After 40 years of working on the road, I secured a job three hours away from my children and grandchildren. This is a significant phase in my life. ARCO Murray in Downers Grove, IL, will be greatly missed. I have many positive things to say about this company. They treated me like a family member and did not micromanage their Superintendents, unlike many companies today. While not all companies are like this, many smaller companies tend to hire Directors of Field Operations with little practical experience, who often arrive on-site expecting to find mistakes. This is one of the reasons I speak so highly of ARCO Murray. Their executives call ahead before visiting a site to ensure availability. Few companies operate this way anymore, and if you find one, it is advisable to stay. Over the past 40 years, I have witnessed significant changes in the industry, some positive but many negative. My advice to younger Superintendents is to thoroughly evaluate a company, just as they evaluate you. If a company has a high turnover rate, it is best to avoid it, as you may come to regret it.

Today, I want to celebrate the end of an era as Graham Moor steps down as CEO of the Roofing Association of New Zealand. It’s hard to truly capture the depth of his contribution to our industry and the mark he’s left over so many years. Within my very first month in this role, Graham called just to let me know he was always there to lend an ear if I ever needed it – and I did. From advocacy challenges to life’s highs and lows, he has been one of my go-to’s for guidance, wisdom, and support. The role of an Association Executive can be challenging and, at times, lonely. But Graham has always answered the phone – without fail. He hasn’t just been a source of advice and strength; he’s become a mate who genuinely cares. Our association and the wider industry owe him a great deal, as he has consistently advocated for others whenever possible. Personally, I am so grateful for the friendship we’ve built. To step down after years of tireless service, knowing that you’ve made such a significant impact, is something that deserves true recognition. So I want to acknowledge you, Graham, on behalf of myself, SARNZ- Scaffolding, Access & Rigging NZ Inc. and the NZ Specialist Trade Contractors Federation, for your unwavering dedication, commitment to doing what’s right for the industry, and the bloody big heart you put into everything you do. “He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tangata, he tangata, he tangata.” What is the most important thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people. I’ve heard you say this many times, and that’s exactly what you’ve embodied as a leader – putting people first, building meaningful connections, and showing true care for those around you. Your leadership wasn’t just about guiding an industry, it was about uplifting the people within it. I couldn’t think of a better legacy to leave behind. Ngā mihi nui, Graham. Thank you for all that you’ve done and all that you are. Your legacy is one of genuine care, leadership, and support – and we’re all the better for it. Wishing you nothing but the best as you move on to your next adventure. #Leadership #IndustryChampion #Gratitude #ThankYou

Grateful. Humbled. Honoured. ?? (Here is why?) Receiving the APJ Abdul Kalam Most Inspiring Person of the Year 2024 award for the waterproofing industry is a milestone I’ll cherish forever. But here’s the thing: This isn’t just my achievement – it’s ours. The journey that led here was built on three principles: 1?? Strong foundations. Just like waterproofing protects a building, trust and collaboration form the base of any success. 2?? Thinking long-term. It’s not just about fixing leaks; it’s about preserving spaces that become legacies. 3?? Celebrating people. Success is never a solo act – it’s the collective effort of those who stand by you. ?? Takeaway: Whether it’s buildings or relationships, the effort we put in today creates something that lasts for years to come. Here’s a simple 2-step strategy to start building your legacy: 1?? Strengthen your foundations. Focus on trust and meaningful connections. 2?? Think beyond quick fixes. Aim for solutions that endure and create lasting impact. What’s your next step toward building something that lasts? Let’s connect and share ideas! ??

With the finale of YELLOWSTONE airing just recently, it got me thinking.... ???????? ???????????????????? - ?????????????????????? ??????????????. ?? ???????? ???????????? - the unshakable leader, someone you turn to when something is going down, would happily fight the competition ???????? ???????????? - the office powerhouse. Sharp, no nonsense, successful. You wouldn't want to be on the wrong side ?????? ?????????????? - high ranking alpha male. Tough, someone you need on your team, gets results. Girls love him, boys want to be him ?????????? ???????????? - the level headed problem solver. Reliable, hands on and dependable. The soldier you need in the ranks ???????????? ?????????????- the voice of reason, mother hen, the glue that keeps the team together, somebody to go to for advice ?????????? ???????????? - the highly ambitious one always chasing approval, polarising character, not 100% trustworthy, probably well spoken ???????????? - the none sensical wildcard but endearing. Keeps things interesting and light hearted. Likely to have an office romance ???????????- the nube. Keen to make an impression, under appreciated, sometimes out of his depth but potential future star ???????????- the loyal office veteran who probably should be further up the pecking order but happy to settle in middle management ???????????? - the consultant who isn't officially part of the team but when they show up, everyone takes note and listens. Carries weight. Any changes or others worth mentioning? #yellowstone #work #colleagues
