June:

    SDE extends our warmest welcome to Vadivelan Arikrishnan, our new Production Manager. He and his wife Ranjita come from Malaysia, and we know Velan will bring a depth of new skills to our organisation.

    Velan is our very first ever dedicated Production Manager, and so while his arrival will mean a learning curve for us all, Southland and Southland disABILITY Enterprises Ltd will be much richer for having him here.

    We look forward to September, when Velan and Ranjita can collect their son from Malaysia, and then really get on with their life as a Kiwi family.

May:

    Southland disABILITY Enterprises Ltd. are very proud to have been selected as the inaugural winners of the BDO Spicers Sustainable Development in Business Award, from the Vero Excellence in Business Support Awards, held in May, as part of the Bizzone Expo in Auckland. 

General Manager, Ian Beker and Chairman of the Board, Thursa Kennedy, were at the awards and Ian received the award on behalf of all the staff and workers at SDE.  Congratulations on a job extremely well done!
