The team at Zentec wish to thank all of our customers and business community for your support in 2024. It continues to be an honour and a privilege to serve your ever-growing, ever-changing tech needs.

We especially appreciate everyone who has chosen to shop local this year and support our wee shop in town. Your business has not only kept the talented Adrian busy, but it has also given our young tech in training Caleb a wealth of experience which will be of priceless benefit in his career moving forward.

It has been a wild but rewarding year for us, there has been a lot happening behind the scenes. With Petr & Ali bringing wee Sophie into the world and our two daughters (Olive 4yrs and Frankie 2yrs) growing up as fast as the speed of light. Running a business like this while meeting the needs of young families is no easy task, but I think we nailed it..

The shop will close from 2pm today and will re-open on Monday 6th January. For any urgent needs please call the shop on 03 525 8371 and leave a message. One of us will be on-call at all times to help with any emergencies.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and another great Golden Bay summer!

From the Zentec team
