| 3 “We were having to put a stop on sales due to the limitations of our previous facilities, but now with the new transport hub, we’ve got room to grow.” T T to page 4 BUSINESS Bascik Transport & Calder Stewart T T Karen Phelps New hub a game-changer for firm The distribution hub spans 6000sqm with canopies throughout giving 5000sqm of undercover loading area. Proudly supporting the latest Bascik Transport build Bascik Transport, a leading player in the logistics and transportation industry, is set to redefine the landscape of transport with the unveiling of its state-of-the-art transport hub in Christchurch. Constructed in collaboration with Calder Stewart, the ambitious project is poised to bring about a host of benefits that will not only propel Bascik’s growth but also streamline operations, setting new standards of efficiency and customer satisfaction, says Bascik Transport general manager Owain Davies. “We were having to put a stop on sales due to the limitations of our previous facilities, but now with the new transport hub, we’ve got room to grow,” he says. The distribution hub spans 6000sqm with canopies throughout giving 5000sqm of undercover loading area. The facility’s strategic placement means it is shielded from the main southerly wind reflecting Bascik’s commitment to optimising its operations. What sets this hub and surrounding facilities apart is its integration of cutting-edge technology. For example with the simple push of a button Owain says 14 roller doors can be operated simultaneously, streamlining the loading and unloading processes and expediting the flow of goods. This innovative approach to automation not only enhances efficiency but also underscores Bascik’s commitment to staying at the forefront of industry advancements. Bascik’s journey to this milestone has been characterised by perseverance and strategic expansion. The roots of the development trace back to its modest beginnings on Matipo Street in 1982. Over the years, Bascik Transport strategically acquired neighbouring parcels of land, culminating in the acquisition of the old Pacifica Seafoods site in late 2021 meaning that Bascik Transport owns 40,000 square metres of land, effectively doubling its land holding. The Pacifica Seafoods site, which was accompanied by functional equipment and structures, provided the canvas upon which the new distribution hub was built. The journey involved a meticulous process of selling off equipment and demolishing existing structures. Owain says that Calder Stewart’s has been a valuable part of Bascik’s growth story. “Calder Stewart has been a long-running partner of ours and has helped us to build our sites. We have four sites throughout Christchurch now, three of which have been built by Calder Stewart. “They know what we want, and they do a great job, and we have good relationships with them,” says Owain.

T T from page 3 KC Fence Systems are proud to support Bascik Transport & Calder Stewart. The Connect Group are proud to support Calder Stewart on yet another successful build. Developing People & Influencing Industry Because We Care Proud to work with Bascik Transport & Calder Stewart, Looking forward to many more projects. So why this hub and why now? The answer lies in Bascik’s burgeoning transport division, which has emerged as the largest user of KiwiRail for transporting goods from Auckland to the South Island. This distribution hub serves as the focal point for the goods that enter Bascik’s South Island hubs, where they are unloaded and distributed. Owain says the impact of the new transport hub extends beyond infrastructure. And highlights the significance of the expansion. “It’s been a game-changer. We were always congested before, so now it’s going to really increase efficiencies and provide a better end result for customers. We have also added five new staff members on the freight handler side, a clear testament to the growth potential this project unlocks.” Bascik Transport: Leading the Way in Efficient Logistics and Sustainable Practices Over its five decades of operation Bascik Transport has become a name synonymous with efficiency, reliability and sustainability, solidifying its position as a trailblazer in the logistics and transportation industry. This family-owned business has evolved from its humble beginnings to become a powerhouse in freight and distribution, setting industry standards through its exceptional services and commitment to sustainable practices, says company general manager Owain Davies. Founded by Mervin Bascik in 1970, the company initially commenced operations with a single truck, catering to Christchurch’s metropolitan deliveries. Since then, Bascik Transport has expanded its reach, establishing its presence in key locations across New Zealand’s South Island. Under the leadership of Mervin’s son, Tony Bascik, the present managing director, the company’s fleet has grown exponentially, now boasting over 150 trucks nationwide and a total staff of 280. Owain says that what sets Bascik Transport apart is its comprehensive approach to the logistics landscape. The company operates three third-party logistics (3PL) warehouses in Christchurch equipped with modern pallet racking systems. These warehouses, managed by a team of proficient staff and managers, cater to customer storage needs while ensuring efficient order fulfilment through meticulous picking and packing processes. Additionally, the company’s large depot in Auckland acts as another central hub, orchestrating the collection of freight from various locations. It’s dedication to professionalism and superior service means it has become the go-to company for many industries: “For example we specialise in food-grade products and our warehouses have full rodent control and computer-controlled stock rotation using our customised software,” explains Owain. “Our managed warehousing system is audited independently as part of our Food Safety Programme, ensuring the utmost care in handling products.” Bascik Transport’s distinctive approach revolves around utilizing its own fleet of trucks, purpose-built for various types of freight. This allows it to offer specialist services including car and container transportation.

