Auckland’s Go-To for Professional Furniture Removals

Why Choose Auckland’s Trusted Furniture Movers?

Moving can be complex, especially when handling cherished furniture and heavy items. That’s where seasoned movers come in – they’re equipped with both the know-how and the right equipment to transport your items securely across Auckland, whether you’re moving from a compact flat or a spacious home. Experienced movers understand the city’s layout and are prepared to handle both narrow pathways and large furniture without hassle. Relying on a skilled team allows you to settle comfortably while leaving the hard work to professionals.

Essential Steps to Prepare for a Move in Auckland

Start Planning Ahead

Preparation is the key to an efficient move. Begin by creating a detailed plan that includes everything from booking your movers to setting up a packing schedule. A well-organised checklist can help streamline each stage, ensuring that your move with a Furniture Removals Auckland team goes smoothly.

Declutter Your Space

Before the packing process begins, take time to sort through your belongings. Moving can be a great opportunity to let go of items that no longer serve you. Consider donating or selling anything that might add unnecessary weight to the move – a lighter load makes unpacking faster and keeps moving costs down.

Invest in Quality Packing Materials

Sturdy boxes, reliable packing tape, and padding materials are essentials. Packing items securely not only protects them during transit but also gives you peace of mind. Professional movers often offer packing services too, ensuring that every item, from fragile glassware to bulky furniture, arrives intact.

Clearly Label Each Box

Labelling boxes with both contents and destination rooms can make the unpacking process incredibly easy. With clearly marked boxes, movers can place everything in the right spot at your new home, allowing you to settle in with less fuss.

Keep Open Communication with Movers

Discussing your specific needs and any concerns with the moving team helps ensure a smoother experience. Informing your movers of fragile items, special requirements, or preferred loading and unloading areas gives them a clear understanding of your needs, resulting in a move tailored to your expectations.

When to Schedule Your Move for the Best Results

While Auckland’s climate can vary, planning your move for a drier time of year can help avoid weather-related complications. Additionally, choosing a weekday move or an off-peak time could lead to greater flexibility with dates and potentially lower rates. Experienced Auckland Movers will advise on ideal timings and offer tailored scheduling to meet your needs.

Trusting Professionals to Handle Your Move

Moving doesn’t have to be a complicated or exhausting experience. With experienced furniture movers, you’re assured of quality handling, safe transport, and support at every step. Whether it’s a local move within Auckland or a journey to another North Island destination, Furniture Removals Auckland services provide reliable assistance for any transition.

Professional movers handle the logistics, from disassembling and packing large items to placing them precisely where you want at the new location. With their help, you can focus on settling into your new environment, while they handle the details.

New Zealand Government refuses NGO calls to back end to secret WCPFC Compliance Processes

Source: Press Release Service

The New Zealand Government has officially responded to a letter from NGO Accountability.Fish demanding the participation of observers in the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) compliance processes and to end the practice of conducting key meetings behind closed doors. In his response, Hon Shane Jones, the Minister who holds the portfolio responsible for fisheries and related international matters, has refused to intervene at the upcoming WCPFC General Meeting to allow observer involvement in the full compliance monitoring process

Accountability.Fish, a global non-governmental organization dedicated to improving the transparency and accountability of Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs), has raised concerns for some time over the lack of transparency within the Western Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC).

On 9 September 2024, the organization sent letters to and publicly named 17 member states—including New Zealand—that refuse to allow observers into the full Technical and Compliance Committee (TCC) meeting where key sustainability data is reviewed and confirmed.

“New Zealand has a reputation as a country of laws with a commitment to international law. But its failure to stop WCPFC secrecy actually contradicts it’s obligations under the United Nations Fish Stocks Agreement (UNFSA). The tone of the ministry’s response reflects a particular cavalier attitude towards those obligations and shames New Zealand,” said Ryan Orgera, Accountability Fish’s Global Director.

Despite previous calls for transparency, WCPFC remains the only tuna RFMO that continues to exclude observers from important sections of key meetings, particularly those where draft compliance reports are produced.

