Saint Clean specializes in trauma, biohazard and crime scene cleaning, providing discreet, professional and compassionate services to families, businesses, property managers and emergency response professionals.

Founded by Monique, Saint Clean was built on one simple belief: every person deserves to be treated with dignity, respect and compassion, especially during life’s most difficult moments.

Whether responding to a traumatic event, restoring a methamphetamine-contaminated property, or cleaning a home affected by hoarding or hazardous materials, the team approaches every job with professionalism, empathy and complete confidentiality. They understand that behind every call is a person, a family or a community facing an incredibly sensitive situation, and they never lose sight of the human side of their work.

Integrity is the cornerstone of Saint Clean. The trust placed in the team is something they value deeply, and every project is carried out with the highest ethical standards, absolute discretion and meticulous attention to detail. Clients can have confidence knowing their property, privacy and wellbeing are always respected.

With specialist training, advanced equipment and strict industry protocols, Saint Clean safely restores affected properties to a clean, safe and habitable condition. More importantly, they provide reassurance during a time when it is needed most.

“This isn’t just about cleaning a property, it’s about helping people through one of the most difficult times in their lives. Every call we receive is a privilege, and every person we help deserves compassion, respect and complete confidentiality. That’s a responsibility we never take lightly.”

Monique, owner operator  

Unlike many larger companies, every client deals directly with owner Monique. From the initial phone call through to the completion of the job, she provides clear communication, honest advice and genuine support, ensuring each client feels heard, understood and cared for throughout the process.

At Saint Clean, the goal is simple: to restore more than just a space. They restore safety, dignity, peace of mind and the confidence to move forward.

For more than 122 years, Ice Cream Charlie has been delighting generations of Cantabrians with the iconic Vanilla Ices that have become part of Christchurch’s history.

What began in 1903 with Charlie selling ice cream from a cart on the streets of Christchurch, making every batch by hand behind his own home, has grown into one of New Zealand’s longest-standing family traditions. As demand grew, the business expanded into a larger factory, but one thing never changed: the original recipe that made Ice Cream Charlie famous.

Today, Sarah and Gareth Eddy are proudly at the helm of this much-loved Christchurch institution. As the newest custodians of the iconic brand, they understand they are not simply running an ice cream business. They are preserving a cherished piece of local history. While carefully guiding Ice Cream Charlie into its next chapter, Gareth and Sarah remain committed to protecting the traditions that generations of Cantabrians know and love, ensuring every customer enjoys the same famous vanilla ice cream made using the original recipe and time-honoured methods.

Today, every batch is produced at Ice Cream Charlie’s small purpose-built factory in Kaiapoi using the original recipe and every batch of Ice Cream Charlie still takes three days to make. The famous vanilla ices are crafted just as they were generations ago, creating the distinctive texture and flavour that has become synonymous with the brand. It’s a nostalgic treat that stands apart from ordinary supermarket ice cream, offering customers the same authentic experience they remember from childhood.

“People trust us because they know they’ll get the same Ice Cream Charlie they remember from years ago. We carry the love, the tradition, and the history of this business every single day. It’s incredibly special to see grandparents bringing their grandchildren in to share the same ice cream they enjoyed as children. Our job is to protect that legacy while creating new memories for the generations still to come.”

Sarah & Gareth – Owners 

For Sarah and Gareth, earning trust means respecting the past while embracing the future. They will continue to evolve the business, but some things will never change: the original vanilla ice cream recipe, the famous raspberry syrup, and the other traditional flavours and toppings that generations of Cantabrians have come to know and love.

That commitment to consistency is what has earned the trust of generations. Many customers visit every week, while others make Ice Cream Charlie their very first stop whenever they return to Christchurch. Some even travel for hours simply to enjoy the taste they’ve loved since childhood.

What began as a simple initiative removing bark from playgrounds and schools has grown into a purpose-driven business focused on sustainability, innovation, and community impact.

With strong roots in farming, the founding family brought a deep respect for the land and a practical mindset to the business, helping shape Goodwood into what it is today. From the early days, the mission was clear: keep wood waste out of landfills and put it to better use. With a truck collecting untreated timber, Goodwood began transforming discarded materials into premium, value-added, recycled products.

Today, Goodwood reclaims untreated wood waste and repurposes it into high-quality, sustainable solutions including certified playground surfacing (Goodfall), animal bedding, landscape mulch, and recycled pallets. These products support schools, councils, farms, and businesses across the Bay of Plenty, Waikato, and Central North Island, delivering safe, practical, and environmentally responsible outcomes.

“Goodwood is a feel-good company. The world we live in is best when it’s looked after by all of us. If we look after the land, the land looks after us. We believe in doing the right thing.”

 Richard Hutchinson | CEO Goodwood Ltd.

At its core, Goodwood is driven by a commitment to protecting the environment for future generations. By recycling timber and giving it a second life, the company plays an active role in building a cleaner, more circular future.

Because at Goodwood, doing good with wood isn’t just a slogan, it’s what they stand for, every single day.

Based in Christchurch, Local Plumbing and Gas believes that good people will make a good company and doing right by our people and our customers is the core of their beliefs.
