Hi everyone, we hope that you and your families are well and finding some positives in light of this extraordinary situation we are all facing. I'm Marc Hunter, and together with my wife Kelly, started Latitude Homes back in 2007, we, like many of you have certainly never experienced business conditions like this before. With the massive impact lockdown has had on New Zealand it got us thinking about how we can all bounce back from this, how can we help rebuild New Zealand’s economy?
There is no doubt that Kiwi’s have made a lot of sacrifices over the lockdown period, we’ve all experienced different levels of “normality”. Myself and Kelly have been working hard to ensure that our great team of new home builders around New Zealand were able to maintain contact with clients, and once Level 4 was lifted, were back on the tools getting everyone’s building projects back on track.
Getting our people working again, getting families into their new homes, trading with our suppliers, hiring the subcontractors and turning the cogs of production made us quickly realise that there is no faster way to get our economy up and running again than to keep production levels up and keep the money flowing back into our local and regional economies.
Sometimes when we are searching for a magic solution, the answer to our needs has been there all along.
That got us thinking about why we started Latitude Homes in the first place. Soon we realised that our vision for building our company aligned with our desire to rebuild New Zealand’s economy.
