Strategic Planning is an important phase of any growing organization/association.

I have been part of the CLC for several years now, and much of the activity quite frequently goes under the radar - but it does work, in my view, consistently and effectively towards a better construction sector in terms of the impact of the sector on society; a sector that serves both it's clients and those who work in the sector better. I give you as examples the Farmer Review, Procuring for Value, the Construction Sector Deal, the Transforming Construction Challenge Fund, the Construction Playbook, Constructing the Gold Standard, the FAC1 contract and Construct Zero. Yes, indeed, what have the Romans ever done for us. (And there's a reference to show I've still got it kids.) So, clients - five carbon commitments. I think these are exciting and inspiring. Maybe you do, in which case please join us. Maybe you don't, in which case what are your commitments? But the solution to much of what we want to do or build in society flows through construction, and clients set many of the rules of the game.

Today, I want to celebrate the end of an era as Graham Moor steps down as CEO of the Roofing Association of New Zealand. It’s hard to truly capture the depth of his contribution to our industry and the mark he’s left over so many years. Within my very first month in this role, Graham called just to let me know he was always there to lend an ear if I ever needed it – and I did. From advocacy challenges to life’s highs and lows, he has been one of my go-to’s for guidance, wisdom, and support. The role of an Association Executive can be challenging and, at times, lonely. But Graham has always answered the phone – without fail. He hasn’t just been a source of advice and strength; he’s become a mate who genuinely cares. Our association and the wider industry owe him a great deal, as he has consistently advocated for others whenever possible. Personally, I am so grateful for the friendship we’ve built. To step down after years of tireless service, knowing that you’ve made such a significant impact, is something that deserves true recognition. So I want to acknowledge you, Graham, on behalf of myself, SARNZ- Scaffolding, Access & Rigging NZ Inc. and the NZ Specialist Trade Contractors Federation, for your unwavering dedication, commitment to doing what’s right for the industry, and the bloody big heart you put into everything you do. “He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tangata, he tangata, he tangata.” What is the most important thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people. I’ve heard you say this many times, and that’s exactly what you’ve embodied as a leader – putting people first, building meaningful connections, and showing true care for those around you. Your leadership wasn’t just about guiding an industry, it was about uplifting the people within it. I couldn’t think of a better legacy to leave behind. Ngā mihi nui, Graham. Thank you for all that you’ve done and all that you are. Your legacy is one of genuine care, leadership, and support – and we’re all the better for it. Wishing you nothing but the best as you move on to your next adventure. #Leadership #IndustryChampion #Gratitude #ThankYou
