It’s Friday, which means it’s time for another TRIL end-of-week post! ✨

We hope you’re enjoying our weekly Friday posts as much as we are - this week, we’ve got a bit of everything…

🌱 New arrivals! More smiling faces have landed in New Zealand and are ready to begin their next chapter and farming adventures. We wish them all the very best and hope their transition into New Zealand goes smoothly.

🛒 Going the extra mile! Ben was spotted with a client getting ready for his dad’s arrival next weekend, making sure everything was sorted and ready for the big family reunion. His dad will be joining him here in New Zealand as a Parent Boost Visa recipient! 🎉

Sometimes what we do is about so much more than paperwork. It’s about helping families reunite, settle in and start their next chapter together. ❤️

After tackling the TCS New York City Marathon, our Director Patricia is taking on the TCS Sydney Marathon this weekend! We’ll be cheering her on from NZ. 🇦🇺💪🇳🇿

And finally, Daffodil Day! We’re proud to wear yellow and support the Cancer Society New Zealand and everyone affected by cancer. We see you, we’re thinking of you, and we’re sending our love. 💛

And yes… one team was a little short on yellow, so AI had to step in! 😂💛

Happy Friday from all of us at The Regions! ✨

While our farmers are busy counting calves, we’ve been busy counting arrivals!

This week, we welcomed a few more arrivals to New Zealand, deploying from the Philippines and Saudi Arabia and ready to make New Zealand their next adventure.

We know this is one of the busiest times of the year for farming. That’s why we’re here to help make the process as smooth as possible.

Behind the scenes, there’s a lot happening - visa lodgments, meticulous flight itineraries, airport pickups and making sure our candidates get safely to their new farms and meet their new employers. Basically, you could say we’re a one-stop shop that wears a lot of different hats.

And honestly? We love seeing how it all comes together. A farm owner gets another set of hands ready to get stuck in, while our newest arrivals get the opportunity to learn, grow and experience dairy farming in New Zealand. 🐄🇳🇿

To our newest arrivals, welcome to New Zealand! We wish you all the best as you settle in, get stuck into farm life and start this exciting new chapter. 💙

We’re pretty sure we know our way around the Auckland, Christchurch and Invercargill airports by now! ✈️

Another week, another bunch of smiling faces safely arriving in New Zealand and making their way to farms across the country.

But with calving season well and truly underway, we know our farmers are also in the thick of it! Early mornings, long days, muddy boots and plenty of newborn calves, it’s a busy time of year, and we have huge appreciation for all the farmers working hard to keep everything moving.

So, to our newest arrivals: welcome to New Zealand! We’re excited to see you settle into your new farms, and get stuck into the season ahead. And to our farmers, we see you and we appreciate you!

Another busy week, another lot of new beginnings.

📸 The photos flooding our office watercooler chat this week... 👀✈️

This week has been a busy one, with another fantastic group of harworking people arriving in New Zealand to begin their next adventure.

Every airport selfie, smiling face, and "I've made it!" photo is a reminder of why we love what we do. From visa approval to touchdown, it's an incredible journey to be part of.

To everyone who arrived this week - welcome to New Zealand! We wish you all the very best as you settle in and start this exciting new chapter. 💙

As July comes to a close, we'd like to give a warm welcome to our latest arrivals in New Zealand!

This month, we've had the pleasure of helping people make the move from the Philippines and Switzerland to begin the next chapter of their lives.

Every arrival represents months of planning, patience and preparation. It's exciting to finally see those plans become reality as our candidates settle into their new jobs, communities and life here in New Zealand.

To everyone who arrived this month, welcome! We wish you all the very best as you settle in and look forward to supporting you throughout your journey.

Thank you for trusting The Regions Immigration Law & Recruitment to be part of such an important milestone. 💙

Despite the snow and freezing temperatures, they're out making sure our newest arrivals receive the warmest possible welcome.

Please join us in welcoming Geraldine and Keith, who have arrived safely and are heading to meet their new employers today. We wish you both every success as you begin this exciting new chapter in New Zealand!

A big thank you to Beth, our Southland Pastoral Care Manager, for always going above and beyond for our new arrivals. Your care and support make all the difference.

We wish you both every success in your new roles and look forward to supporting you as you settle into life in New Zealand. 🇳🇿💙

It was great to be back in Otautau for our annual Farm Source BBQ!

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by throughout the day. Events like these provide a great opportunity to reconnect with clients and candidates, and to meet new faces!

Of course, the incredible venison patties were a definite highlight too! 🍔

We always appreciate the chance to get out of the office, have genuine conversations, and continue supporting the people who keep New Zealand's primary industries moving.

A big thank you to Farm Source Otautau for hosting another fantastic day. We're already looking forward to the next one!
