that's a wrap

Last Week

We celebrated our 20th anniversary and shared an update on our newly appointed, Auckland-based Business Development Manager. If you missed it, you can catch up here AFAM 20th Birthday.

This Week

This edition wraps up our 2025 newsletter series. Don’t worry—we’ll be back with regular updates after the summer break. Before we sign off, we have a few updates to share and a couple of questions for you.

AFAM Office Hours Over Christmas

We’re open for business as usual until close of business on 24 December.

Our office will remain open throughout the holiday period, with a skeleton team in place from 24 December to 5 January.

As always, we have staff on call 24/7 for urgent matters. If your question is about fire alarm monitoring, we’ve got you covered. If it’s about how long to defrost a turkey, we may not be the right people to ask.

Auckland Office Update

The fit-out of our Auckland office will take place during the week commencing 12 January.

Our new Business Development Manager will spend some time in Christchurch before being permanently based in Auckland from 26 January.

Thank You and Merry Christmas

On behalf of everyone at AFAM, thank you for your support throughout the year. We hope you’re able to take a well-earned break and enjoy some quality time with friends and family over the holiday period.

Looking Ahead to 2026

We’ve enjoyed bringing these newsletters to you and hope you’ve found them valuable. We have plenty planned for 2026 and will continue to use these updates to keep you informed.

We’d love your feedback:

• Is there anything specific you’d like to see included?
• Are the newsletters too long, too short, or just right?

We’re also considering moving to a fortnightly schedule in 2026 instead of weekly. Let us know what you think.
