He is an outdoor enthusiast specifically known for his fishing and diving but also is a workhorse in both the field and office for Happyhire Wellington. Mitch deals with Clientele from the first point of contact right through to drive back from the completed job. His favourite part about

From the Country, born, bred and raised as a sheep and beef farmer in Central Otago, Ali has had 'hard-worker' etched into her genes. Her eye for detail from her photography and art background ensures that completed jobs are done to their best potential, and her years of experience in hospitality allows her to communicate naturally with customers, (especially the old grumpy ones, they are her favourite,) so if you are needing a marquee set up on time and to a high standard, she's the one you want onsite. side-kick of Mitch, they combined to make a power-team in the Marquee and Events industry."
