Familiar flooring Underfoot for 30 years

You know them, they’re familiar.

They’ve been with you for a while now – in your home, your friend’s home, your office, school or hospital. Gerrand Floorings has been underfoot for more than 30 years.

Gerrand Floorings’ Leanne Rich says they’re the leading flooring specialists in the Bay of Plenty – and their success hasn’t gone unnoticed.

“Yes we’re celebrating 30 years, yes we’re local and we’re locally owned and operated so we’re an independent, but more than that we’re leaders in the industry in the Bay in that we’ve won more awards than any other flooring retailer,” says Leanne.

“We’re pretty much the premium brand to come to in the Bay if you are shopping for flooring.

“We’re picked by the leaders in the industry to carry their brands, and we carry brands that other stores don’t have, together under one roof,” says Leanne.

“We often find that when suppliers are looking at new products, or how products are working, they ask our team’s advice and feedback. There’s a really valuable innovative relationship.”

From success in national awards to success in the showhomes, Gerrand Floorings has won six national awards – as well as the prestige of flooring 13 homes, including the Bay of Plenty supreme winner entered in last year’s Master Builder Awards, consistent with previous years.

“We’re extremely humbled to be the preferred choice for floorcoverings of the large number of quality builders and designers in the region, possibly having the biggest builder and designer portfolio in the Bay,” says Gerrand Floorings’ Tony Rich. “We like to share and showcase this

work and the quality homes and finishes on our website and in social media.”

“We have the awards as well as the service and product ranges including premium and exclusive products,” says Leanne.

“When asked why we are doing so well it’s an old cliché, but our service delivery comes through time and time again in the research we conduct and the feedback our customers and ongoing clients give us. Our team is empowered to make decisions and with Tony and I active within the daily operations of the business our team ethic is strong.”

Whether you need carpet, sisal, timber, laminate, vinyl, cork or anything in between, Gerrand Floorings can help walk you through the process.

“A full service is what we specialise in. We do everything from the initial product advice and selection through to installation and after service. We’re experts in our field so we keep abreast of trends and new innovations, ensuring you get the best options for your home.”

With a large team of both in-store and on-site consultants and their project installation teams, Gerrand Floorings has a wealth of knowledge that they are ready to share.

Their showroom in Hewletts Rd is packed to the brim with flooring options and sample swatches and it’s a great base to plan your space from bringing your ideas or other interior samples with you.

“We work with a lot of interior designers – they come to us because of our range and on hand advice. They can use us as a consult space for their clients.

Our space is their space,” says Leanne.

“So should you be utilising the services of an interior expert, we work alongside to help you pick the best flooring for your home.”

And if you’re looking at something more unique for that finishing touch in your home, Leanne says custom work is entirely possible.

For the best flooring and the best service, pop into Gerrand Floorings in Mount Maunganui.

Cuttings and chats A circle of friendship In 1947 India and Pakistan gained independence from Britain, U.S. Air Force pilot Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier, and Anne Frank’s ‘The Diary of a Young Girl’ was published.

People were watching Humphrey Bogart, Bob Hope, Dorothy Lamour, and Veronica Lake, and listening to James Baskett’s ‘Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah’ and Perry Como’s ‘Chi-Baba, Chi-Baba’.

It was also the year a group of young women began meeting in farmhouses in rural Papamoa to swap plants. Fast forward 70 years, and the Papamoa Garden Circle is still going strong.

President Alison Parsons says several early members are still around. “Our patroness Joan Gorringe is turning 99 this year. Renee McCloud has just turned 96, and Margaret McNaughton is 94. She does all her own gardening,” Alison chuckles. “Except for the heavy lifting.”

Margaret now lives in Matua, where she has “a big garden”. She’s condensing it a bit. “It’s beautiful, and I spend some time in it every day. I like to see how the plants are doing. It’s my exercise and my therapy.

I’ve been here for 28 years, so it’s had time to get established.”

Margaret was a ‘late-comer’ to the Papamoa club.

“I’ve been a member for 63 years. We farmed out there – Papamoa was all farms in those days. It was a different community altogether.”

Founded after World War 2, the club was a great opportunity for isolated people to get together.

“There was only one phone line between eight or 10 houses, so we’d meet in each other’s homes. It

was how you got to know the community, and your neighbours, better.”

Local travel was long-haul. “We’d come in to Tauranga by train. It was 17 miles [27km] to get to the Mount from Tauranga. The trains were a big thing then.” The intrepid travellers mingled with the stockyards, and the manure deliveries.

“Papamoa was all metal roads, and the main road was a track through the swamp.”

