On October 4, 2025 we held our highly anticipated FNR Fishing and Gather Competition, a day of camaraderie and friendly competition between the FNR Group and the Panel Lock team. This event brought together employees, the whanau, subcontractors, and suppliers for a memorable day on the water.
The event fostered teamwork and strengthened relationships across our community. We look forward to building on this success in future events, continuing to create opportunities for connection and enjoyment among our teams and partners. Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to making this day a success!
