Celebrating Excellence: 2025 Employee Conference & Awards

Team members from across the Central Landscape Supplies group came together last week for our annual employee conference. Always a fun event, it's a chance to meet over dinner, socialise with team members from other yards, and, more importantly, celebrate excellence with our employee awards.

It's our great pleasure to announce that the 2025 Employee of the Year is Alice Wall from our East Tamaki yard!

It was a night of achievement for Alice, who also received the award for Excellent Driver/Yardperson.

Alana Brashier from our Waiheke Island yard also had a successful evening, taking home the Runner-Up Employee of the Year, the award for Excellent Accounting Support and jointly winning the 2025 Digital Marketing Award, alongside colleague Casey Palemata from our Silverdale yard.

James Palemata from our Silverdale yard took home the Excellent Yardsperson award

Linda Kumar from our Albany yard was the well deserved winner of the Excellent Customer Service award.
