In this episode of Tall Stories Adam Baxter one of the Institute’s fantastic Southern Region Committee members sits down with Kyle Pol and Heath Turnbull.

Kyle is an Area Manager with CPB Contractors and has been with the company for over a decade. Heath is the Technical Director, Design and Sustainability at Preformance Building Technologies.

They discuss:

• Working overseas on large projects and lessons they brought back with them to Aotearoa.


• Technical challenges on previous projects.


• The rate of change in the industry – are we moving fast enough? How can we nurture that change?


• The positive change that’s taken place in health, safety and wellbeing – this is one way our country is leading the charge.


• How they approach leadership and mentoring the next generation.


• Finding balance while pursuing excellence – something’s got to give.

Plus, we hear about their shared experiences working together in the past – Christchurch is a small place!

When recording Tall Stories we travel around the motu to hear from our people across Aotearoa – this episode was recorded in Ōtautahi | Christchurch at Aurecon.
