For Tom from INLINE Design & Build, sorting site logistics is one less thing he has to worry about.

One supplier, one login, one less job on the list and you can book your site services directly from your PlaceMakers trade app or portal.

Thanks for the shout-out Tom!

Our paint range has changed for the better!

From paint prep to the perfect finish, we’ve got you covered!

Our new range is available now in-store. Pop into a Placies and talk paint with us.

22/09/2026

At Placies, we get it.

Stan from Lockhart Construction knows what it's like juggling a dozen things on site and says that's exactly why his Placies rep is such a good sounding board.

This is the difference real trade experience makes. Someone on the other end of the phone who's actually swung a hammer, and who sorts the small stuff before it becomes a big headache.

Thanks for the kind words Stan!

Te Wiki o te Reo Māori might be over, but te reo lives on in our stores, on our sites, and in our teams every single day.

Did you know speaking a second language has been shown to delay the onset of dementia, boost memory function, and sharpen problem-solving skills? Kupu by kupu, it's worth keeping going.

He waka eke noa – we're all in this together!

Mā te wā, PlaceMakers whānau 🧡

One week ago PlaceMakers Blenheim officially become a standalone branch once again after five years as a hub with the team in Nelson/Motueka.

This marks an important milestone and the first major step on an exciting journey toward becoming locally owned and operated once more. Being closer to our customers, our community, and the people who make Marlborough and Kaikoura great puts us in a strong position for the future. We will still have close ties with the branches on the other side of the hill, meaning we can tap into their resource when needed.
We're incredibly excited about what lies ahead and look forward to continuing to support our customers with the same great service, local knowledge, and commitment they've come to expect from the PlaceMakers team.

Here's to a new chapter for PlaceMakers Blenheim!

A great evening hosting the Marlborough Chamber of Commerce Business After 5 event at PlaceMakers Blenheim.

It was a privilege to share our story with their members, showcase the many parts of our business, and talk through our journey back to being locally owned and operated from 1 July. Exciting times ahead as we return to standing alone and continue investing in our customers, team, and community.

Thanks to everyone who joined us and contributed to a fantastic evening.

🏉 STATE OF ORIGIN GAME TWO – GUESS THE SCORE & WIN! 🏉

Game Two is almost here, and we’re giving you the chance to win a smoko shout! Simply comment below with your predicted final score, and if someone nails it exactly, there’ll be a bonus prize up for grabs as well.

While you’re making your picks, we thought we’d share a few highlights from one of our recent customer trips.

Back in April, PlaceMakers Blenheim, Nelson and Motueka hosted a group of customers for the Warriors ANZAC Test 2026 in Wellington. From a competitive start at Strikezone Petone (where Brendon Lang may or may not have cemented his title as Blenheim’s unofficial bowling champion), to great food, brewery hospitality and an unforgettable night at a packed-out Hnry Stadium, it was a fantastic few days away.

With more than 36,000 fans in attendance and the Warriors producing a memorable comeback victory, it was an experience our customers won’t forget in a hurry.

These trips are all about saying thanks to our customers and creating opportunities to connect outside the worksite – and this one certainly delivered.

Now it’s your turn…
