6 7 BUSINESS VIEW OCEANIA VOLUME 4, ISSUE 6 BUSINESS VIEW OCEANIA VOLUME 4, ISSUE 6 Our guys are really experienced and can provide education and training to painting companies to improve their skills. So again, that comes down to making sure the process is smooth and as stress-free as possible for our clients, from start to finish. It’s one of the reasons why we encourage clients to bring us in early- if we come in at the end, we generally find a lot of issues that need to be reworked. So, by utilising our expertise right from the beginning, our clients save time, money, and resources.” NZ Corrosion Services has four Values, that were defined jointly by the whole team: Treat others with respect and fairness; Be transparent and accountable in our work; Be open in communication and adding value; Grow strong internal and external relationships through trust. Mr Pickles states, “These values are key to the business. At its heart, this is a people- centric business, and all of these values reflect NZ CORROS ION SERV I CES Providing Corrosion Control solutions in New Zealand & the Pacific for the past 40 years Contact us today Email: customerservice@metspray.co.nz Website: www.metspray.co.nz Phone: +64 9 274 5488 We believe our clients deserve the best possible care and quality of workmanship. This is guaranteed by our comprehensive quality control documentation executed by our team of experienced and certified coatings inspectors. WE SPECIALIZE IN FACTORY & SITE BASED INDUSTRIAL/COMMERCIAL ABRASIVE BLASTING, PROTECTIVE AND FIREPROOFING COATINGS how we treat our staff, clients, and suppliers, as well as how we would like to be treated.” Mr. Berry elaborates, “All of our inspectors are certified with the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (previously NACE and SSPC) and/or the NZ Certification Board for Inspection Personnel (CBIP). We invest in specific training for them to grow in a variety of areas, for example in fireproof coating inspections. We do this for two reasons; it’s good for our staff in that it broadens their skills, and it’s good for the business because it increases our scope for growth into other sectors.” In line with their commitment to collaboration, NZ Corrosion Services would like to give a shoutout to the Australasian Corrosion Association, NZ Certification Board for Inspection Personnel, and Corrodere, as well as industry clients including Fletcher Construction, Methanex, Dialog Fitzroy, Worley, Fonterra, NZ Defence Force, and Arch Painters.

One of our strengths is, given the experience of our team, we are able to turn our hand to pretty much anything. We now offer things like rope access inspections to save our clients money on scaffolding, which will allow us to expand into sustainable energy support for structures like wind turbines, hydro and geothermal plants, while still taking care of our key industrial and construction clients.” Mr Berry shares. Mr. Pickles concludes, “Another area of development for us is in commercial building. We have a lot of value to add in that space by increasing the quality and longevity of applied coatings. Finally, we have plans to increase our employee base. Part of the challenge of operating in such a niche area is finding the right people for the job, with both the right skills and aligned Values. This means that we need to cast the net wide, with both local New Zealanders and and overseas applicants for these positions. We aim to steadily take on staff and have a really solid base of inspectors, consultants, and engineers when 2025 rolls around.”