Recognizing the environmental impact of transportation, the company has championed the use of New Zealand’s rail network. By partnering with KiwiRail, Bascik Transport has significantly reduced carbon emissions and diesel consumption. Owain says that rail transport’s ability to move large quantities of goods with fewer emissions and less road congestion aligns seamlessly with the company’s vision of eco-conscious logistics. Bascik Transport’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond rail utilization. The company’s forward-thinking approach involves promoting bulk freighting, which reduces the number of inter-island trips and minimizes the carbon footprint associated with frequent small shipments. “We encourage our clients to freight their goods in bulk, reducing the impact that transporting smaller products more frequently into South Island destinations has on our environment,” he says. As Bascik Transport continues to redefine industry standards, the company’s future plans and goals reflect its dedication to expansion and innovation. “We are finishing off our network and are currently building another project with the assistance of Calder Stewart in Dunedin on half of the old Carisbrook sport venue. The 8000sqm site will become the new Dunedin depot, due to be operational by late September. We are also in the planning stage at the moment for a new Nelson depot for 2024 and we’re looking to open a small depot in Timaru early 2024. We’re always looking at what we can do next.”

Their con dence in us has been the driving force behind our commitment to them – a genuine partnership! We're excited for the future, working together to achieve even greater outcomes. As Christchurch law firm Cavell Leitch celebrates one hundred years of providing exceptional legal services to generations of its clients, the firm reflects on its past, and a proud heritage that has shaped its culture and its future. The firm was founded as a sole practice in 1923 by Arthur Cavell and later became Cavell & Leitch when he joined forces with Tam Leitch in 1938. Ian Pringle and Des Boyle later joined, along with many of Christchurch’s leading lawyers, to form the full-service wellknown Christchurch law firm that we see today, 100 years on. The firm then grew steadily and established itself as a leading force in the Christchurch market, a position the firm continues to hold today. Throughout the decades Cavell Leitch’s guiding values have remained the same. They provide their clients with clear advice and great service. As they head into their second century in business, Cavell Leitch is on a journey working towards being known for providing the most dependable advice and best client service. “We understand that legal matters can be challenging; our role as lawyers is to simplify the process for our clients,” says Michael Dickie, Principal and Board Chairperson for Cavell Leitch. Former Partner Ian Pringle often said “it is a privilege to work with our clients” This strong foundation continues to shape the way they work with our clients today. “When you work with Cavell Leitch you will deal with people who know the law, understand the issues, and are passionate about helping people”. As Cavell Leitch enters its second century, the firm is building on its heritage but with an eye for the future. Customer service is still the driving force, and the firm’s goal is to be New Zealand’s best legal experience for clients. “People come to us when they have a problem that they cannot resolve themselves, or perhaps want to embark on a new venture and need help doing it. It’s up to us to help them move forward. “We work hard to give them timely and practical advice and work alongside our clients along the way by ensuring they understand what is involved. “It is important they can contact us at any time and talk to someone who is relatable. “People have choices, and we see it as a privilege to help them.” “We understand that legal matters can be challenging; our role as lawyers is to simplify the process for our clients.” Now employing around 75 staff, Cavell Leitch has worked hard to foster a workplace culture that values both clients and each other. “Workplace culture is a massive focus for Cavell Leitch. We share common values and provide an environment where everyone can really succeed and thrive. We are a firm that wants to give our staff every opportunity to learn and grow, get treated well, and it’s a great place to work.” Cavell Leitch has developed over the years to become a full-service law firm. and boasts recognised experts practicing business and commercial law, property law, trusts and estates, relationships law, immigration and employment law, dispute resolution and litigation.

