Ecowool is pleased to announce they are now stocking a 100% pure merino wool range, available now at ecowool.com. It joins new possum merino products for the current season.

According to Ecowool spokesperson Karen Collyer, the new range consists of wardrobe staples that are perfect for all year round, such as polo necks, crew necks, jackets, and cardigans.

“We feel investing in quality basics is key to pulling your wardrobe together,” she says.

All garments in the range feature fine rib merino, a lightweight merino to be worn on its own or as a base layer during cooler months with jackets and cardigans. They are also described as being breathable, soft against the skin, sustainable, and biodegradable.

“In the southern hemisphere, winter is fast approaching. The key to staying warm during the cooler months is layering your clothing.”

Layering to remain warm has never been easier, thanks to the natural garment selection that Ecowool has to offer. While their thermal range of undergarments has long been a popular option for base layering, the new merino range offers that convenience, as well.

“If you prefer a more versatile option than our fine merino undergarments, our pure merino range of wardrobe staples can be worn as a base layer or as outerwear throughout the year.”

Karen also recommends pairing the pure merino staples with a knit jacket or sweater featuring possum merino silk. Not only will it provide warmth, but durability, insulation, and odour resistance, too.

You can then tie the entire look together with gloves, a scarf, a beanie, socks, and even sheepskin boots.

“We’re excited about this new 100% pure merino range, but we also can’t wait to share with you the many beautiful natural products we believe will work in harmony with the range.”

It has taken months of planning, but managing director Andreas (Rossy) Ross is pleased to announce that the two businesses in Auckland you’ve relied upon for all your tree management and care needs will be merging into one.

Tree Care Auckland and Pro Climb have long provided arborist services, tree care services for commercial and residential customers, and contract tree services for ECEs, councils, and schools. Now, customers will be able to rely on one business for all of these services – and more.

According to Rossy, both commercial and residential customers can still expect the same high-quality service and care they have received from both businesses.

“We’ve thought long and hard about our decision to merge. Both companies have provided a variety of tree care and arborist services, so it was only natural to offer our customers a one-stop-shop. From May 2021, our loyal customers will be able to access their tree care services directly from Pro Climb with our dedicated Pro Climb and Tree Care Auckland team.”

One of the most significant changes to come out of the merger was a new website. Pro Climb and Tree Care Auckland have been busy building a brand new site that incorporates content from both businesses.

“Now, when you visit the Tree Care Auckland site, you will be redirected to Pro Climb. Here, you learn about our all-inclusive tree care services, contract tree services, arborist training, and helpful tree care guides,” Rossy says.

“Our goal is to make tree care easy. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a property owner with a dangerous tree or a council with tree maintenance requirements; we can do it all. We can’t wait to continue providing our loyal current and future customers with a high level of service you’ve come to expect.”

You can learn more about Pro Climb’s offerings by visiting www.proclimb.co.nz.

About Pro Climb
Pro Climb consists of a dedicated team of tree care experts, arboricultural contractors, and consultants who have been providing a wide range of tree care services in Auckland since 2009.

Whether you require arborist services, landscape tree services, tree cutting, emergency tree services, or hedge and shrub care, Pro Climb is the team to call.

Pro Climb also offers arborist training for professionals in Auckland and throughout New Zealand, which incudes aerial rescue training, tree rigging training, tree climbing training, and more. If it’s about trees, Pro Climb is ready and waiting to provide an unparalleled level of service. Visit www.proclimb.co.nz, or phone 09 300 1422 today.

A bold step in the right direction for health care in New Zealand

Green Cross Health welcomes these reforms, seeing them as an opportunity to transform the future of health care and create a less complicated and more equitable system for New Zealanders.

“We commend the changes outlined by the Ministry. They are a bold step in the right direction for health care in our country. We’ve long advocated for a more people-centred, accessible and integrated health care system,” says Group CEO Rachael Newfield.

Equity of access and health outcomes is crucial, and we believe the creation of the Māori Health Authority is a significant step forward in ensuring that all planning and delivery of primary health care is underpinned by Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

Much is still to be mapped out with how these changes will affect pharmacy, general practice and community-based care. Green Cross Health was part of the consultations that occurred leading up to this announcement and will continue to contribute as these roll out.

Newfield says “Minister Little has clearly indicated there will be extensive engagement with primary care. The critical work now is over the coming months as implementation of the reforms progresses. We aim is to ensure primary care is properly supported and that the outcome is a more efficient and effective health system. It will be important to ensure appropriate and sustainable funding for the essential services provided by primary care, which support New Zealanders to live in their own homes and communities for as long as possible, and to ensure our teams delivering that care can be healthy and supported in the work they do too”.

(PR.co.nz)

Owner and Founder of the Apex Academy of Performing Arts, Harry Oram, made a big announcement this past weekend for Tauranga and the Bay of Plenty during the first Apex Academy Red Carpet Premiere held on April 10th at United Cinemas Bayfair.

