MESSAGE FROM SAM

Lto R: Caren Johnson Centre Manager Tauranga, Sam Kennard CEO KSS, Terry Friel Assistant Manager Tauranga NZ

We are in the process of the largest development expansion for the business in our history, with 16 new centres in the pipeline. We have also been successful in acquiring new operating centres in the last 8 months. ‘ WE HAVE ATTRACTED SOME VERY BRIGHT AND CAPABLE PEOPLE TO THESE ROLES WHICH
