roofing scam

Mick from Glenview

Just a word of warning. I got home to find a quote on my doorstep from a sales rep for Edwards & Hardy by the name of ( not allowed to tell you )Telling me that I have lichen and moss growing on my "Tile Roof " that is going to cause rust. He will fix it for $395. Just a couple of problems here.
1... I don't have a tile roof
2.... I was on my steel roof over the Christmas break and I saw no moss or lichen.
3... His company tell me that there reps are not allowed to use ladders so how did he check my roof?
So be warned ,If this guy knocks on your door send him away
Just because he works for a well known company does not make him an honest person. I hope he does not catch out any of our older family so please warn them.

Craigs Workplace Giving for Christmas in Waikato focused on front line

The Team from Momentum Waikato

It has been a delight for us to again coordinate the annual Christmas-time Workplace Giving by Craigs Investment Partners' Hamilton branch.

We've now passed on $13,100 in grants of various sizes from Craigs and its staff to the five Waikato community organisations they have chosen this year, namely Cambridge Lifeskills, Cambridge Tree Trust, Hamilton Land Search & Rescue, Paws 4 Life (who provided the photo below) and Waikato Women's Refuge - Te Whakaruruhau.

Quinton de Bruin, Investment Adviser at Craigs says: “We’re really proud of our Workplace Giving program here at Craigs.”

“Employees opt in to donate from their monthly pay cheque, building up funds over the year which we then donate to charities in need at Christmas time.

“Craigs also matches employee donations dollar for dollar, up to $500 per person per annum, so it’s a great way to be able to make a meaningful impact in our local community,” says Quinton.

We say well played Craigs Investment Partners!
