Keep it Safe 2021

Written By Kim Manunui

The start to the working year was slightly different in 2022, due to the annual NZFM SafeStart breakfast not being held because of Covid-19 restrictions. This is the first time since its inception that SafeStart has been cancelled and while NZFM was disappointed, we recognise the importance of keeping everyone safe and healthy in these Covid-19 uncertain times.

A regular item at the SafeStart breakfast is awarding prizes to the annual Keep It Safe (KIS) winners.

KEEP IT SAFE is an employment enhancement programme developed and introduced by NZFM logging contractors who fund and obtain sponsorship for prizes. It involves regular assessments of employees by a FITEC registered trainer, who works with NZFM harvesting and thinning crews. Awards are presented every three months, with the overall winner announced at the end of each calendar year and presented with awards at the NZFM SafeStart breakfast.

The overall winners for 2021 were:

  • Machine Operation on the Landing: Ron Clark

  • Logmaking: Jeremy Dunster

  • Mechanised Felling/Delimbing : Des Church

  • Skidwork: David August & Derek Robinson (1st equal)

  • Log Extraction: Peter Corfield

  • Manual Fellin : Alby Wheatly & Moana Te Ngahue (1st equal)

  • NZFM Harvesting Crew of the Year 2021 :   C. & C.A. Marshall Logging Ltd

Congratulations to the winners and well done to everyone who took part in Keep It Safe in 2021.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
