Acknowledging our founder Clark Meister

Today marks Clark's final day with Online Communications after 38 years with the business.
As Founder, Clark played a pivotal role in establishing Online and shaping its direction over nearly four decades. For over 30 of those years, he worked alongside Grant Major in building and developing the company into the business it is today, aligning himself with like-minded, hardworking and driven people along the way.

He developed our health and safety framework from inception and managed it through to 2024, implementing systems and standards that remain today.

From the outset, Clark also led the company’s branding and marketing direction, helping define how Online presented itself to clients and the wider industry. He was closely involved in training, tenders, key accounts and tenancy management, contributing across a broad range of operational and strategic areas.

Clark has remained active within the wider industry, holding RCDD qualifications, contributing through various industry groups and board roles, and representing the company at seminars, forums and conferences over many years.

Throughout his time with the company, Clark maintained an open-door approach and was always willing to engage and guide where needed.

On behalf of the team, we acknowledge the commitment and energy Clark has given to Online Communications over 38 years and thank him for the foundation he helped build.

We wish him all the best for the next chapter.

Last night our Wellington team gathered to celebrate our founder's retirement. This time it was a boys' night and was the last of a series of 4 retirement parties and a great send off for Clark Meister.
It was a great location on the waterfront where we had fun counting the number of buildings we had cabled and worked in over the years, and there were quite a few!
"With less than two weeks till my retirement, what an excellent way to celebrate with my wonderful team, across the branches.
You are only ever as good as your team, and I have been blessed to be part of this one"

Our founder is about to retire after almost 38 years, so to celebrate he and his wife travelled to each of our sub branches for a farewell dinner with each team and their partners.
β€œI would not want to leave without a personal visit to say thanks and farewell to my team. This is the way we do things at Team Online with family inclusivity, sharing stories, experiences, and team bonding.” Clark

Farewell to business founder, Clark, and thank-you, from co-owner and Managing Director, Grant Major
I am acknowledging the decision made by my business partner, Clark Meister to move onto the next chapter in his life and career when he departs Online Communications in late February 2026.
Clark founded Online Communications in the late 1980s and later partnered with myself in 1996, with our merged operations perpetuating the Online business name.
Clark has always been passionate about this business, with a desire to see Online prosper and be well respected, to be highly regarded for its capabilities and the quality of installation works. In recent years these contributions have included notably:
– Leading our branding, marketing and online presence
– Supporting training and development across the company
– Strong advocacy for health & safety and the generation of our H&S systems
– Representing Online at client, supplier, and industry events
Clark – thank-you for everything you’ve contributed over the years, and I want to acknowledge that your departure marks more than 30 years since we started working together. I wish you all the best for the future and expect that we may see you contributing to the industry and business community in new ways.
Grant Major, Managing Director

Some great before and after work from our ManawatΕ« Team.
This cabinet was typical of many we see and upgrade. While the end result is not perfect and can't be within a standard sized cabinet with no room for vertical cable management,we are sure you will agree it most certainly is a huge improvement.
What we did was the following...
β˜‘οΈ Removed all redundant patchleads and hardware
β˜‘οΈ Rearranged the switches between the patch panels rather than stacked below
β˜‘οΈ Patched with correct length leads
β˜‘οΈ Patched very short leads where possible
β˜‘οΈ Utilized slimline leads
Our Palmerston North based client was delighted with the result.
This is how cabling experts roll....Great Job Team ManawatΕ«!

Happy 37th Birthday to Team Online! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‚

It feels like only yesterday when Online started in a Skyline garage by our 26-year-old founder in 1988. It was the era of big hair & great music, a time without mobile phones, internet, & when the fax machine was considered cool! 😎

From a team of 1 to nearly 50, Online has seen steady growth while holding firm to its original values & standards.
A journey shaped by our incredible clients, suppliers, & our dedicated team who have made all of this possible.
As we celebrate this milestone, we express our gratitude to everyone who has been part of this incredible journey.

Here's to Team Online as we approach the big 40! 🌟
