Christchurch HQ up and running!

Good morning all.

I'm happy to say we're all safe and up and running here at Patch HQ in Christchurch! Plenty of dramas and stories being shared, lots of communities pulling together, and so much good coming out of something so disastrous!

It's interesting the small things that can change, a bus ride to work this morning and I was the only passenger - very strange - not to mention the forced detours where roads are closed off due to flooding and damage. The driver and I exchanged amused looks as he checked his map for alternative routes to take. There seems to be about half as many people around in Christchurch CBD today, and lots of buildings with fences around them saying 'no access', but there is activity going on - and the action is repair and recovery.

Yes, we're a determined bunch here in the South, and we gladly welcome your orders and work in so we can keep the wheels turning and generate continued business for our industry in this area. So if you need business cards, brochures, greeting cards for your loved ones or postcards to send to friends and business relations as well as our standard stationary products like letterheads, stickers and magnets, now is the time to get them through to us. View our full range of print and promotional products online at www.patchprint.co.nz and you can order direct from our website, or give us a call if you would like some more information or assistance in ordering - 0800 533 677 - we're here and willing to assist with any quotes or queries.

I'd like to say a special thanks to all those who have emailed, phoned and txt'd us to ensure we're all safe & sound, and we send out our thoughts out to those in the afflicted areas and hope that you are getting all the kindness and support you need in this unexpected time, this chance to pull together and show the world our indomitable Kiwi spirit.

- Crystal Mathieson.
