Jade and Dipak are on their way back from the States brimming with plans for 2012.

We have all been working on our new industry changing development and while we are still keeping it a secret (and believe me when I say it is so hard to - we just want to shout it from the rooftops) it is coming soon. Keep watching this space…

We hope you have all had a wonderful, relaxing holiday break and we can not wait to see you in 2012! BRING IT ON!!!

Project Floors Xmas Celebration 2011

The day started with so much excitement the Project Floors Team met at the office on Friday 12pm, we all left at the same time in a convoy of vehicles. The arrival was a little different though with some of us getting a bit lost along the way. Won't mention any names.

There were some that did the 2 hour horse ride and the scared ones opted for the 1 hour ride. We were so lucky as the weather hadn't started so well in the morning but by midday the sun was out and we were all amping to get on our horses. Fortunately there were no fall offs everyone got back safely with big smiles on their faces, it was a fantastic afternoon soaking up the smell of salt air on the beautiful beach of Pakiri and feeling the heat of the sun.

Everyone was happy to have a drink in hand put on their cowboy hats and get ready for the evening party. Dipak set up a game that challenged all of us in a team way. Also a challenge on our memory's! There was lots of movement, confusion , laughter and some took over the task better than others but so much fun was had and everyone mixed in mingled. Was a good chance for the Project Floors team to introduce their partners and the party just took a natural path of enjoyment. A beautiful BBQ dinner was prepared for us by Sharley and her team, which went down well followed by Pavlova for pudding. Yum! We lit a fire as well so the ambiance was just awesome and we partied on down to the wee hours of the morning.

The Accommodation was totally appreciated after a few drinks and knowing we didn't have to drive home rocked! Not to mention waking up with pretty bush views and some even had ocean views. It was a brilliant Christmas party we all did what we do best here at Project Floors and that's have fun.

Thanks very much to Sharley and her team at Pakiri Beach Horse rides for looking after us, letting us ride your beautiful horses and letting us use your neat accommodation on the beach and feeding us.

Project Floors solution gets GOLD at the New Zealand's Best Awards!

Ella Rasmussen, Associate Director at Creative Spaces has won the gold award for New Zealand's Best Spatial Design at the New Zealand Best Awards. The Manukau Library chose a combination of Bluff Charcoal, Waiwera Infinity and Waipu in this stunning creation by Creative Spaces.

 

  BestAwardsPin

The Project Floors solution was selected due to the superior acoustic quality. A library needs to be serene and peaceful yet it is a high traffic environment. Project Floors EcoTX exceeds the standards set by its competitors in both acoustics, durability, cost effectiveness and on top of all of this is environmentally friendly.

We would like to congratulate Ella and the team at Creative Spaces on this achievement!

Check out the Best Awards website for more information including the gorgeous images of this solution.

BuildNZ event a great success.

The Project Floors team has spent the last 3 days at the ASB showgrounds in
Auckland at the BuildNZ conference and expo. What a great event!

We showcased out latest product, including the stunning lollipop collection that received rave reviews from the crowds of designers and architects that attended the event. As always Project Floors had the most cutting edge and innovative flooring solutions and that made the job for our team on the stand so easy. The floor sold itself and we were able to catch up with many of New Zealand's top designers.

A fantastic and well organised event - Thanks to the BuildNZ organisers!

Also keep an eye out on our facebook page to find out who the lucky winner of the underwater camera is.

 

3rd June 2011

We have just returned from NASDAP in Wellington. It is been a great week at Project Floors with both Retail Australasia Summit in Auckland and the NASDAP in Wellington. It is fantastic getting to see so many existing clients as well as meeting some great new people. Our new National Sales Manager Simon was initiated in the Project Floors team and attended both with our Cheerleader director Jade and our sales star Boa. Here are some pictures of our new stand that we have recently built. We love how sleek it looks and it shows off our great samples. Our flooring at Retail Australasia was our brand new lollipop! It is outstanding, cutting edge and so much fun! If you didn't get a chance to see it let us know.

9th April 2011 NZ Retail Show

We had a great time at NZ Retail Show at the ASB showgrounds on the 6th and 7th April. It was great getting to meet so many people and be able to show off our stunning new stand. (ADD IMAGES)

The NZ Retail show gives New Zealand retailers all the information and products they need to ensure that their retail outlet is fully prepared for future retail activity. Our latest collection of flooring proved popular with the attendees. What makes Project Floors solutions so great is not only do they look fantastic but meet regulations and standards, are hardwearing, durable and cost effective.

Thanks to everyone involved in making the event such a great one!
