🌼 Daffodil Day 🌼

Every year, we display daffodils throughout our business in support of Daffodil Day, the Cancer Society's annual fundraising campaign in New Zealand.

For many of us, cancer isn't just something we've heard about. It's a reality that has touched our families, friends, colleagues, and loved ones. In one way or another, most of us have felt its impact.

Today, daffodils can be found right across our business, brightening our workspaces and serving as a reminder of the hope, strength, and support that mean so much to those facing cancer.

A simple gesture, but one that reflects our commitment to raising awareness and supporting a cause that touches so many lives.

A heartfelt thank you to the Cancer Society New Zealand for the incredible work they do every day for those affected by cancer and their whānau.💛

One month on, the Rolling Hills Dairy Farm project in Wisconsin USA is starting to take shape.

Since our last update, the groundwork has progressed from bare land to foundations laid and concrete poured, marking another major milestone towards the new 70-bail Velocity rotary.

A great step forward alongside Moa Rotary Platforms and Total Dairy Service LLC.

🌅 The sun is setting over HQ, and this project is off to see the world.

After months of planning, building and preparation, it’s packed up and ready to leave the heart of Waikato, New Zealand, bound for a farm on the other side of the world.

There’s a lot of work packed into that container, and it’s always a good feeling seeing a project leave the yard. It’s a team effort from start to finish, and we’re grateful to everyone who helped get this project ready for its journey and off to its new home.

Safe travels!🌎🚛🚢
