DStevens have contributed a $3,000 donation towards the Tairāwhiti Mayoral Relief Fund set up by the Gisborne District Council to help our local community following the impacts of Cyclone Gabrielle in February 2023.

DStevens Managing Director Peter Stevens said the devastation across the upper North Island of New Zealand had been enormous and would profoundly change some of those communities for years to come. “Tragically lives have been lost and livelihoods destroyed. Yet, what has struck me time and time again has been the response of New Zealanders – their resilience and concern for others in challenging conditions is remarkable,” said Peter.

“I want to thank our team for their dedication to assisting clients and others during the cyclone and in the aftermath. Some of our staff have been personally impacted and we’ll be doing what we can to support them.”

“The generosity we have seen from people donating their time, money, food and shelter to those in need has been incredible. Right now there are communities that need our support as they deal with overwhelming devastation to their homes, properties and businesses,” said Peter. “The road ahead is challenging, but together we will rebuild.”

We will continue to offer support where it is needed to get our community back on its feet again.
