Pruners take top place
THIS MONTH, IT’S ABOUT THE VALUE-ADDED end of the business – in particular, pruning.
For those that haven’t tried this before, pick up a pair of pruners some time and spend a couple of days using them. You’ll have a new respect for what these guys do day in and day out. When they aren’t pruning, they generally have a planting frame strapped to their waist, out re-establishing the areas that our value recovery (yes, that's code for harvesting) folk have logged.
Like other areas of this competition, these results were very close, reflecting the skill, knowledge and professionalism these folk bring to our industry.
So, congratulations to the following (see table below) who have featured as our top four pruners for the first round of assessments.
Sponsors – they don’t have to do this but they choose to!
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.
