Beating the R word
With the second issue of our newsletter I felt I should try to contribute something
by way of an update on the group as a whole. All the doom and gloom talk in
the media makes it easy to slip into a negative mode and await the end of the
big R, but that’s not what I would like to see, nor indeed what is going
to happen to us.
Yes, things are going to be a lot different from the past few years, but we
all knew it could not continue at the level of the past. It’s now back
to the reality of working in a competitive environment, but one we are well
used to in my opinion. We are in a position to maintain our share of work as
we have the people, and I hope we all have the attitude, to rise to the challenge.
The PN team continue to be focused on the Plaza contract, and with some $35
million to spend in the next year the pressure will be maintained on the team.
All involved need to be congratulated on their effort in handing over the first
stage on time and in some areas early! Well done, guys!
The rest of the team have been working on the Turners and Growers, Woolworths,
Massey and UCOL sites, and now on further work at Massey and at the Manawatu
District Council in Feilding. While some of the jobs are somewhat smaller than
we have been lucky to have in the past, the usual challenges are there.
The BOP operation has not fared as well. While the major job at Waihi continues
its slow progress towards completion (the re-designs continue!), other work
has not been as forthcoming.
