Bruce Spurdle First National has refreshed its branding as it takes a fresh focus on customer service. Bruce Spurdle said the First National network had changed a great deal in its 26-year history, growing from 30 members in 1983 to more than 450 member offi ces across New Zealand and Australia. It currently employs more than 5000 people. “The First National logo is the visual identity for our organisation. Internal feedback, an external brand review and independent consumer research revealed our brand was viewed as conservative, heavy and dated.” Roadside and offi ce signage has all been changed to the new format this week. With the home buying public getting younger and increasingly searching fi rst online, the First National Real Estate Board decided to adopt a fresher, more modern brand. First National General Manager John Stewart said First National’s rebrand had brought a welcome refocus on customers and there were major initiatives in the pipeline to endorse that approach. “The rejuventation of our brand represents an exciting time for the network. “Our strong customer service philosophy has seen us introduce and drive quality service accreditation and deliver fi rst class customer service long before it become law,” Stewart added.

It was sweet revenge for Pirongia, turning a 12-10 halftime deficit into a 10 point victory. The last time these two teams met was in 2009 season when they played off for a spot in the semi- finals. Hinuera won on that occasion and went on to win the Waikato championship. Hinuera wasted no time, with a well drilled forward pack, crossing the tryline and converting for a 7-0 lead. Pirongia quickly replied with a try to Carl Taylor, who carved up the opposition on a 40 metre run to the line.
