FULLY QUALIFIED Presenting a professional image by Andy Bryenton
It’s a time of growth and change across the Kaipara region, with more new stores opening, it seems, every week in our local towns. Dargaville’s main street is no exception, with major upgrades underway to certain downtown landmarks, while others get a new lease of life from within. Balancing the divide between operating a thriving business and undertaking renovations is never an enterprise taken lightly. But Apparelmaster’s Dargaville location is a case in point of how it can be achieved. Throughout a nearly complete remodelling and reapportionment of space inside the Victoria Street shop — along with a new entranceway, foyer and signage — the machines kept running and the work kept rolling out to waiting vans. Ironically enough, Apparelmaster are all about helping other industries look good, so a ‘spring spruce up’ was both timely and topical. In fact, this one has been planned since the store changed hands. Shop owner Janine had a slight advantage in sourcing a top builder for the project — local Certified Builders member Grant Tregidga is part of the family! But the logistics of planning around day to day operations were the same as for any business owner contemplating a change. With a team of tradespeople who are flexible and efficient, business can continue even as a new look is achieved. The end result here is that numerous bulky and unnecessary machines have been removed, the workspace has been streamlined and the front of the store area looks fresh and new. Work was able to progress because of a careful understanding of what Apparelmaster
needed to keep their customers happy, and how those needs could fit in with a tight building, painting and rewiring schedule. As the growth of all our local towns continues to see fresh opportunities arise and new businesses pop up, builders and their associated tradespeople are likely to be busy with refits and upgrades for some time to come. It’s a sign of the times, and a wake up call to established businesses to take a look at their own presentation, considering everything from a fresh coat
Janine from Apparelmaster Dargaville knows the value of a sharp image — adding to the changing face of the town’s main street
of paint to new signage and branding. After all, a main street is made up of the sum of its parts. But when it’s infused with a little commercial pride it becomes something more.
