QRS holds a special place in the heart of the Wairoa community, demonstrating an exceptional commitment that goes beyond expectations for major employers in smaller towns. Over the past year, QRS became an unofficial coordination hub following severe floods, showcasing their ability to mobilise resources, support civil defence efforts, and enable staff to aid their whānau during crises. Their leadership, generosity, and unwavering dedication make a tangible, positive impact on Wairoa’s whānau, rangatahi, and the wider community.
