Supporting Soia's whanau

We are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of our valued teammate, Soia Leala. Soia was a key part of our Christchurch based team and will always be remembered for his wide, infectious smile that made everyone feel at ease.

A gentle giant, the Christchurch team aptly nicknamed Soia “Hercules.” Soia was passionate about helping people and extremely proud to be working in a role where he was part of making a difference to the lives of others.

Not afraid of going above and beyond the call of duty for our customers, we regularly received wonderful feedback about his kindness and compassion. Soia lived and breathed our company values, and his generosity and commitment are missed.

Our thoughts are with Soia’s wife Wilma and their three children, whom he worked so hard for. Kia Kaha and know we are here for you.

While at a company level we are wrapping support around Soia’s whanau, many of our people have expressed a desire to help too. So we’ve created this page to give those who wish to support Soia’s family the opportunity to do so.

All proceeds raised will go directly to Wilma and the family.

Rest easy Hercules.
