Creating bespoke investment portfolios
A tight schedule Since the first sod was turned on September 1, 2015, progress was swift and exciting. With the new pools taking shape and initial landscaping underway, Tekapo Springs staff were thrilled to see dreams become reality. As of November 25, fibre glass spraying and painting of the adults’ pool had been completed, with fibre glass spraying commencing on the children’s cold pool a few days after. Karl says as the pools literally took shape on a daily basis, staff could start to get a sense of what they would be delivering to guests.
A helping hand The design concept of the pools came from Karl himself and he even completed some of the earth and civil works while co-ordinating the whole project. Although Karl played a major hand in bringing the new additions to life, he received a wide slot of help from both local companies and others from around New Zealand. Those involved included H2O Water Systems from Auckland doing the pool plant; High Country Carpentry from Fairlie doing all the building and formwork; Stephen Styles Block and Brick doing block work; Murray Linton Concrete doing concrete laying; Reflex Industrial doing fibre glassing; and Damon Smith Electrical and Prolec (Professional Electric) from Christchurch doing controls and automation.

Key features of the new additions include:
Christchurch businesses are all too familiar with the struggles and obstacles that come with upheaving an office and moving to a new location.
• Cooler temperature 80sqm adult pool – perfect for increasingly hotter summer days
One local business that understands the struggle all too well is Hamilton Hindin Greene.
• 80sqm aqua play/spray area for kids
The investment advisory firm has endured a turbulent and unsettled time since the February 2011 earthquake. It has almost consistently been on the move from one premise to the next; moving offices five times in the last five years.
• 130sqm kids’ beach access pool • Feature water jets, funnels, geysers, spots and more.
The perfect spot Tekapo Springs is nestled on the shores of stunning Lake Tekapo, boasting a unique mix of summer and winter recreation and relaxation. Open 364 days a year, the attraction already includes three existing outdoor hot pools, a steam and sauna facility, an ice rink, water slides, summer and winter tubing, a day spa, café and fully licensed bar. The company has evolved into a year-round “must-do” on the bucket list of many visitors to the South Island, as well as stamping its mark as an important centrepiece in the Tekapo community. The new pools are a testament to the company’s drive to grow and develop, while continuously exceeding customer expectations. The three new pools help step-up Tekapo Springs’ summer offering and put it among one of the country’s leading tourism operators. CT
CEO Ian Perry explains that one day before the earthquake, Hamilton Hindin Greene shifted from its office on Hereford Street in the old National Bank building, where it had been based for 30 years, to the BDO building on Victoria Street. When the February quake struck it had just over a day to move everything out of the damaged building, but luckily no one was hurt, Ian says. In the following chaos it moved to a space above the Dinghy’s & Outboards warehouse on
Lincoln Road, “then that got knocked down”. In 2012 it shifted into a brand new building on Manchester Street called Westende House.
“It was 140 percent up to code and we thought it was going to be our permanent location. Then suddenly we got notice when the council’s transport plan was released that the planners had decided they wanted to purchase the building to knock it down and widen the road.
“Finally in June 2014 we moved into where we are today at level 1, 83 Victoria Street. The office is located on the corner of Peterborough Street and hopefully we’ll never have to move again.”
