Does anybody know the whereabouts of Wayne the lead light man, who was based at Patumahoe? We have not been able to locate him and have been told he moved about 4 years ago, unfortunately nobody seems to know where. We have had work done by him previously and were very pleased with the results. I urgently need to get some lead lights repaired.
Alternatively, are you perhaps able to recommend somebody else who does quality lead light work, at an affordable price? If you can help can you please contact Carolyn on 027 383 5852.

We all love a cheeky grin and a wave from our local grocer, or a toot from the delivery driver, or a coffee order that’s ready before we arrive. And especially over the last year, it’s been the small businesses in our communities that have almost made things seem ‘normal’.

So start gathering up those cans and bring them into your local Resene owned ColorShop.
