Newbolds 100% Upper Hutt
Hey Neighbours.
Just been asked by a few customers to put this on here as a few people might not be aware.
Mike and myself with our families own 100% Newbolds in Upper Hutt.
We are as local as you can get. We are not part of a chain, but a buying group. We sell Televisions, audio, whiteware and kitchen appliances.
We employ 18 locals and do all our business locally, supporting local Electricians, plumbers, servicemen, heatpump installers and local business. We also support local charities. We take your old appliances away and either recycle them or recondition them.
This has created 8 local jobs and filled a store in the main street. No other appliance store does this.
We also just won the consumers people's choice award for the 6th year running.😁
We love matching prices and deliver and install all around Wellington. Our delivery team is amazing.
If you haven't been in to meet us, please come in and say hi. We would love to have your business and can guarantee you will be impressed with what we have right here in Upper Hutt.
Get the 100% kiwi experience.
Toa rohe, toa Orongomai

We're taking the bus!
The number of Wellingtonians taking the bus and train rose by 3% last week compared to the same time last year, according to Metlink.
Not surprising given petrol prices at the moment. But if you're considering giving up your car commute for a leisurely bus ride in the mornings, it would be worth it.
It's about to get even easier: In April, e-pay will be launched, meaning you can tap on with your credit cards as well as smart devices.
It's better on the environment too: With most Metlink trains running on electricity, 25% of the bus fleet being EV’s and the Ika Rere electric ferry, Metlink is able to move more people using less fuel than any other transport option.
With fuel costs so high, it's a good idea to jump on board if you can. If you've become a public transport convert recently, how have you found it?
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
41.2% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.3% No, I enjoy it
-
1.5% Other - I'll share below
