As we add more detail to our plan, we want to know what kinds of public spaces you’d like to see in the town centre. We’re also interested in how local jewels such as the historic chambers and the town hall can play a bigger part in the community’s future.

Low levels of digital literacy among staff is a challenge facing many manufacturing businesses, and strengthening those skills is not only essential to meet rapid technological changes in the workplace, it’s vital to increasing productivity.

“As technology progresses and we move further into Industry 4.0, workers must be upskilled to keep pace with new systems and processes, especially older employees who are not digital natives, but who have invaluable experience in their fields,” says Competenz Sector Manager Jahn Vannisselroy

Competenz has developed a new micro-credential to meet the demands brought about by Industry 4.0.

How we loved helping these families on their journey.......

Lisa Parfitt from Team Parfitt Property

“My husband and I have bought and sold a lot of real estate over the years and I must say, when I met Lisa and Wayne, “Team Parfitt”, I was very impressed.

We don’t live in Auckland, but my mother does and I needed to find a company and a salesperson that I felt comfortable with - well Lisa and Wayne ticked all the boxes. They complement each other very well as a couple, are very professional, have integrity, passion, and are so driven from start to finish at achieving results. They both had so much respect and were so caring towards my mother as I couldn’t always be there. Lisa and Wayne just took over - amazing people. They know exactly what they're doing, are very informative and I trusted their suggestions which achieved the ultimate result on auction day. I would recommend Lisa and Wayne to anyone looking for the ultimate experience. Well done to you both. Lots of luck and best wishes for the future - I’ll never forget you.”

Margaret Rapson, Phillip & Sharon Judd - 2/32 Ben Nevis Place, Northpark - Sold 13 July 2021

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“We recently had the pleasure of engaging Lisa and Wayne to sell our family home in Eastern Beach, Auckland. From our initial meeting at which they presented their marketing proposal and explained the process that the sales campaign would follow, they filled us with confidence and put us in a relaxed mode in what could otherwise have been a stressful experience.

It can be an emotional time selling a family home, the Parfitt’s treated our home as if was their own property. Lisa and Wayne kept us informed through every step including weekly progress reports plus phone updates after each open home. Prior to and during the auction they explained their strategy and how the auction might progress. The price achieved at auction was well above our expectations. This could only have been achieved with a highly energised, motivated, and passionate sales team, the Parfitt’s.

We were very impressed with Lisa and Wayne and found them a pleasure to work with. Nothing was too much trouble. If you are looking for a real estate salesperson with a point of difference, we would highly recommend Lisa and Wayne.”
