Our Employer Focussed, Employment Consultants, Paula and Nichola, attended The Business Expo at The Plymouth Hotel mid August and had a great night. They connected with other businesses at the expo and had a business card draw which was won by one of the girls from Ministry of Social Development. The well organised event created a friendly atmosphere and there was a great vibe with the flow of people throughout the evening. It was a great opportunity to connect with other local businesses in a relaxed setting with the same goal - to promote our businesses and to build awareness throughout the community. There was a real 'buzz' in the air and having a live MC on the night gave everyone an opportunity to engage and have some fun.

We're looking for lockdown gardening ideas! With New Zealanders stuck at home everyone is keen to get into their gardens, but they can't get to the shops to buy plants and seeds. So we want to hear from you some suggestions for crops you can start or sow from what you have on hand or useful gardening hacks using just what you have at home already without going to the shops.
It doesn't have to be a big idea - just something like growing spring onions from the base or sprouting avocado seeds to make a houseplant. Send your tips and ideas to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz and we'll publish the best ideas in NZ Gardener.
Make sure you include your full name and address - only your name and the region you live in will be published but if we use your tip we will send you a free copy of the magazine.
Dear neighbours,
Here's our list of the best new-release varieties of edible plants to grow this season.

Print apprentice Travis Jordan was named the Print Industry Apprentice of the Year, while Alex Huynh won the Workplace Trainer of the Year. For Travis, the award is an acknowledgement of the time and effort he has put into his craft.
“It’s really special and a reminder that you get out what you put in,” he says. “The award is something I’ll happily carry with me throughout my career.”
It's awesome to see not only one of our apprentices getting recognition, but also the skilled team member who trained him winning an award.
I voted for Anneka Carlson for council, but never again. Someone in a responsible position, to whom others may listen, should not, in spite of free speech, be broadcasting her misinformation about the Covid vaccine.
Perhaps this is a silly question but maybe there is a logical answer ...
How does emptying green (garden) waste bins constitute an "essential service" ??

In a press conference Friday afternoon, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern confirmed that Auckland and Northland will likely need to complete a further full two weeks at level 4 in order to keep the Delta variant from spreading further in the regions.
Here's what you need to know
- There will be regional boundaries, there will be no travel allowed between regions unless required for essential services.
- Boundaries maintained in the last February lockdown will be reinstated.
- Around 500 locations of interest have been identified.
- The exposure site in Warkworth is a large workplace. Ardern hoped the people of Northland will understand why they're moving with caution. Northland won't always be grouped in with Auckland.
