As well as signing a new three-year sponsor's agreement with the Art Deco Trust, Gemco Construction and Trades has decided to take a step back in time for the big Tremains Art Deco Festival next month.
The company has been long time associated sponsors of the event and managing director Darren Diack said this year the staff wanted to underline their support and devotion by becoming more suitably attired.
So to get in tune with the colourful era the Gemco crew from office staff through to builders, plumbers and electricians will kit up in 1930s attire during the week of the festival.
"We understand the importance the Art Deco Trust has in the community and we are fully on board with protecting the heritage of Napier and Hawke's Bay," Mr Diack said.
He described extending the sponsorship with the Art Deco Trust as "a natural step" because the company was located in Hawke's Bay and had a history of working on many heritage buildings in Napier and the region.
