My 2025 Prospa Local Business Hero nomination

Hillie from North Dunedin

I would like to nominate OVTS - Otago Vacuum Tank Services. They always provide their best service and have the best smiles on their faces when they do their job. The west Harbour community is so grateful on how they are giving a helping hand - they go out of their way to help. The most outstanding part was when we had last year the landslides in West Harbour and OVTS jumped straight into action to provide the community with fresh water and supplied fresh bottled water to the Kindy in Port Chalmers - so Kindy had one less thing to worry about when they started operating again and a boil your water notice was in place. They have also helped the Rugby Club for Harbour Hawks with some new post "cushions" and gave the club house a good clean - no one asked for it but they did it as they know how important Rugby is for the West Harbour Community. Another outstanding OVTS has done was a Water day in Aramoana: They put on an afternoon of a massive water festival for kids mid march (and even for the parents): slip and slide, water guns, water canon, paddling pools for the smaller kids (and the not to smaller kids) - it was a blast for everyone. OVTS - Tim and Courtney Giddens just do it without asking anything in return , they bring the community together while raising their two boys - nothing is too big or small for them, they are there to help and bring smiles on everyone's faces