8 | Tru-Bilt Industries REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT T T Kim Newth Leader in safety systems marks 30th Tru-Bilt Industries is celebrating its 30year business journey with the release of a video telling their story, an anniversary dinner for staff and other festive events. As the team marks this special milestone, the Dunedin manufacturer of world class steel safety systems is proudly reflecting on a track record of innovation and growth through the years. “Where we have got to in our journey is because of our dedicated workforce and strong relationships with our customers,” says Tru-Bilt managing director Mark Taylor. Mark and his father, a builder by trade, started Tru-Bilt in 1993 to make industrial doors but soon began exploring what else they could offer their customers. This focus on innovation led to the development of the company’s Tru-Gard range of high quality steel safety systems including safety barriers, handrails and bollards. When Tru-Bilt first started making Tru-Gard products in 1999, the company could already see momentum building on better health and safety practices in New Zealand industries. “However, the implementation of the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 was a big step up. We’ve noticed that improvements in workplace health and safety often drive a cool culture change. If someone raises a safety concern, it can pave the way to continuous improvement across that business.” Tru-Bilt moved into their cutting edge 1400sqm factory in 2019. It is equipped with the latest CNC steel processing and plasma cutting equipment for fast and efficient manufacturing. All products are designed and engineered for optimal performance. Tru-Bilt is also strongly focussed on reducing their carbon footprint with all steel product 100% recyclable and cardboard packaging used where possible. At the end of 2020, Tru-Bilt sold the industrial doors side of the operation to focus solely on the design, manufacture and installation of Tru-Gard steel safety systems. “As we are increasing the new Tru-Gard products coming on board, we are also employing new people. This year alone, in the first six months we employed four extra people in the factory. The New Zealand market is tracking well for us and we have some exciting projects going on this year, including the Christchurch Fresh Distribution Centre (CFDC) in Rolleston and the Winstone Wallboards factory in Tauranga.” The CFDC is an 11,000sqm development for a major supermarket brand that will serve as a southern distribution hub for fresh produce. Tru-Gard systems will be providing traffic safety to the site in the form of safety barriers, bollards, handrails, personnel gates and door frame protection. The Tru-Bilt factory team is busy making the products ready for installation in spring. Tru-Gard steel safety barriers will also be going into the Winstone Wallboards factory, along with barrier tunnels to protect staff in higher risk areas and a covered safe parking zone for drivers. “We can very easily modify our product to meet customer requirements, with fully engineered designs.” Popular with their clientele is the TruGard Configurator that can help turn ideas into a visible plan with 3D visual effects and personalised illustrations. “It works really well and you can quickly make changes to cover all options.” Their Dunedin factory team is also busy this year making bollards for the domestic market, largely due to the surge in ram raids and retail owners wanting to upgrade their shop fronts. As Mark observes, bollards will also help protect premises from accidental vehicle damage. As well as meeting demand in New Zealand, Tru-Gard steel safety systems have been selling well in Australia for the past 20 years and in other safety conscious markets around the world. Mark and his family remain at the heart of this business success story. His brother Paul runs the workshop and Mark’s daughter Saffron has joined the 20-strong factory team. “It has been a big journey through to where we are today.” “Where we have got to in our journey is because of our dedicated workforce and strong relationships with our customers.” The Dunedin manufacturer of world class steel safety systems has a proud track record of innovation and growth through the years.

SCAN THE QR CODE TO VIEW THE LISTING. Christchurch’s Cranmer Terraces stands as a testament to luxurious urban living, says director of developer Huadu Development, Antony Geddes. “Buyer interest has been strong and 29 of the 44 townhouses have already sold,” he says. Antony puts this down to the unique proposition of Cranmer Terraces in the market: “Our product is very different from what’s currently available. Every aspect of Cranmer Terraces has been meticulously planned to offer an unparalleled living experience,” he says. The vision behind Cranmer Terraces was brought to life by MAP Architects, who were guided by a clear mandate – to create a luxurious oasis in the heart of Christchurch. Located near Cranmer Square and the iconic Hagley Park, these premium townhouses offer north or west facing outdoor living spaces and contemporary interiors. The townhouses are set within four distinct buildings, each showcasing its own unique colour palette to create a distinct identity. Large windows adorn each unit, inviting natural light to flow in and establishing a seamless connection with the surrounding environment. The interiors include premium fixtures, high-end appliances and cutting-edge features that promise an incomparable standard of comfort, says Antony. Despite its modern appeal, Cranmer Terraces effortlessly integrates into the fabric of the wider community. Seven original townhouses, constructed in the 1980s by Sheppard and Rout, have been thoughtfully retained, creating an intriguing interplay between the old and the new. “This architectural juxtaposition pays homage to the site’s history while offering a contemporary, elegant living experience,” Antony says. The development’s design also draws inspiration from the site’s rich history, embracing its scale and quality. A mix of brick veneer, render, and metal cladding ensures a diverse and characterful streetscape, while nodding to the traditional Christchurch architectural style. Antony says the location of Cranmer Terraces is indeed one of its most compelling attributes. The development has appealed to both owner-occupiers and investors, thanks to its proximity to premier shopping, dining, and entertainment destinations. For those who seek a more leisurely pace, lush green spaces and the tranquil Avon River surround the development. Cultural enthusiasts will enjoy the nearby Arts Centre and Te Puna o Waiwhetu, the city’s Art Gallery, says Antony. For families education options around Cranmer Terraces are also second to none, with prestigious institutions such as Christchurch Girls’ and Christchurch Boys’ High Schools in close proximity. The development’s two and three-bedroom options cater to families of all sizes, ensuring that everyone can find their ideal living space, says Antony. Each unit comes with at least one car parking space, and the larger units even feature a double garage. A common path with barbecue and communal areas, along with bicycle parking facilities, further enriches the sense of community, says Antony. As the sole owner of the project, Huadu International, under the stewardship of Jianping Wang, has brought Cranmer Terraces to life. “The development is a celebration of Christchurch’s past, present, and future, offering a harmonious blend of timeless elegance and contemporary luxury,” says Antony.

