PRESS RELEASE – September 2020

uPVC is a hardy, durable, and low-maintenance joinery material. Distributed and installed in the Auckland region by Kiwi-owned company Eco Auckland, it can help to reduce the significant load of upkeep for residential and commercial property owners.

Eco Auckland’s product range, which can be fitted or retrofitted and includes double-glazed glass for better insulation, requires only regular washing with soapy water. Wooden window frames, common in older homes and buildings, are prone to warping, rot, flaking paint, and other issues. Even aluminium joinery can degrade and become misshapen. Frequent maintenance is required to keep these joinery products looking good and working well. uPVC can withstand 40 years or more in New Zealand’s harsh UV conditions and does not require repainting. It is not affected by moisture or changes in temperature. This makes life a lot easier for anyone responsible for the upkeep of a home or other building.

Other benefits of uPVC include energy efficiency due to the natural insulative properties of the material and security thanks to the strength and multi-point locking mechanisms featured in all the Eco Auckland products. Secure, eco-friendly, durable, and low-maintenance: uPVC is a fantastic choice for all windows and doors.

If you would like to fit or retrofit a home or building in the Auckland region with uPVC products, get in touch with the Eco Auckland team. You can call them on 021 277 0563 or 09 973 0610, or email at sales@ecoauckland.nz.

Talking about life insurance means talking about death. No-one finds that easy. Pinnacle Life has some tips to get you started with talking about money and life insurance with your partner.

Not many of us have been taught how to have conversations about financial decisions. In fact, financial literacy hasn’t been on the school curriculum for very long at all – at best, it’s still optional for most schools today. There seems to be an underlying assumption that financial literacy is something you can learn yourself or pick up from your parents. But evidence suggests it’s not that easy; New Zealanders are notoriously underinsured and ‘under-saved’.

More than just words, a business’s core values need to be a demonstration of their vision, culture and principals. If your business doesn’t already have core values, now is the time to change that says New Zealand’s premier accounting professionals Tauranga-based Tutbury & Associates Limited.

At its base, core values are simply ideas that guide organisations on how to make decisions.

“Core Values cannot be copied and pasted from another source into your business. They need to be created and developed from within your business, so they are truly authentic to your company and employees,” advises Kelly Tutbury, Accountant and Managing Director at Tauranga-based Tutbury & Associates Limited.

When deciding on your core values consider what values you would like to be the guide on how to act in your work environment. These values can help people understand the difference between right and wrong.

For potential clients, core values paint a picture of a company’s character. For employees they help to shape a business, keep staff responsible and a positive company culture.

“Core values are vital because it provides guidance and direction,” says Kelly. Without core values in place, you are setting up your employees to be confused about how to make decisions and how to treat others, this can make employees less productive. Management can be is less unified and communicative, making it difficult for your team to work together to get jobs done.

According to Forbes, more than 50% of CEOs and CFOs say corporate culture influences productivity, creativity, profitability, firm value and growth rates.

“Core values and business plans go hand in hand. A business plan gives a mapped-out path and the steps it needs to take to reach its goals. Core values are what determine how these goals are reached,” adds Kelly.

To define what your core values are, you’ll need to reflect upon what is important to you and your team as a business. Here are some common core values to get the ball rolling:

• Integrity
• Trust
• Accountability
• Passion
• Fun
• Leadership
• Diversity
• Innovation
