A FRESH START TO THE WEEK!

Our team kicked off the morning with our in-house toolbox meeting, taken by Sam, covering the important health & safety topics to keep everyone safe.

It was a fresh morning, but we soon warmed things up with some much-needed hot drinks from Mocka Rocka Coffee! ☕

A great way to start the week — good coffee, good conversations and keeping safety front of mind.

An extra hour of daylight? We’ll take it!

Daylight Saving starts today, which means longer evenings and more time to get those projects done!

Whether it’s a fresh coat of paint, a wallpaper update, or finishing off those jobs you’ve been putting off — now’s the time to get stuck in!

Enjoy the extra hour of daylight, Southland!
