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.

Well done Guys. The site was always well organised and tidy. You’ve set the bar for the new Volvo Dealership you are currently constructing in Cardiff 👍😁
