From Land To Sea with John Batty, Construction & Infrastructure with Landholdings Ltd The Kia Orana Podcast

- Leisure
Kia Orana Everyone,
I appreciate John Batty joining us on the Kia Orana Podcast to discuss a subject that I dont know a lot about, Construction/Infrastructure and what that looks like In Rarotonga, Cook Islands today.
John’s professional title is Bid Manager - Project Manager for Landholdings Ltd.
To our listeners outside of the Cook Islands who might not know, Landholdings Ltd would be one of our largest Construction companies in the Cooks.
Listen in as John Batty takes us back to his 4 years of training & apprenticeship days in New Zealand when he was 16 years old, earning .45 cents an hour (50 years ago). Then he brings us along his life journey to how his family eventually integrated into life here in Rarotonga.
For our young local listeners John lets you know how tradespeople can get into this trade in the Cook Islands.
The reason for the title from Land to Sea, John also invests a lot of his volunteer time to our Rarotonga Sailing Club and youth progression of skills to sail on our waters.
Kia Orana, May you live long
Aere Ra, Farewell
Kia Manuia, Good Luck and Good Health
