On Thursday evening, Dame Cindy hosted over 250 plumbers, gasfitters, drainlayers at Government House to mark 125 years of Master Plumbers.
Master Plumbers was established in 1901, and since then has provided continuous development and promotion of the plumbing trade in New Zealand. The organisation seeks to support excellence of its members through mentorship and training, and advocates for public health and safety.
This reception was a chance for those working within the trade from across the country to come together and celebrate this significant milestone.
