It was great to be back amongst it at the Waikato Principals’ Association Conference! It’s been a while since we’ve been able to catch up with principals in the region, with this being the first get-together since last year’s Covid lockdowns. The conference is usually held every term, and CrestClean is a Bronze Level Sponsor.

It was a proud moment for CrestClean’s Waikato Regional Manager when he presented certificates to business owners who have successfully completed their training.

A former ostrich farmer is celebrating five successful years running his own CrestClean business. Cornelius Du Preez says compared with farming in his native South Africa, CrestClean has been a breath of fresh air. “Being a farmer was a lot of hard work.
