Employer Recognition
The Paraparaumu Volunteers would not be able to provide a
service to the community without the support and generosity of members employers.
Though a large portion of our call-outs are at nights, emergencies are
not dictated by normal working hours and some calls are during work hours. A number of our employers allow their staff
to attend day-time calls and we wish to acknowledge their contribution by way
of this website, as part of our overall Employer Recognition Programme. A
special thank you to all our employers and while we do not endorse any products
or services of the businesses, we are highly appreciative of the support they
give us and hope you may consider contacting them if ever in need of services
they may provide.
We also acknowledge employers who may not be
in a position to allow time off at no notice but may contribute to the safety
of their community through granting time off for training or public relations,
or by making financial donations to the brigade, or simply by letting someone
come in to work a little late to allow them some extra rest after a mid-night
call!
