Message from CEO: Cyclone Gabrielle Update

Hello, We hope you and your loved ones safe and well following the recent extreme weather event with Cyclone Gabrielle causing unprecedented devastation to Northland, Auckland and much of the East Coast.

This situation has touched all of us here in New Zealand. As Kiwis who call several of these affected areas home, we sympathise with every individual and family, especially those who have lost loved ones.

We are fortunate that here in Hawkes Bay the Archant head office, warehouse and showroom has not suffered any major damage and we now have power and internet. We are fully staffed, operational, and here to serve you as seamlessly as possible. Due to key northern route closures out of Hawkes Bay, we expect some deliveries to take slightly longer than usual.

To help with the response and rebuild, Archant have assisted the Rapid Relief Team with volunteers, essential supply drop-offs, and a monetary donation of $10,000, and a further donation of $5,000 to the HB Flood Relief Fund.

Our thoughts remain with you all during this difficult time as we all seek to move forward from this event. Should we be able to assist, please don’t hesitate to reach out at 0800 ARCHANT (0800 272 4268).

Sincerely,

Hamish Raikes
