Part of the criteria is that the new tradespeople are working for a Southland employer. Congratulations again to Josh Chirnside, Daniel Wilson, Brad Evans and Lily Hayward who were presented a certificate acknowledging their success on behalf of the business community by the Mayors of Southland and the Southland Business Chamber. Well done team! We are proud of your success and happy to have you as part of the TEAM!! ... See MoreSee Less