New Zealand’s response, delivered on behalf of the Rt Hon Christopher Luxon, Prime Minister of New Zealand, the Rt Hon Winston Peters, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Shane Jones, Minster for Oceans and Fisheries, clarifies the Island nation’s position that the decision to allow observers to participate in the WCPFC compliance monitoring process lies solely with the WCPFC and that decisions within the WCPFC are typically made by consensus among its members.

“The lack of transparency stands in direct violation of several international agreements, including the United Nations Fish Stocks Agreement, to which New Zealand is a signatory. Article 12 of the Agreement clearly stipulates that “States shall provide for transparency in the decision-making process and other activities of subregional and regional fisheries management organizations,” Orgera added.

“Furthermore, the WCPFC’s actions are inconsistent with key international frameworks, including the Rio Declaration, the Aarhus Convention, the Almaty Guidelines, and the Escazú Convention, all of which call for the involvement of civil society in environmental decision-making processes.

“New Zealand citizens need to understand the gap between the country’s reputation as a leader on environmental issues and international law and its actual behavior. It’s time to walk the talk Orgera concluded.

Why the Cornish Pasty Struggles to Make Its Mark in New Zealand

By

Source: Press Release Service – Auckland

Cornish pasties, a culinary staple in the UK and a favourite in Australia, have yet to enjoy the same recognition in New Zealand. Chef Adam Rickett, the former Executive Chef at Euro Bar and Restaurant and Culpeper in Auckland, wants to change that.

Known for his time in Cornwall mastering the art of the pasty, Adam questions why the dish hasn’t taken off in New Zealand. “The Cornish pasty made it to Australia along with the early settlers and became popular there, but for some reason, it never gained the same traction here,” he says.

Adam’s connection to the pasty runs deep, having trained as a young chef in St Austell, Cornwall, where pasties are part of daily life. “It’s not just food; it’s part of who I am. Every pasty is something comforting and people connect with the nostalgia it induces.”

In 2009, Adam relocated to New Zealand, quickly making a name for himself in fine dining. Adam worked as Head Chef at renowned restaurants The Matterhorn, Pravda Café and Grill and The Boatshed Boutique Hotel on Waiheke Island. Yet, despite his culinary success, he felt a persistent pull towards his roots. “No matter how far you go, some things never leave you. The pasty is one of those things. After years in New Zealand, I knew I wanted to bring that tradition here.”

In 2020, amidst the COVID-19 lockdown, Adam founded The ‘Ansum Pasty Co., driven by a desire to reconnect people with this timeless tradition. “I wanted to deliver a taste of the past, and not just my past, but everyone’s past. I’m convinced that the nostalgia of a pasty is all about the Pastry. It’s the smell. Even if you haven’t even left the country, a pasty offers something familiar that really speaks to you and creates an experience. Everyone should experience that.”

Today, The ‘Ansum Pasty Co. caters to both wholesale and retail markets in Auckland, with plans to launch online deliveries this November. Adam believes the time is right to introduce Kiwis to the pasty’s appeal. “New Zealanders love hearty and reliable food. The pasty is just that — simple, satisfying, and guaranteed to hit the spot. It’s bigger than a pie.”

For more details and to be notified about the upcoming launch, visit ansum.nz or contact the team at info@ansum.nz.

New Zealand insolvencies rise as voluntary administration gains popularity

By

Source: Press Release Service – Business

Latest business insolvency data has revealed the highest single-quarter figure since 2016, but an increasing number of Kiwi business owners are exploring alternatives to liquidation for survival.

The BWA Insolvency Quarterly Market Report has revealed insolvencies rose by 23% in Q2 2024 compared to Q1, and 36% compared to the same period last year. With 700 insolvencies reported between April and June – the highest single-quarter figure since 2016— the data underscores the ongoing economic challenges faced by New Zealand businesses.

Insolvencies in New Zealand by Quarter, including liquidations, receiverships and VAs.

Most sectors are experiencing increased business failures, with food and beverage, construction, and property and real estate services being particularly hard hit, the report reveals. The construction sector saw a 22% year-on-year increase, rising from 133 to 162 insolvencies. Property and real estate surged by 50%, from 62 to 93 cases, and food and beverage experienced an 85% increase from 27 to 50 insolvencies.

