Starfish Group Project Ltd

Starfish is a community focused support agency that empowers young people and their whanau to maximise their potential.

We work with young people and their families to help develop important life skills and resilience so that their future becomes positive.
We offer support and counselling for a wide range of primary mental health care needs, including emotional management, alcohol and substance abuse, and social or family difficulties.

Primo’s sponsorship of Starfish Project means more funding can be put into the actual support needed for a young person, instead of being swallowed up in running and administration costs.
So, more money getting to the front line!

We are extremely grateful for the contribution that Primo makes to the young people of Taranaki.

Surfing Taranaki

Jet Boating New Zealand – Taranaki Branch

One of the responsibilities of the Taranaki Branch of JBNZ is to manage and maintain the eastern side of lake Ratapiko for member and public use.
About a year ago we were looking for a way to keep members and the general public up to date with the lake level, usage and conditions at the lake.
As part of this, Primo wireless were approached to see if they could install a webcam overlooking the lake.

Primo kindly offered to install 2 web cams at no cost and with the images they display posed on the Primo webcams page. Sine the install the webcams have been a huge success with club members and the general public alike.

JBNZ Taranaki are incredibly appreciative of the support from Primo and the committee is currently looking at further options to recognize Primos support.

Waitara Railway Preservation Society Inc

Internet access at the station/depot provides our officers and members with instant contact with the services and people required to run our operation, that would otherwise need to be done at home bases.

Sustainable Taranaki

Provides internet to our office space.

NO 8 Squadron ATC New Plymouth

Primo have been providing internet to our Squadron free of charge for over a year now. Thanks to this, our officers have had uninterrupted contact with Cadetnet and the New Zealand Cadet forces head quarters to help plan and execute programmes for our cadets.

Cadetnet is a website accessible by our officers to provide units of training and organising trips and opportunities for our cadets. The cadets access this to apply for these opportunities.

No 48 Squadron Air Training Corps

Due to the fact that the New Zealand Cadet forces have an online portal for all our paperwork and applying to attend courses, having this sponsorship allows us to teach the cadets up-to-date information and assist cadets in any application they may require.

It allows the Cadet Unit Commander to keep in contact with Headquarters on a parade night without having to go home and spend 2-3 hours after parade night sending any required forms in on time.
This is now done at the Unit.

The Most FM

Without Primo we wouldn’t have a Breakfast Show! The sponsorship from Primo enables The Most FM to remain relevant and on-air. The Most FM is operated by the Taranaki FM Trust, a registered charitable trust, and we can only continue operating with support from the community.

The MOST FM has been a part of Taranaki culture since the early 1990s. As commercial radio has moved to a nationwide network model, Taranaki’s MOST FM has become even more local.

The MOST FM means Taranaki. We are passionate about Taranaki people, activities, businesses, produce and culture. We talk on-air with local leaders, musicians, artists, sportspeople, business people, chefs and many more every week.

The MOST means Volunteers. We have more than 50 volunteer presenters who host weekly specialist music shows over a wide range of musical styles and tastes.

The MOST FM Breakfast show is our flagship show and shows The MOST FM is connected to the Taranaki community. Every week we interview the district mayors, MP’s, sports people, musicians, artists and community groups. No Taranaki radio station interviews as many Taranaki people as we do!

New Plymouth Roller Sports Club

Primo Sponsorship has been a huge asset to our club, our skating rink, the East End Reserve visitors and session skaters over the last 12 months.

WiFi assists the club to provide regular family friendly skate sessions and develop skate sports as an active member of the Taranaki Community.

We are involved with Good Sports focusing on leisure and fun activities through sport and the venue is available through school hours for activities. Having a WiFi hotspot sponsored by Primo provides visitors to the reserve an incentive to participate in outdoor and indoor activity.

We are also assisting Primo with a presence at East End which has become a very popular site to visit adjacent to the walkway, skatepark and outside cafe.

New Plymouth Yacht Club

The New Plymouth Yacht Club relies on good internet from Primo to run our results program, this is vital every weekend and during major regattas that the club runs.
