in our story. Darrell spent more than 35 years as a volunteer operational firefighter with the Kamo and Ruakākā Brigades, including 13 years as Chief Fire Officer at Ruakākā. Both Darrell and Marlene have regularly put their knees on the line to stair climb for charity over the years, and Darrell continues to advocate for mental and physical health within the construction industry.
Giving back isn’t just something we do – it’s part of who we are.
Here are a few of the local people, projects and events we’ve been proud to support recently:
Darrell and Marlene are proud and passionate supporters of the Access to Adventure Trust and its vision to open the ocean to people living with physical, intellectual, or mental health challenges.
Ricki joined the team in 2020 as a hammerhand, then apprentice carpenter, and now he’s about to complete his apprenticeship and become a fully-fledged carpenter.
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
