We love seeing our apprentices making waves in the industry.
Wade Peek was recently named Plastics Apprentice of the Year, is definitely one to watch. With two qualifications under his belt, he’s been earmarked as a future plastics industry leader.

He hopes to one day start his own manufacturing business and says: "I really want to pass on what I have learnt to support apprentices in their training. I also want to be able to teach people outside of the plastics industry about what we do, as I truly believe we can't solve any of the really important environmental issues that surround plastic unless as many people as possible understand it."

If you've got an internet connection, but can't figure out how to do something on your computer, Create IT offers remote support.
Normally I provide it to support existing clients, and charge a minimum fee, but have a billing system can track time to the nearest minute, so during lockdown, if you need help, I'll waive the minimum fee and you'll be charged only for the actual time used.
You can download the support software from the link provided. It's preconfigured so that only Create IT can connect remotely to your computer, and only after you explicitly grant permission, and phone to confirm.

Being a local home based IT business, lockdown doesn't have much impact, but last lockdown I had to provide considerable IT support to my own household, so I want others to know that they can get help if they need it, without bursting their bubble.

I am reasonably busy, but will help if I can.

___________________________________________________________

New Zealand will move to a Level 4 lockdown after a community case was detected in Auckland.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was joined by Ashley Bloomfield at a press conference, where she confirmed that Auckland and Coromandel would move to Alert Level 4 from 11.59pm for seven days, while the rest of the country will be under Level 4 conditions for three days.

It is unknown whether this case is that of the Delta variant. Bloomfield stated that genome sequencing will be completed by tomorrow morning.

There is currently 23 locations of interest, 10 in Auckland and 13 in Coromandel. Current locations of interest can be found here.

The case has no links to the border and interviews are currently being undertaken with the case to find any possible locations of interest and how they came to be in contact with Covid-19.

Here's what you need to know:
- A refresh on Level restrictions and what it means for you.
- Here are the locations of interest.
- If you have any flu-like symptoms, call the NZ Covid-19 Healthline on 0800 358 5453 or ring your GP.
- Find your closest Covid-19 testing location on the Healthpoint website
- Essential services such as supermarkets and pharmacies will remain open.
