Business North March 2025

Development success through smart supply solutions Noel Leeming Commercial’s successful supply of appliances to the Highbury Triangle development showcases its capabilities in large-scale project delivery. "We are proud to have contributed to the project’s success by leveraging New Zealand's biggest retail network for buying power and ensuring cost effective procurement and delivery to schedule. Building something of such magnitude, having trust in your suppliers is paramount,” says William Mills, Sector Lead for Building and Trade at Noel Leeming Commercial. The company supplied the ovens, cooktops and rangehoods for the project, subcontracting to head contractor CMP Construction. As part of Toitū its involvement encompassed waste management solutions that add real value to construction projects. "People in construction often don't realise that when we take away the rubbish, it eliminates the cost of skip bins for the construction company," explains Emma Nightingale Building & Trade Business Development Manager (North) Noel Leeming Commercial. "We remove cardboard, soft plastic and polystyrene, taking them to our distribution centre for recycling into other products. We're proud to be Toitū carbonreduce certified and have a vision to make sustainable business easy and affordable for everyone." She says the success of the Highbury Triangle project, which encompassed 236 apartments, hinged on precise planning and coordination. Emma says the team maintained constant communication with site managers, staging orders to match on-site requirements as well as maintaining flexibility to accommodate the dynamic nature of such a large-scale construction project. "Communication, planning, coordination and execution are key with all the moving parts on a build," says Emma. "We eliminated logistical headaches on site for the contractor around appliances. We were proactive in our approach to ensure this rolled out as smoothly as possible."
