Family-owned Auckland print company Soar is flying high, with two of its team winning accolades at the prestigious Pride in Print 2021 awards.

Print apprentice Travis Jordan was named the Print Industry Apprentice of the Year, while Alex Huynh won the Workplace Trainer of the Year. For Travis, the award is an acknowledgement of the time and effort he has put into his craft.

“It’s really special and a reminder that you get out what you put in,” he says. “The award is something I’ll happily carry with me throughout my career.”

It's awesome to see not only one of our apprentices getting recognition, but also the skilled team member who trained him winning an award.

The yellowhammer (pictured right) was a real treat, as you know they are around as they are very tuneful, however they are difficult to see at times. Our kaka also visited at least twice today!"

Another great story!
Southland father and son, Robert and Bobby Baird have recently received their forestry qualifications, proving you are never too old to learn.

While Robert has practical experience gained during four decades in the bush, he says vocational training like the qualification he has just done is helping keep people safe.

Competenz assessor Neville Muir worked with Bairds throughout their training programme.

“Bobby is very driven to succeed and very organised. He’s also very keen to continue upskilling his crew and there are a lot of different certificates still to do,” he says.

While Bobby is his boss at work, Robert turns back into ‘dad’ at the end of the day. “I give him a hand during the day when he’s got a lot of work on. We have a great relationship and it’s a magic thing to be able to do to work with your son.”

Greeting fellow humans in lockdown :-)


I am from Miami, Florida, USA, the cutting edge of dance music since the '70's. I love to dance and have have literally enjoyed thousands of hours in clubs across the planet.


Over lockdown, I have compiled some of the best dance music that I have heard into 1 playlist. It has 120 dance tunes, from the '70's to the '90's, with some classic rock included that will get you off your bum. Here it is.


open.spotify.com...


If you enjoy this music, I invite you to come to one of my meetups every Friday at a different bar in Wellington. We always get drink specials until 10:00 and free nibbles. You will have fun though even if you do not drink. For more information, check out these links.
