Hi,I love that the days are getting noticeably longer and lighter
as the shortest day is but a memory! We have all done well and it will only get
better from here as Spring and Summer loom excitingly. Just to make sure things
tick over as quickly as possible I have built a couple of well timed long
weekends into the coming weeks. This is designed to mix things up nicely and
make sure I don’t burn myself out with too many full on full weeks! This might
sound whimpish but it is all about pacing myself and making sure I take time
out to ensure I stay focused. No one is going to tell me to take a break, so I
needed to seize the initiative myself….so I did….you should too.

any day,inspiring stuff for impressionable minds.I bet many if not all of our
competitors started out the same way?!!
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback over recent weeks, I
always appreciate your thoughts, ideas, recommendations , commendations and
above all else you sharing personal experiences and feelings, just like I do in

What a business week it was for our little kiwi owned green
field Green Gorilla start up SME!
We took on the big overseas private equity owned corporates
and against all the odds we WON!
We were awarded one of Auckland biggest recycling and refuse
removal contracts that has previously been the exclusive domain of one of the
big guys for over twenty five years!!!
Yes Ladies and Gentlemen from September first we will be the
exclusive provider of these services to the University of Auckland. This
globally reknowned institution is responsible for shaping the future of thirty
five thousand students annually, what a huge opportunity and major victory for
our company.
How on earth did this happen?
We backed ourselves and believed we have what it takes to not
only provide these services but to provide creative, innovative and importantly
sustainable solutions well into the future on campus.
We have preferred to fly under the radar since arriving on
the scene almost four years ago. We believe this combined with the corporate
arrogance and complacency of our competitors worked in our favour as we came
from nowhere to snatch a famous and what will be a memorable victory.
The arrogance of the incumbent continued in the wake of the
defeat as they reacted aggressively by refusing to allow sufficient notice in a
deliberate effort to usurp our commencement and cause as much disruption to
their customer of over twenty five years as possible……….unbelieveable
behaviour!
Wow, what a shot in the arm for the little guy and a massive
vote of confidence in what we have strived to achieve in our brief history.
This is a classic example that anything is possible and that if you back
yourself and have a crack then you can mix it with anybody no matter how big or
small.
Never stop believing …..we ceratainly wont…. Bring it
on….time for the hard yards at UoA now !!!
