WML Long Service Awards 2025

Our people: Powering quality, safety, and sustainable growth

At a packed Smokin’ Goose in Whakatāne, we recognised team members marking 15, 20, and 25 years with WML. Joined by managers, colleagues, and loved ones, our long‑service recipients were celebrated for the consistency and care they bring to WML every day.

Our people are an integral part of our success. The knowledge they share, the pride they take in their work, and the way they support one another is what set WML apart. These milestones reflect a culture built on reliability, quality, and sustainability.

Our people are our difference, thank you for your dedication.
