ACC’s new campaign shows how active recovery and staying connected to the workplace can help people recover faster and return to whānau, work and life, sooner.

Important changes to four ACC regulations have come into effect, delivering an improved and fairer experience for affected clients.
One of these changes includes 12 new additions to ACC’s Schedule 2 list of occupational diseases.

December is finally upon us and with it the usual end of year madness as we prepare to shut up shop for a couple weeks of sunshine and celebration.

As the year wraps up, we’ve been reflecting on the conversations, challenges, and wins we’ve shared with NZSDA members in 2025. Once again, it’s been a privilege to support the people behind the signs.

Before we all disappear into the madness and magic of Christmas, I wanted to stop, take a breath, and reflect on just how far we’ve come this year as an association.

After two years of active membership and integration within the NZSDA community, Julie and Blair’s hard work has paid off as they have officially been awarded Master Sign Maker accreditation.

New Zealand trade customers now have local access to the Ritetack instant grab adhesive range, with Computaleta appointed as the exclusive reseller for both Ritetack and Ritetack Xtra.

After only six years in business, and two years of membership with the NZSDA, Sign Pursuit have achieved Master Sign Maker accreditation, making them one of the youngest companies to achieve the standard.

It is easy to get caught up in the day to day production of running a busy sign shop. Many owners spend so much time inside the workshop that they rarely get the chance to explore new ideas, new tools, and new ways to improve their workflow. Expo is designed to change that. It brings the entire industry together so you can get hands on with the latest technology, talk directly with experts, and find practical solutions that strengthen your business from the inside out.
