Creating a pipeline of talent is critical to making sure our business can continue to grow and in 2023, we awarded the first of our annual $32,500 education scholarships to a local student undertaking study related to our field. We will welcome the current and future award recipients into our company on study completion, where we will help get them started in their careers.
We recognise there is more to life than work and our sponsorship of local community groups and events is one way we can help our people and their families to feel valued outside of business hours. In 2023, our initiatives included sponsorship of Buller Rugby, the Westport Whitebait Festival, the Kawatiri Coastal Trail and a REAP Discovery Day for local Year 8 students to learn about career opportunities and cyber safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
