We aligned on our vision for the future and had a sneak peek at an exciting new fleet designed to meet both customer and environmental needs. We also took time to recognise those team members who consistently go above and beyond, understanding exactly what matters most to our clients.   With a focus on innovation and always keeping the customer at the heart of what we do, we spent time building collaboration and trust through team-building in the mighty Redwood Forest. It was a chance to strengthen not just our strategies, but our relationships, ensuring we continue to perform at our best — together. ![490208804_1264652678998419_9217305575441204441_n](https://2005876.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/2005876/hubfs/PPS/Blog%20Images/NZ/490208804_1264652678998419_9217305575441204441_n.jpg?width=300&name=490208804_1264652678998419_9217305575441204441_n.jpg) ![487389037_1264652615665092_6032892932009311680_n](https://2005876.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/2005876/hubfs/PPS/Blog%20Images/NZ/487389037_1264652615665092_6032892932009311680_n.jpg?width=300&name=487389037_1264652615665092_6032892932009311680_n.jpg) ![489928988_1264652565665097_5262919440897431858_n](https://2005876.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/2005876/hubfs/PPS/Blog%20Images/NZ/489928988_1264652565665097_5262919440897431858_n.jpg?width=300&name=489928988_1264652565665097_5262919440897431858_n.jpg) ![491311943_1264652522331768_3643928849834810058_n](https://2005876.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/2005876/hubfs/PPS/Blog%20Images/NZ/491311943_1264652522331768_3643928849834810058_n.jpg?width=300&name=491311943_1264652522331768_3643928849834810058_n.jpg) ![490105101_1264652422331778_3414402357135583399_n](https://2005876.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/2005876/hubfs/PPS/Blog%20Images/NZ/490105101_1264652422331778_3414402357135583399_n.jpg?width=300&name=490105101_1264652422331778_3414402357135583399_n.jpg) ![Employee](https://blog.programmed.com.au/hubfs/cta_image.png) ### Have a great story suggestion?
