The team's client focus along with a commitment to delivering on sustainability objectives has helped ensure the contract team is redefining service excellence for the client.

 

"With large areas of New Zealand impacted by wild weather this year, our team kept people safe and helped get things back to normal through close collaboration with our client, our subcontractors and our communities."

"This is just one example of the ways we are providing value to our client."

A continued relationship

General Manager, Parks and Community Facilities Taryn Crewe says that Auckland Council is looking forward to continuing the relationship with Ventia. 

We've been pleased to see the focus on continuous improvement from Ventia, and the way they seek opportunities to innovate across technology and processes, to lower carbon emissions, deliver services more efficiently, and benefit the local communities.
