WanakaApp: Hāwea man wins Young Landscaper of the Year
A Lake Hāwea landscaper has won New Zealand Young Landscaper of the Year.
Tama Ritter, operations manager for Queenstown landscaping company Southern Landmarx, collected his award at the Landscapes of Distinction Awards in Christchurch over the weekend.
Southern Landmarx directors Jaye and Joe Nutting paid tribute to the “hard work and determination” Tama showed in winning the national title.
“We’re all extremely proud of him after he came to us seven years ago knowing nothing about landscaping, but he’s worked his way up from an apprentice to the top,” Jaye said.
