On behalf of the Taieri College Careers Department I wish to endorse and support the Propower team. Kristy approached the school to offer her support with helping students transition into work, and has worked closely with the school since 2013. Kristy has always been wonderful at giving our students work experience opportunities through our Gateway Programme. They enjoy their time at Propower and many have received apprenticeship postitions.

In a competitive and demanding market, Propower has clearly demonstrated values are what is important to the success of a business not just profit margins. A business built on values and integrity stand the test of time and survive the troughs and peaks all businesses experience during their lifetime.
These values are most transparent and best observed in their staff. I have used Propower in the past for all my electrical needs and found their staff always, courteous, professional and honest. Integrity comes from the top and filters down and is experienced at the customer level.

Propower go above and beyond with regard to their own staff as well. Propower have made an obvious effort to source keen young people from the local Taieri College and those that reside locally for work experience roles and electrical apprenticeships where possible. Propower make the extra effort with their employees evident in their many social functions and sporting outings. Kristy and Grant Compton have a keen focus on creating and maintaining a positive workplace culture which is a credit to them.
