Why We Work: Pronto Hire and Fulton Hogan Celebrate Whanau at Kids Day in Auckland
"Hey, this is why we work. You know, it’s for whānau’s.”
That’s how Sean Mackey, South Urban Contract Manager at Fulton Hogan, sums up why the crew come to work. On Friday 9th October, Fulton Hogan’s Auckland South Urban division celebrated that with a Kids Day, inviting the crew to bring their whānau to work for the afternoon (2pm to 5pm). The Pronto Hire team went along to support the day.
We’re a family-owned Auckland equipment hire company, so a Fulton Hogan Kids Day built around whānau suited us.
Fulton Hogan Kids Day in Auckland South
Kids Day was a chance for Fulton Hogan’s South Urban crew to celebrate with their families.
Kacha Vuletich, Contract Support Manager at Fulton Hogan, says it was "so good to have the families and everybody here to see what we do at work."
Sean says the best part of the day was "just seeing everybody with their families." He adds, "You see all these people working for us at Fulton Hogan and, opportunity for them to bring their family."
It's rare for kids to see where their parents spend most of their week. For a few hours, they got to see it, with a lot of ice cream on the side.
What Pronto Hire did at Fulton Hogan's Kids Day
Pronto Hire backed Fulton Hogan’s Kids Day by helping out with the BBQ, bringing balloons and supplying children’s activity books for the kids.
It was great to get out there and meet the people behind the purpose. We spent the afternoon with the Fulton Hogan crew and their whānau, and the families were the best part.
Supporting Fulton Hogan and our local community
Civil and roading crews, hire companies and the families behind them all work in the same communities. Days like this one are a good reminder that the people on the machines and in the site are doing it for their whānau.

We like being part of that. Whether it's a BBQ, a community day or a site that needs a machine on Monday morning, we like showing up for the people we work with because their “why” drives our “why”.
