We would like to extend our congratulations to Milne Construction Ltd on their remarkable achievement of winning Canterbury Supreme Renovation of the Year at the Master Builders House of the Year awards!!  We're thrilled to have been a part of their outstanding Knowles Street Project in Merivale.

At Christchurch Electrical, we are proud of the collaboration we've had with Milne Construction. Our dedicated electrical team added their electrical knowledge along with a touch of elegance with stunning feature pendants/chandeliers.

We wanted to take a moment to give a shoutout to all our amazing team members who have been getting involved in fitness activities outside of work this year.

It's awesome to see how they are taking care of themselves and prioritising their health and well-being. Whether it's the Muddy Gumboots Night Bike Racing event at McLeans Island, North Canterbury’s newest rail running event, Skeddadle in the majestic Island Hills Station, or participating in Surf Life Saving Nationals the team know how to balance hard work with wellness.

We also salute all of those team members who have been jumping on their bikes, going for a hike or a run, taking part in a team sport, going to the gym or hitting the pool for a swim after work.

Keep up the fantastic work and keep pushing those limits!
