As well as picking up the industry’s Stage 3 award, Rod was named the overall winner at a recent ceremony in Christchurch.

He received his trophies from Simon Power, the Minister of Commerce, Justice and State Owned Enterprises, and Greg Durkin, the NZFITO chief executive.

Mr Power commended Rod and his employer Justin Bell (1980-82), from Justin Bell Flooring, for their commitment to excellence in training.

The Minister highlighted his belief that industry training will play a vital part in New Zealand pulling out of the current recession.
