Covid-19: Construction company sends out 1500 tradies

From Morning Report, 6:38 am on 22 September 2021

One of the country's long-standing commercial construction firms will have about 1500 tradies back on the tools in Auckland today, under Alert Level 3 protocols.

Naylor Love chief executive Rick Herd says he is delighted staff and sub-contractors can return to the city's building sites, which account for 30 percent of the company's projects.

He told reporter Amy Williams fewer staff can be on site at a time, which means productivity will drop between 10 and 15 percent.