Today the club boasts more than 80 members (including “three or four” men). Alison says they get together once a month at the Papamoa Sports & Recreation Centre to exchange cuttings, chats, and clever gardening tips. “We have several different categories of competitions, judged by one of the members. Participants gather points throughout the year, which culminates in a major prize-giving, and we have some great guest speakers.”

Friendship is key to the group, and some of those

friendships have lasted decades. Alison moved to Papamoa in 1994, and says she wouldn’t have met many people if she hadn’t joined the Garden Circle. “I can walk down the road now, and see two or three people I know, and stop for a chat.”

To join the Papamoa Garden Circle, and be a part of the 70th anniversary events later this year, phone Alison on 572 3601, or Graeme Wilson on 574 2392.

Paula’s passion The woman behind Western Bay Museum She’s been the face of a museum in Katikati for four years. One of the most controversial council legacies of the Western Bay of Plenty. The hardest time of her life.

But Paula Gaelic’s purpose stands strong in front of her toughest critics. Western Bay Museum – the Bay’s first regional museum – is open in the revamped former fire brigade building on Main St, Katikati.

And she offers no apologies for starting a new era in showing our relics of the past.

“I don’t look at this as another chance – we are not Katikati Heritage Museum. We are Western Bay Museum, representing our entire region. A completely new identity with a new way, new vision and following a new strategic path.”

Where did this woman come from? “I was raised in the Hora Hora district, which fostered diversity,

“I’m proud of what we’ve all done, against all odds – this is just the beginning”

adaptability, resilience and the power of true community spirit,” says Paula.

“My parents loved family, life and encouraged us to have ambitions, to face challenges, work hard and complete the task, to laugh, love and treat others how we wished to be treated.”

Paula moved to Tauranga after meeting future husband Merv. She’d worked for Rothmans of Pall Mall NZ Ltd, Bendon Industries NZ Ltd, Temptations Lingerie, and Merv and her were NZ’s first commercial Pekin duck farmers.

“Out of the blue I was approached by Katikati Museum Trust to see if I’d manage the museum. I was unsure,” admits Paula.

“But I had nothing to lose. “It was a collection owned by the community with a substantial mortgage, without council funding or museumqualified personnel. And I had no knowledge of the museum’s history or how the community actually thought or felt about it.”

Soon she realised “there was no way anything could be achieved without massive changes to every aspect of the museum’s operation.”

She gained support from Auckland War Memorial Museum director Roy Clare. And one visit from Te Papa advisor Sally August, Paula knew she was never going to reach real museum standards.

“Then there was the lack of support from our council. Luckily, councillor Mike Williams became museum trust chair.

“We worked tirelessly to try and make changes but we could never have made it work.”

On May 14, 2014, Katikati Heritage Museum closed. “It’s the best thing that could have happened

“Out of the blue I was approached by Katikati Museum Trust to see if I’d manage the museum. I was unsure,” admits Paula.

“But I had nothing to lose”

to the collection,” says Paula.

Building Western Bay Museum began, partial funding was secured from WBOPDC; the collection was rationalised and registered.

But nothing prepared Paula for the high profile.

“Sadly, it does get personal. Everything about the museum is political and museums shouldn’t be portrayed this way.”

So she got “pro-active not reactive!” Why? “It’s a responsibility to nourish commemoration and preserve history for future generations – when you handle old items you can’t help but feel that sense of responsibility, particularly World War 1 items.

“What those men and women did for us to have what we have today – how can you not preserve this?

“And we not only claim to be the only planned Northern Irish settlement in the world, The Lady Jocelyn was the first largest ship to enter Port of Tauranga carrying Katikati and Te Puke settlers.”

Paula says her main support came from Merv. “The museum absorbed my life for four years, many weeks I’ve done 80 hours – because I had to deliver.”

Her 70 volunteers also got her through. “We have an unbelievable team spirit; we’ve faced some bad times but we always manage to have a laugh along the way.”

In time off she retreats to her home, garden, husband, family, friends – and study. “I’m completing a National Certificate in Museum Practice.”

The museum’s first exhibition is ‘Fun and Games’.

“To provoke the desire to revisit we’ll change exhibitions four times a year. The next is Summer Harvest, opening December 16.”

Paula says the sponsors jumping on-board is an

endorsement from local businesses and organisations.

And the end goal? “Western Bay Museum to be the best small museum in NZ. To have, via grants, a paid collections registrar, public programmes and exhibitions manager. To apply for Te Papa exhibitions to enhance our themes and visitor satisfaction. And to be as self-sufficient as possible.”

Would Paula change her journey? “No, I’m proud of what we’ve all done, against all odds – this is just the beginning. We just need time, commitment and the Merle Foster determination to succeed.”
