Celebrating Milestones:

A Decade of Dedication and a Fond Farewell

Happy Retirement Steve!


We would like to take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate the retirement of Steve Cording, The Heat Pump People’s HVAC Estimator, after eight very busy years with the team. 


As Steve embarks on this exciting new chapter of his life, we can't help but be a little envious of his amazing plans. With a grand trip to Europe on the horizon, where he will enjoy family visits and immerse himself in the excitement of the rugby world cup games, we wish Steve a truly fantastic retirement. May this well-deserved break bring adventure, great wine and wonderful memories to cherish. 


Thank you, Steve, for your dedication and hard work. Enjoy every moment of this incredible journey!

Happy 10th Anniversary Michelle!

Fit and Fabulous: Celebrating our Team's Active Adventures

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!
