NEW TO NAPIER
For younger families, Napier and the wider Hawkes Bay region does much
of the sell-job for the company.
While the real-estate market is in a strong growth phase, those
priced-out of big cities like Auckland and Sydney find Hawkes Bay
housing still afordable for career-orientated, first-home buyers.
Napier’s famous marine parade is a standard-setting haven for
families, with modern playgrounds and skateboard parks providing a safe
and engaging environment.
Spend time with the team and it’s soon apparent how important family
is to the company’s culture. Allowances are made when required, new
additions celebrated.SUCCEEDING AT DICKEY
In Dickey’s experience, the most successful team members are those
who can apply intellect and skill-set to tasks wider than the individual’s
primary responsibilities.
“We’re building custom boats here,” he says. “Practical solutions to
creative challenges are a daily requirement. We value those people who
shine in such circumstances.”
Pride is essential. Every team member knows what is expected and
the encouragement to perform comes from your colleagues as much as
it does the management.
The pride is contagious and afects everyone who encounters the
business, even the boat owners.
In Dickey’s words, “the customer experience anchors everything we
do – from concept and design, to build, finish, delivery and ongoing service.
“The client is a very visible part of the process, a member of the family
for long after a boat leaves the yard.”
It’s key to the company’s value proposition. Dickey Boats needs
people who understand how to include the client’s perspective in their
day-to-day work life.“The pride is contagious
and aects everyone who
encounters the business,
even the boat owners.”