“While we anticipated a rise in insolvencies, the scale of the increase has been significant,” BWA Insolvency principal Bryan Williams says.

“Of immediate concern is the fallout that hits employees. When companies go down, employees lose their jobs, and with the current economic squeeze there are not enough places available for all job seekers.

“There will be many empty pay packets and demand will suffer as a result. Empty cafés and a worldwide abundance of wine are evidence of moderated consumer spending.”

Other influences on the economy include global politics: “We have the potential for stable governance in the United States towards the end of the year, which could impact the war effort in Ukraine and, in turn, decrease importing inflation.

“With the Reserve Bank’s recent interest rate reduction, there is some hope for economic improvement. However, there is much in the pipeline that needs to work its way out and it is doubtful that better cashflows will come soon enough to correct current insolvencies.

“It is inevitable that insolvencies will be higher than normal for the next six to nine months.”

Despite the outlook, there is a growing awareness and adoption of Voluntary Administration (VA), offering businesses an alternative to liquidation or receivership.

In the second quarter of 2024, there were 28 VAs, 5% of total insolvencies, compared to Q2 2022 were there were just five VAs for the period.

“The rise in the adoption of Voluntary Administration reflects increased awareness among business owners of their options when facing financial difficulties. We continue to field enquiry for this model as a way of helping businesses navigate through troubled times,” Williams explains.

Sector highlights – Q2 2023 vs Q2 2024
Construction: Up by 22% year-on-year from 133 to 162 insolvencies
Property &
Real Estate: Increased by 50% year-on-year, from 62 to 93 insolvencies
Food & Beverage: Increased by 85% from 27 to 50 insolvencies
Tourism: Slight decrease, from 9 to 8 insolvencies, down by 11%
Retail: Minimal decrease, from 39 to 36 insolvencies, down by 8%

Receiverships have seen a 62% increase year-on-year, from 26 to 42 cases in Q2 2024, indicating a more rigid stance on outstanding debt by creditors.

“Secured creditors are less willing to wait when they see signs of debtor trouble,” he adds.

Williams believes there is reason for cautious optimism. “We expect the upward trend in insolvencies to plateau later in the year as discretionary spending increases and economic conditions stabilise.

“There is light at the end of the tunnel and recovery will be driven by consumers spending less at the same time as producing more. Reduced interest rates will flow more revenue into the economy, aiding recovery.”

HazardCo is proud to announce its expansion into the UK market, marking a significant milestone in its journey as a New Zealand-born tech company.

Founded in 2007 in New Zealand, HazardCo was created to help Kiwi builders and tradies simplify health and safety. The system provides digital tools as well as access to expert H&S advisors. After gaining traction and helping thousands of businesses to get their health and safety sorted, HazardCo realised these challenges weren’t limited to New Zealand. Builders across the globe needed a simpler, faster way to manage their health and safety obligations.

Following its success in New Zealand, HazardCo expanded to Australia in 2020, overcoming challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns. Despite the hurdles, the company thrived, growing to 70 employees and amassing over 10,000 members, with over 150,000 users relying on the system. Many of these users complete inductions, risk assessments, and other health and safety documents directly on-site through the easy-to-use app.

Now, driven by its success across Australasia, HazardCo is excited to bring its proven system to the UK. Local health and safety experts have tailored the UK version to meet the needs of British builders, with a dedicated team on hand to support members.

The expansion comes at a crucial time, as the recent Building Safety Act places greater responsibility on builders and developers to meet higher safety standards. With an increased focus on safety and quality, builders are now more attentive to their health and safety obligations—and HazardCo is ready to guide them. The UK construction industry is also embracing digital tools to streamline project management, both on-site and in the office. As builders increasingly shift to software solutions for managing operations, HazardCo’s entry into the UK market is well-timed.

“At HazardCo, our mission is simple: to help builders focus on what matters—getting the job done safely,” said Iain Dixon, CEO of HazardCo. “We’re excited to bring our guided health and safety system to the UK, giving builders the tools they need to protect their crew on site as well as their business.”

With its roots in New Zealand and a proven track record in Australia, HazardCo is ready to help UK builders feel confident in their compliance and focus on delivering high-quality projects.
