Last week, roofing apprentice Devon from Solid Roofing officially became a graduate! 🎓 He was surprised by his incredibly proud boss Peter, with a breakfast and certificate presentation to celebrate. He was so excited he rang his training advisor, Tracey, at 6.30am to tell her about it! ☎️

Devon's journey is a powerful one. After tragically losing his mother at 17, he made her a promise - that he'd make her proud and complete his roofing apprenticeship - and he's done just that!

With a military background - his father served in the forces - Devon brings the same grit, discipline, and commitment to everything he does. In five years, he's had just four sick day off! Just one example of how his work ethic is second to none.

Peter from says it best "Devon is a true leader in the making"

Massive congratulations, Devon! You've honoured your promise and made your team, your whānau, and your training advisor proud! 🌟👏

🌺 Vanuatu Bislama Lanwis Wik - Vanuatu Language Week | 27 July – 2 August 🌺



This week marks Vanuatu Language Week, a time to recognise and appreciate the unique language, culture, and identity of our Vanuatu communities here in Aotearoa.

While it might be a quiet acknowledgement for some, it's also an opportunity for us all to reflect on the importance of cultural diversity in our workplace and wider community.

Even a small gesture like learning a greeting in Bislama (“Halo” or “Tank yu”) can be a meaningful way to show support and respect.



Try and learn some of the office banter with your work colleagues! Let’s continue to create a space where all cultures are seen, heard, and valued.

Meet Hugh, our boots-on-the-ground training solutions guru for the Lower South Island!

Born in Dunedin, raised in Alexandra, and now proudly based in Southland, Hugh carries his Ngāi Tahu whakapapa and a deep sense of community into everything he does.

Before joining Vertical Horizonz, Hugh spent years with Apple, helping businesses and teams harness technology - a background that taught him how to build trust, solve problems, and keep things simple.

Now he’s applying that same mindset to training. Whether it’s helping schools get chainsaw-ready or working with contractors on permit-to-work compliance, Hugh brings a down-to-earth, people-first approach to health and safety.

Our Cromwell Training Centre is a big part of the puzzle - centrally located, hands-on, and built for real-life learning. From Forklift to Working at Heights, it’s local, accessible, and tailored for the region.

You won't get any big sales pitches or fluff from Hugh, just practical, straight-up advice from a guy who genuinely cares about your people going home safe, and pairing them with the best solutions to do so!

📍Based in Central Otago or Southland and want to talk training? Hugh’s your guy.

🎉 Celebrating 50 Years of Lifting Excellence! 🏗️

We were proud to be part of the Crane Association of New Zealand’s 50th Anniversary Conference in Wellington earlier this month! With over 260 delegates from across New Zealand and around the world, the event was a powerful reminder of the strength, skill, and stories behind our crane industry.

From heroic rescues to iconic builds, crane operators are the silent enablers of our nation’s infrastructure. The conference was a chance to honour those contributions, connect with industry leaders, and look ahead to a safer, smarter future in lifting.

A huge shoutout to everyone who made the event unforgettable — and to the Crane Parade that brought the city to life on Saturday!

Here’s to the next 50 years of innovation, collaboration, and lifting New Zealand higher. 💪

Real feedback. Real impact.

We loved receiving this feedback about our Wāhine in Trades sessions:

“Honestly, I was going to stand around doing nothing, yet that never happened! I enjoyed the opportunity because it was informative, fun, and hands-on. I’ll refer to this day as I plan my future pathways because I was given good information and advice. I valued hearing about the woman who shared her life story and what she had to overcome to be who she is today.”

With women making up around 3% of those on the tools in the construction industry, sessions like these really matter. It’s great having women in the team who lead the way, share their stories, and inspire the next generation of wāhine.
