Countdown will open its Auckland stores early from Saturday to allow healthcare, MIQ and emergency workers who are dealing with increased pressure to shop more easily.

Stores from Pōkeno to Warworth will open their doors for a priority access hour from 7am to 8am every day to give these workers the time and space they need to pick up essential goods.

Spokesperson Kiri Hannifin said opening a little earlier is one small way Countdown can relieve pressure on those “working at the coalface” of the latest outbreak in Auckland.

“These workers, particularly those caring for hospitalised Covid-19 patients or the large number of Kiwis currently in managed isolation, are working under huge amounts of pressure,” she said.

“Opening our doors to them an hour ahead of the public will give them the ability to shop in peace and access to freshly stocked shelves.”

Workers who can use the priority access hour include police, fire service, MIQ, ambulance, paramedic, DHB, hospital and medical personnel.

Bachelor of Humanities

Meet Derek Ereatara who shares his journey with Awanuiārangi.

The Bachelor of Humanities programme marked a turning point in Derek’s life. “The content – indigenous studies, policy and business – fit right in with what I wanted. I knew it would help me personally and in my work with whānau in the health sector.

“It helped me to think differently, that opens up your world view.” he says.

Looking at everything with fresh eyes “shifted, enhanced and reinforced” his focus, particularly in working with rangatahi who need one-to-one support.

Awanuiārangi was like a second home, and still is. You just feel welcome.

A BIT ABOUT US
We're the most affordable and serene Pet Stay in Auckland, offering a number of affordable solutions, whether you are looking at a day stay or for long term boarding when you are away.

FPL is situated on a lifestyle block of 5 stunning hectares including lush paddocks, large gardens and mature trees, located about 7.5km from Clevdon and just under 40km from Auckland airport.

Anton has an abundance of experience with animals, serving 12 years as a dog handler in the South African Police Service, shortly after arriving to NZ he volunteered his services at the SPCA in Mangere. He also holds severage degrees in business and management.

Confused?

NumberWorks'nWords Manukau

To is a preposition with several meanings, including “toward” and “until.”
Too is an adverb that can mean “excessively” or “also.”
Two is also pronounced the same as to and too, but it can’t be used instead of either of them because it’s a number.
