Rewarding NZ’s most deserving tradie on National Tradie Day
Competition is now closed 
A national search was held to find the New Zealand tradie most deserving of a weekend away. The online competition was hosted by Mercy Ships, an international charity where Kiwi tradies maintain the hospital ship moored in West Africa, where life-saving surgeries are carried out.
“Kiwi volunteer plumbers, electricians, mechanics, engineers, and fitter-turners help keep our hospital ship, Africa Mercy, running, so we can provide free life-transforming surgeries to people in Africa,” says Mercy Ships NZ communications manager, Sharon Walls.
“Kiwis recognise the vital role of tradies, ‘ says competition judge Resident Builder Peter Wolfkamp. “Mercy Ships rely on volunteer tradies and expertise to keep the hospital ship functioning. Our tradies make a big difference to this amazing charity.”
