🏎️✨🏁 F1 Singapore Grand Prix Experience

Earlier this month, PlaceMakers' Plus Points programme took a group of around 130 valued clients to the spectacular F1 Singapore Grand Prix, where we had a group from Blenheim attend also.

Branch operator Gene hosted our clients in Singapore, where the energy and excitement began from the moment everyone arrived. From welcome drinks at the iconic SKAI Bar on the 70th floor of the Swissôtel The Stamford, to relaxing afternoons at the beach clubs of Sentosa Island, the trip showcased the very best that Singapore has to offer.

Guests immersed themselves in the city's incredible food, culture, and world-famous attractions before taking in the thrill of Formula 1's premier night race. The experience was complemented by world-class hospitality and an outstanding entertainment lineup, with performances from global artists including James Arthur, Lana Del Rey, The Killers and NZ’s very own Split Enz.

The feedback from all attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with clients describing the trip as a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It was a fantastic opportunity to thank our valued customers for their ongoing partnership and support.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us from Blenheim and across NZ, to help make the trip such a success. We look forward to creating many more unforgettable experiences together.

One week ago PlaceMakers Blenheim officially become a standalone branch once again after five years as a hub with the team in Nelson/Motueka.

This marks an important milestone and the first major step on an exciting journey toward becoming locally owned and operated once more. Being closer to our customers, our community, and the people who make Marlborough and Kaikoura great puts us in a strong position for the future. We will still have close ties with the branches on the other side of the hill, meaning we can tap into their resource when needed.
We're incredibly excited about what lies ahead and look forward to continuing to support our customers with the same great service, local knowledge, and commitment they've come to expect from the PlaceMakers team.

Here's to a new chapter for PlaceMakers Blenheim!
