Residents at Ryman’s Keith Park Village got up early to bake up a storm for the entire 250-strong crew of workers from the construction site yesterday.
The mammoth morning tea was laid on to personally congratulate Project Manager Simon Richards and his team at Hobsonville for winning Ryman’s Construction Site of the Year Award at the 2023 Ryman awards.
