Reece announced as new sponsor of Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board’s nationwide CPD programme

In exciting industry news, Reece has secured the exclusive rights to sponsor the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme for plumbers, gasfitters, and drainlayers in New Zealand in association with the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board (PGDB).

The delivery of face-to-face CPD in 2025 will be via CONZTRUCT events held in 16 cities and regional locations across the country between June and November. Practitioners located in regions where events are not held will have the opportunity to attend a PGDB run CPD presentation or complete their CPD requirements online. Reece, a leading distributor of plumbing, waterworks, and HVAC-R products to commercial and residential customers, has 30 plumbing branches in New Zealand.

Reece Operations Leader, Paul Robbins, is thrilled about Reece’s new alliance with the PGDB. “Our commitment to the New Zealand market has always been strong, and we are very excited to be partnering with PGDB to deliver their 2025 CPD programme. With over 18 years supporting the plumbing industry in New Zealand, we know how vital education is.”

Ian Watt, General Manager from the event organiser, The CMS Group, is also pleased to be in a position to further support the plumbing sector in 2025. “We already enjoy strong relationships with the plumbing sector and Reece, and it’s great to be collaborating on this important programme. CONZTRUCT is New Zealand’s largest travelling trade show for the construction industry, so it makes perfect sense to wrap the CPD programme into the events.”

PGDB Chief Executive Aleyna Hall expressed enthusiasm about Reece joining as the CPD sponsor, aligning CPD with the popular CONZTRUCT shows. “We’re delighted to collaborate with Reece, a highly respected plumbing and bathroom brand in New Zealand and Australia. CONZTRUCT provides an excellent platform to host these CPD roadshows, reaching practitioners in a practical and engaging way. Together, we’re excited to plan for 2025 and deliver a dynamic CPD programme.”

The PGDB CPD training will take place at all CONZTRUCT events in 2025. Visit the event website for further information. Bookings for CPD courses will open from April 2025.
