Having some of the largest teams in the Taranaki & Manawatū regions means that we can get the job done quickly and minimise any inconveniences.
Located in the lower North Island, the Whanganui – Manawatū region is named after its two main rivers. The Whanganui to the north and west is the country’s longest navigable river. The Manawatū in the south east creates a large fertile plain and runs through the largest city, Palmerston North which has a population of around 80,000 people.
The Taranaki lies on the North Island’s west coast. Its only city is New Plymouth, with a population of around 74,000 people.
Covering all things maintenance and operations, Programmed has many customers in these regions. Some of their iconic projects include Tegel Foods, AgResearch Grasslands, Palmerston North City Council, MidCentral DHB – Palmerston North Hospital, Palmerston North Girls High School and the New Zealand Defence including Waiouru Military Camp and Linton Military Camp.
Programmed also has in excess of more than 5000 locations/assets and buildings across the North and South Islands which they look after. These include but are not limited to Kiwi Rail, Chorus, Ministry of Education and Te Ahuru Mowai sites across the country.
