Our team and their families had an awesome time at One New Zealand Stadium at Te Kaha last week, cheering on the Crusaders together.

Experiencing the stadium firsthand was especially meaningful for us, as Powell Fenwick contributed to the Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, Hydraulic and Acoustic design of the stadium. Seeing the community come together in a space we helped shape made the night even more special.

A big thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a memorable outing. It was a great chance to enjoy the atmosphere generated in this first-class venue.
