Neighbourly Good Sort: Kieran Houssenloge
Petone Engineering employee Kieran Houssenloge was recently recognised as New Zealand’s highest achieving young person in the structural steel industry.
Steel Construction NZ’s (SCNZ’s) Young Achiever of the Year award celebrates those whose skills, drive and willingness to learn has helped them to achieve outstanding outcomes.
It recognises well-rounded people who demonstrate not only talent, but display traits important to the industry – commitment, innovation and agility.
Kieran credits a good attitude, professional approach and old-fashioned hard work for his success. The Production Manager and Workshop Supervisor says he comes from a hard-working family, and his upbringing instilled a good work ethic in him.
“If you didn’t do the mahi you weren’t the favourite for the week,” says Kieran.
One of Kieran's early challenges was successfully managing the fabrication of 30 K-frames that Petone Engineering made for the Chinese Embassy in Wellington.
Kieran says he’s honoured to be recognised for what he’s achieved and hopes that he can inspire others to set goals to strive for.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
