🏁 Not only do we sponsor a range of different motorsports, we are always keen to have a go ourselves...Friday marked our fourth annual karting championship with our friends from TradeZone Wanganui. We love the banter leading up to and following this event and always enjoy a night socializing together afterwards. Some of us are a tad competitive, but everyone went home injury-free 🏁

🛠 Rebecca & Chris L were in the South Island last week, where they met with some of our suppliers for hands on product training and a couple of site visits. A highlight was touring the brand new factory in Rangiora, where they produce between 30-40,000 NZ made drill bits a day - ready to stock our shelves and export all around the world. A shout out goes to our friends at , who gave us a jam on their Fusion Weld machines, and for letting us play with all the toys. It was also great to catch up with the legends from Chain & Rigging and Esko Safety 🛠
