Introducing our Milford Experts: Alex Kayser of Milford Print, Mary Buckley of helloworld Travel, and Jordan and Brooke of Harcourts.
Alex, what printing services do you offer?
Good question, because I used to be the photo shop in Milford, and specialised in a wide range of creative printing services as well as developing photos.
I have a passion for photography and have worked with photos in Photoshop for 25 years now. This developed (no pun intended) into my main creative outlet, which is restoring, editing or enhancing photos, and then creating gallery-quality prints. I enjoy using a range of media, including photo papers, cotton art papers and canvas.
So, in 2016 I decided to focus (another unintended pun) on this side of my business, and moved into a smaller studio at 162 Kitchener Road, behind café La Tropezienne. I also specialise in framing, and all types of passport photos.
Mary, what sort of travel can we do that minimises carbon footprint?
With growth in the travel, tour and cruise industry globally, the industry as a whole has a focus on minimising the carbon and environmental footprint caused by travellers. Air New Zealand has a FlyNeutral programme where travellers can offset their carbon emissions to support native New Zealand forest restoration projects.
The leading tour companies we book at helloworld Travel support the communities they visit, protect the local wildlife and run sustainability projects. The Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) that regulates the cruise industry has a strong interest in protecting the ocean, with a 40% projected reduction of carbon emissions by 2030, ongoing recycling activities and not releasing untreated wastewater into the ocean.
Jordan + Brooke, tell us about the Building Hope Project for CureKids.
The Building Hope project is led by Landmark Homes North Shore franchisees Debbie and Paul Brett. They have generously undertaken the build of an incredible 272 sqm, four-bedroom home located in Hobsonville, which will be auctioned off for CureKids on Red Nose Day. Landmark Homes will not make any profit from the build, and the generosity of suppliers has enabled considerable cost savings along the way.
Team Jordan + Brooke are proudly marketing the beautiful home at 37 Kano Way. For further details about the home, visit www.37KanoWay.com or drop one of us a line. We’d love your help to get the word out there too – so if you know any families looking for an absolutely stunning new home, be sure pass it on to them – as not only is it a spectacular property, but with all proceeds going to CureKids, it really is an excellent cause.
