Te Onopoto / Taylors Mistake is sublime today. It is a special place to many of our team. Pictured at the bottom of the image is the Surf Lifesaving clubhouse. It was rebuilt as the old facility was no longer safe post the 2010/11 earthquakes in Canterbury. We were proud to provide professional services to this critically important community service for their rebuild. The club members not only provide surf patrols in the summer but are often also involved in search and rescue, as well as providing general medical support to walkers, mountain bikers and others enjoying this special place year-round. Director Elliot Duke and Acting Marketing Director Amy Carter are active volunteer members of the club. Davis Ogilvie has also planted over 700 natives in the valley. Christchurch City Council, Department of Conservation (DOC) and local landowners have been collectively working to reestablish endemics in the bay and the surrounding headlands and we were happy to support this. Taylors Mistake and the Boulder Bay/Godley Head track are one of the most used recreational areas within Christchurch. #thinkplando #CommunitySupportMatters #giveback Tony Lindbom Russell Benge Kirsten Hall

Davis Ogilvie proudly hosted a Pink Ribbon Breakfast yesterday, raising over $2500 for Breast Cancer Foundation NZ. This is personal to us with staff with a number having mothers, sisters, grandmas, aunties, family and friends who have been affected by the disease.   Previous years we have attended external events but this year we brought it inhouse with an onsite breakfast.   We support the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ's vision to reach zero deaths from breast cancer. Every dollar raised supports the Foundation's mission in early detection, treatment and support. #ThinkPlanDO Elliot Duke Russell Benge Amy Carter Kirsten Hall

Davis Ogilvie is proud to announce we have now been a carbonzero organisation for 10 years running! The environment is important to us; therefore we make it a priority to minimise our impact as much as possible while still carrying out our day to day business. Some of the ways we have minimised our emissions include: - Introducing hybrid vehicles to our fleet 🔋 - Using biodiesel in our Utes ⛽ - Installing solar panels at our offices 🌞 - Managing our waste stream 🌱 Our power and transport emissions account for a large part of our carbon footprint, so minimising these items is key for us. Emissions we are unable to reduce are mitigated with the purchase of certified carbon credits. We are proud of our achievements to date and look forward to continuing on our path of carbon emission reduction in the future! Thank you to the team at Toitū for your support over the last 10 years. 🌟

Our team really enjoyed being at University of Canterbury last week to chat with students. Encouraging and supporting future graduates is important to us and we are always looking for talent for our internship and graduate programmes. Thanks to UC for hosting us. #ThinkPlanDO #engineering #internships #graduates #futuretalent Elliot Duke Russell Benge Tony Lindbom Kirsten Hall Amy Carter Brett Berquist Elsamari Botha Clare Murray

Recently our wonderful Principal Civil Engineer, Sophie South was the star of an article published in the Institute of Directors Boardroom magazine, Autumn 2024 edition. Sophie was selected for a scholarship which was awarded and supported by SWR Group NZ Limited and the Institute of Directors, to develop governance capability in the not-for-profit sector. The scholarship funded a place on the IoD Company Director’s Course, a 5-day intensive residential programme. Well done Sophie! 🌠
