Trophy winners celebrate

-

THE AHUNGAHERE TROPHY. IT’S NOT EASY to win but it means a lot to those that do.

That’s certainly the case for the Moehau 99 team who gathered in the Bay of Plenty last month to put their hands on the trophy and celebrate their success from last year.

And, if you think it’s easier to win if you work in a ground base crew, think again.

Since commencing the top harvesting crew competitio­n a dozen years or so ago, there has been a 50/50 split between ground base and cable crews in terms of who has won overall honours.

In terms of this competitio­n, the Ahungahere Trophy has become the pinnacle expression of the combinatio­n of individual and team excellence – you can’t have one without the other.

So, for Moehau 99 – as was the case with previous winners – they should celebrate their achievemen­t and take the confidence from reaching the top of their game into the competitio­n for 2018.

However, they will be need to be mindful of the increased competitio­n within the Top Spot programme this year and the need to continuall­y focus on individual and team excellence.

Awesome companies, awesome people and awesome support!

They back you and your workmates to succeed as profession­als, so why wouldn’t you support them.

They believe in what we do and what you do.

So a big ongoing thank you to our Strategic Partners – STIHL and NZ Logger and sponsor SWAZI.

The best way to keep our industry working is to get out and support those businesses that support New Zealand.