The evening was set off with a red carpet complete with paparazzi and a photography exhibit by Fine Art Photographer Ryan Estremos. Guests were seated in the luxury auditorium that included a United Cinema’s chef prepared banquet table.

The showcase featured a live performance by actors Denny Kota and Sharin Shaik followed by 5 short films featuring Apex’s very own students, which was narrated by industry veteran Matthew Oram. The film screenings concluded with an extended cut of their recent 48 Hours Film Challenge submission ‘Aora’, which received several nominations in the Bay of Plenty Semi-Finals.

Several announcements were made including the ongoing partnership with United Cinemas Bayfair, represented by Manager Samantha Larsen who teamed up with Harry Oram and Apex Marketing Director Krystal Black who states “We couldn’t have asked for a better partnership. Samantha has been so open to our ideas and wants the same things for Tauranga. Having Samantha and United Cinemas join our team creates a powerhouse alliance that will bring international film to the Bay and promote local filmmakers.”

Harry also shared plans to put a world spotlight on New Zealand by relaunching the Third Culture Film Festival in Tauranga which was originally based in Hong Kong for two consecutive years. Harry has no doubt Tauranga is the perfect place to invest in filmmaking and to showcase the region’s natural beauty and creative talent.

“The film festival in Tauranga will be open to submissions from around the world and provide countless opportunities for filmmakers. International filmmakers will now have incentive to share their stories through us and more importantly bring our local talent a global audience.”

The Apex team gave a few words to a few of their supporters,

“We want to give a huge thanks to Samantha Larsen and the United Cinemas Bayfair chef and staff for the tremendous help and five star service, A2Z Print Solutions for partnering with us and providing the best quality marketing materials in the Bay on a moments notice. Anton Steele, Jade Kent, Glen Dougal, and his partner Debbie Green from Film Bay of Plenty, Jonathan Ewing from the Tombolo Times and former Mayor, Greg Brownless- thank you for showing up for our students and the Academy.”

They are currently reaching out to key strategic partners. Together they plan to put Tauranga on the International film circuit by building cultural and economic bridges through film.

Acknowledging that everyone has different tastes and preferences, Wards works with the designated hen’s party planner to come up with the perfect experience for their particular group.

“If you have been tasked with planning a hen’s do, you know it can be quite an endeavor organizing everything and coordinating a large group of people. We make it as stress-free as possible. Just tell us the kind of activities you and the bride-to-be will enjoy, and we will create a custom tour, just for you!”

Previous Kiwiness hen’s party tours have included beach games at Brick Bay, wine tastings at Matakana’s best vineyards, and delicious afternoon tea at the rustic Sawmill Brewery.

“No two tours are the same”, says Ness. “Simply tell us what you love doing, and we can build a tour around it. The Matakana Coast has something for all types!”

The tours are perfect for both large and small groups with transport options ranging from Kiwiness’ signature 12-seater van through to a full-sized bus. Attendees can be picked up and dropped off at pre-arranged locations.

Kiwiness’ tour operators are laid back and will allow you enjoy your hens party experience while safely shuttling you around the region.

“All you need to do is show up, assign your designated bus DJ, and enjoy an unforgettable hen’s experience”.

NZ Representative Sportswoman Suffers Near Death Injury in Trans Tasman football tournament

After a head collision in a Trans Tasman football game in 2016, NZ Representative sportswoman Natasha Smith underwent Emergency spinal surgery to save her life. Natasha has always played representative sport at a high level since she was young. She started with competing in Athletics and swimming and then moved to state level in Australia with basketball when she was a teenager.

“I continued to train hard and finally when the opportunity to play internationally representing my country came up, of course I took it without a second thought.”

In their first season, Natasha and her team bought home tournament Gold and Bronze Medals, all the while operating a successful gym where she trained clients as a fitness and nutrition coach. Her life changing injury happened during the first Trans Tasman tournament of her second season.

After successful spinal surgery, Natasha has ended up with a metal plate and 4 screws fusing the vertebrae of her neck together. As she lay in recovery, her surgeon told her she potentially could have permanent nerve damage with the loss of control of her left arm and may never walk again, let alone play sport.

During her recovery, Natasha committed herself to more full time study and changed her own training style with the goal of overcoming her post surgery fatigue. The results spoke for themselves, and after another six months she was stronger and fitter than she had ever been. She was on her way back to playing representative sport even though she was advised never to play again.

Since completing her recovery, Natasha has completed another season of international representative sport and has since Won 2 more tournament Gold medals. To top it all off she has even been selected to join the world cup squad. She has now sold her gym as she wants to focus more on bringing all of her combined knowledge online and into the future.

Natasha is a well known Fitness and Nutrition identity. She is best known as co founder of the Aspiring Adventurers, an online fitness and nutrition and fitness platform offering services to clients internationally.
