Re-New Sustainable Market and opening day

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

Thank you so much to every one who came to our big day yesterday. It was fantastic. Hectic, slightly crazy and noisy, but fantastic. We had such an awesome day, even though the weather wasn’t perfect.

I talked to so many people, my throat was raw by the time we closed our doors. And I gave out a couple of hundred Easter eggs, to kids of all ages.

The store will be opening on Tuesday. It’ll be a soft opening, as I’ll be setting up throughout the week, and adjusting things as I set up, but you are all welcome to come and see what I’m doing. This isn’t just for me, it’s for all of us.

Thank you. And don’t forget to get your raffle tickets.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
