The Aoraki Foundation 2026 Impact Report is out, and it is a good reminder of why we got involved.

We are a South Canterbury owned business. The people in these pages are our neighbours, our customers and our kids' sports clubs. Being a Strategic Partner of the Foundation is one of the more practical ways we can put something back, because the funds stay local and keep giving long after the cheque clears.

Vetta has achieved a 100% SiteWise rating. 🥳

SiteWise is the independent scheme that assesses a contractor's Health and Safety systems, and it is what a lot of our clients and partners use to decide who they will let on site. A perfect score means our documentation, our processes and the way our crews actually work day to day all held up under assessment. 🧑‍🔧

This is the first year we have hit 100%, and it is a team result. Hazards reported, incidents logged, toolbox talks attended, paperwork done properly on the days when it would have been easier not to. That is what gets measured, and our people aced it. 👏

Every one of our team goes home safe. That is the point of the score, and having our internal policies and processes scrutinised. ⭐️

Jaco has joined the crew as our Senior Service Desk Engineer, which means when you ring us, there's a fair chance he's the voice on the other end sorting it out.

He's the sort of engineer who lights up when a problem defies all reason, because he has to know what makes it tick. He'll tell you tech isn't magic, just far too many years of obsessively convincing computers to do what they're told. What he cares about most is that anyone who calls feels properly listened to rather than fobbed off. As he puts it, we're glorified plumbers and sparkies: nobody rings us because everything is working.

Outside work he's a serial volunteer and a big champion of MakerSpaces, repair cafes and upcycling, putting his time into grassroots efforts around the community. The rest of the time you'll find him junk-hacking, flying kites, or enjoying a truly terrible movie.

Two things he'll happily argue about: ISO 8601 date formats, and the fact that if you bought it, you own it and you're entitled to look under the hood. He also has a cautionary tale about not needing backups, right up until the moment you do.

Give him a warm welcome. And if you've got a problem that's been niggling away, he's the man to call.

Brisbane, we're on our way. 🇳🇿✈️🇦🇺

Shaun and Gabi are off to AusNOG 2026 this week (3rd-4th September, Brisbane) to talk all things New Zealand connectivity.

If you're an Aussie provider wondering how to get customers connected in NZ, that's our whole thing. Our own national network, last-mile connectivity through fibre & wireless plumbed back to your network, plus tech & field services - all under one roof.

Come say kia ora if you spot us. We're the ones with the accent.

Great to see this from AREC - Amateur Radio Emergency Communications 📻

AREC volunteers turn out at all hours for search and rescue, civil defence callouts and community events, and when they do, their comms have to just work. Keeping their Crosswire connection online is an easy thing for us to say yes to.

Proud to back the people who put their hand up when things go wrong 👏

Worth a read if you have never come across AREC or Crosswire before 👇

It’s great to have a sponsor we can really connect with 👀

Thanks to Vetta Group our Crosswire internet connection is sorted so our volunteers can stay online and ready to respond in an emergency 📶

Not sure what Crosswire is and why the connection is so important? Head over to our website and read about it
