Team class at Reform Studio in Albany
Recently, Matvin Group won a corporate class pass to the new Reform Fitness studio in Albany.
Our team headed down to the studio at lunchtime to check out the new space and participate in the reformer class. Some of us are seasoned reformer users, some of us had a hard time getting our feet in the straps… but we all enjoyed the session and had fun while moving our bodies and refreshing our minds.
A huge thanks to Reformer Fitness instructor Lauren Croft for guiding us through the class – we’ll be back!

Mid-Project Lessons Learnt
We’re always striving to work smarter and more efficiently.
Recently, the Matvin and MAKO teams held a mid-project Lessons Learnt session off the back of such a successful construction start to the Rimu apartments. These sessions are an opportunity to come together as a wider project team to discuss what’s working well, what challenges we’re facing, and how we can more easily overcome the challenges moving forward. The session was facilitated by our industry expert and Board advisor Graham Darlow. Thank you Graham for hosting such a productive mid project lessons learnt session.
Lessons Learnt are key to the success of all our projects, especially those with multiple stages. By discussing, tracking and reflecting on our work, we move through projects with greater health and safety, quality, time and cost efficiency, and grow our knowledge and capabilities as a team.

Mid-Year One Team Meeting
Last Wednesday looked a little different from our usual Monday to Friday. The Matvin, MAKO and TDCG teams were at the BNZ Business Partners Centre for our Mid-Year One Team meeting.
The meeting is a chance for the whole group to get together and discuss progress against our goals since the One Team Annual Retreat hosted in Mount Maunganui in March. Our team set goals at each meeting, so we check-in on how each goal is tracking, who is accountable, how we are going to achieve them, and reflect on what we have achieved so far.
Our Leadership, Development, Site, and Health and Safety Managers presented project updates and talk about what’s coming up in the back half of the year. It’s also a chance to build stronger relationships across the group.

One Team: Run Club
What’s keeping our team going through the colder months? Run club!
Once a week, keen runners from Matvin, MAKO and TDCG hit the pavement before sunrise to stretch the legs and clock up the kilometres. Club members take turns choosing the route, and more importantly which coffee shop to swing by afterwards.
Any guesses on what running event our crew is training for next?

Annual Retreat
Two weeks ago, we held our annual Matvin and MAKO staff retreat on Waiheke Island for our group to come together and review the year that has passed. This is the fifth and largest retreat that we have held as a business and it provided a great chance for the team to review business processes and find new efficiencies as well as review completed developments, those that are in the pipeline and those that have commenced, to find improvements in the way we source and deliver investments as a development and construction business.
Not only did the retreat provide a chance for staff to contribute to the business review and enhancement process, but it also provided an opportunity for everyone to gather in a social setting over a couple of days.
While away, the team also enjoyed a great day out at the Waiheke Bowls Club, with a few of our MAKO Commercial team members taking out the tournament!
