💚 Farewell Will! 💚
Today is a bittersweet one for us at Toitū Pōneke as we say goodbye to our Functions and Venue Coordinator, Will Sargent.
Will was presented with an exciting opportunity that was simply too good to pass up, and while we are genuinely sad to see him go, we are also incredibly excited for him and what comes next.
During his time with us, Will has made a real impact on Toitū Pōneke and thehub.
Anyone who knows our place knows that no two days are ever the same. Will has been right in the middle of it all, looking after our clubs, hirers and visitors, helping with events and functions, solving problems, jumping in wherever he was needed and dealing with all the weird and wonderful things that come with running a busy community and sports centre.
But more importantly, Will has built relationships.
He has become a familiar face to so many of the people who walk through our doors, and his willingness to help, have a chat, find a solution or simply get stuck in has made a difference to our team and our wider Toitū Pōneke community.
Behind the scenes, he has also been someone we could rely on. He has taken on challenges, learned a huge amount, helped us through some incredibly busy periods and played an important part in the growth and changes we have made at thehub.
We are incredibly proud of what Will has achieved during his time here, and Toitū Pōneke is a better place for the contribution he has made.
Will, thank you for the hard work, the laughs, the support, the problem solving and everything in between. Your contribution has been genuinely valued, and you leave some pretty big shoes to fill. 💚
Sometimes an opportunity comes along that you simply have to grab, and we are so pleased to see Will taking that opportunity and moving on to his next adventure.
From all of us at Toitū Pōneke Community & Sports Centre, we wish you nothing but the very best.
You’ll always be part of thehub whānau.
Ngā mihi nui, Will — and don’t be a stranger! 💚👏
