    The promise was made in front of Warner Construction and Taranaki Rugby staff during a visit to New Plymouth earlier this month, where he received a signed jersey.

    Then, a few days later Taranaki beat Tasman 42-29 in Nelson to win the Log o’ Wood for the eighth time.

Warner Construction helps EPro8 Challenge in schools.

The EPro8 Challenge is the inter-school science and engineering competition. Every year over 25,000 students from throughout New Zealand take part. Students participate in a series of events: firstly within their school and then inter-school.  

These events are designed to promote science, engineering and problem-solving and there has been a real change this year in terms of what the students are achieving . Warner Construction is a proud supporter of the EPro8 Challenge.
