Zones 2019 Conference - Focus on Growth Awards

On the 24th July, landscaping experts and enthusiasts from throughout New Zealand gathered in Rotorua for the Zones 2019 “Focus on Growth” conference - with a few attendees making the trip from Australia. Held at Novotel Lakeside, the conference was a chance for members of the Zones family to learn, collaborate and celebrate the success of New Zealand’s leading landscaping company.

The topics covered included “The value of the Zones design and build process”, “councils and consents” as well as exciting updates to Zones’ innovative IT systems. Zones Pensacola’s landscaping specialist Kyle English made an appearance on the big screen, updating viewers on the launch and plans for Zones’ first branch within the United States.