Huadu International is a subsidiary of the Beijing-based development and construction powerhouse Huadu Group, and has a diverse range of completed and on-going projects in New Zealand. Among its notable completed developments, Huadu International has left an indelible mark on the city of Christchurch. The Manawa Research Centre, strategically located within Christchurch’s health precinct, exemplifies the company’s dedication to creating state-of-the-art spaces for medical and research purposes. Likewise, the transformation of the former Oxford Clinic site into a modern medical services building stands as a testament to Huadu’s ability to breathe new life into existing structures. Huadu’s innovative approach extends to heritage preservation, as evidenced by the restoration of the iconic Lintrathen Gardens. The development, nestled on Glandovey Road, showcases two luxury residential houses and eight upscale townhouses, underscoring Huadu’s ability to seamlessly blend classic charm with contemporary living, says Antony. Central to Huadu’s legacy in Christchurch is the Manawa Building in the Oxford Terrace precinct. Collaborating closely with the Canterbury District Health Board, CPIT, the University of Otago, and the University of Canterbury, Huadu successfully realised a vision for a cutting-edge health research and education facility. Huadu’s achievements also encompass commercial developments as seen in the Huadu International Hub on Oxford Terrace. The striking five-story office complex, characterised by its architectural flair and Matapopore Design influences, adds vibrancy to the landscape while providing prime office spaces overlooking the Avon River and Botanic Gardens. The company’s commitment to sustainability and community enrichment is further demonstrated through projects like the Huadu Innovation Zone Chambers and East Frame Carpark. By implementing structural strengthening, services upgrades, and cosmetic enhancements, Huadu breathed new life into these buildings, enhancing their functionality and aesthetic appeal. As Huadu International continues to shape Christchurch’s skyline, it has introduced an array of exciting on-going projects that promise to redefine urban living. The Huadu Innovation Zone (HIZ) Tower, formerly the IRD Building, stands as a testament to the company’s ambitious vision. With its location overlooking the future Christchurch indoor stadium, this seven-story office complex is poised to become an iconic part of the cityscape. Further exemplifying its commitment to education and innovation, Huadu International is planning the Huadu International Recovery Centre (HIRC). With unique design elements, HIRC aims to be a showpiece for Christchurch architecture. The project combines medical and commercial spaces, creating a hub that fosters collaboration and growth, explains Antony. Also on the horizon is the Huadu New Zealand Education Centre (HNZEC), which will see the revival of the old Law Courts. This multifaceted development will house educational facilities, apartments, and office spaces, reflecting Huadu’s commitment to adaptive reuse and holistic community development. T T Karen Phelps

This concept is reflected in the design of the facility, with attention paid to light, colour palettes and workout selection. “To Live Forward is to be mindful of the present and make choices that benefit your future self — such as connecting with your community to experience the joy of movement together,” explains Brett. “We’re bringing a clean and simple approach to our look and feel and Les Mills Dunedin will soon be one of Les Mills’ flagship clubs.” With a keen focus on community, Brett says Les Mills aims to foster connection within the facility through transitional spaces. This commitment to inclusivity and engagement is embedded in every aspect from the various workout spaces to the specialised amenities.
