 Prospace wins Telecom Wellington headquarters joinery tender

Experience and proven ability to deliver large scale commercial projects has resulted in Prospace being appointed the joinery supply and fit contract for this high profile development ‘Willis Central’ located in Central Wellington.

At Prospace we are progressively looking at ways to incorporate environmental improvements to the Design Build Manage process.

We are particularly excited to be associated with the Willis Central project because of its status as a 5-star Green Star project. This environmentally focused project incorporates the latest international environmental and sustainable design features. Working on projects with this environmentally considerate approach and alongside major construction company Hawkins Construction can only have a positive effect for future Prospace projects.

 BC Melbourne Crown Casino

"BC by Beachculture"

The recently completed new "BC by Beachculture" concept store at Melbourne Crown Casino represents a fresh direction for Beachculture.

Working closely with the team at Beachculture, Prospace developed a complete new BC aesthetic aimed at a more refined and mature Beachculture customer. The "BC shopper" has grown up with "coastal cool" shopping at traditional Beachculture stores and has now developed into an individual with diverse interests including art, music, the beach lifestyle and of course creating their own independent urban look.  The store features commissioned Art work from local Australian artists,  vintage display cases and visual merchandising as well as Deus Ex Machina racer bikes for sale!

Core to the design concept was the urban big city apartment that the hypothetical "BC shopper" would either live or dream of living!  The changing rooms feature full height applied graphic scene of the Melbourne skyline... like stepping out onto the balcony.

    Prospace Billy Webb Centennial Challenge

Prospace was proud to be involved with this amazing event held in Wanganui, New Zealand on the 5th-7th December 2008. George Russell and Andrew Ritchie, Directors of Prospace were delighted to be able to give something back to the local Wanganui community to celebrate almost 20 years in business. The event was particularly special for George Russell, an experienced and passionate oarsman who fulfilled an ambition to row with two of the finest Olympic athletes in recent history.

Celebrating 100 years since Wanganui's favourite son, Billy Webb won the rowing World championship, Norwegian Olaf Tufte, Double Olympic Gold medalist, accepted the challenge to a rematch against Mahe Drysdale who famously picked up a single sculls bronze medal behind Tufte in Beijing.

It is estimated that 20,000 lined the banks of the Whanganui river, as Tufte, Drysdale and Olympic rower Hamish Bond - who won a wild card race to earn his place in the race, fought for the hearts of Wanganui and the $5,000 prize.

Tufte defended his title with finesse, holding a lengths lead from Drysdale, with Bond unable to keep to the pace of the leading two.

'He went out of the blocks like it was a 2000 metre race,' Drysdale said afterwards of Tufte. 'You know in racing like this that you really don't want to get behind and I was pretty much behind from the very start.'

With the finish in sight, Tufte battled with Drysdale to lead by 3 lengths going into the final corner and under the final bridge. Despite Drysdale's legendary 'big push.' Tufte crossed the finish line the victor of the sculling titans and claimed the ornate glass waka trophy and the $5000 prize money.

The Prospace Team were out in force to support their heroes, lining the banks of the Whanganui River and shouting for their favourite sculler. Earlier in the week, Mahe and Olaf met the Prospace Team at our factory and gave an insight into their careers, their unique friendship and rowing stories, signing autographs and smiling for many photos!

Mahe and Olaf were a sponsors dream – You are welcome back to Prospace any time!!
