Dear
As 2019 draws to a close we at ENC are reflecting on all the achievement this year including many new businesses opening and some significant new projects announced for the future.
We would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the innumerable local businesses that we have assisted at different stages of their journey.
Finally I want to thank my team. They have worked hard and with integrity. They are looking forward to their well deserved break over Christmas and New Year’s. However, the Kaiapoi i-SITE is only closed Christmas Day and Sundays.
From all of us here at ENC, have a very merry Christmas and a relaxing holiday season.
Kind regards, Heather Warwick, CEO | |
