ACL has built is building a strong reputation as a workplace where people feel supported, respected, and encouraged to grow.
Conversations with team leaders Jane Jolly and Aaron Gairns reveal a company that places equal value on its people, its customers, and its community.
Culture is often the first thing visitors notice.
Staff speak proudly about the positive atmosphere and the strong sense of teamwork that guides the business each day.
This culture has been shaped carefully over time, with a focus on safety, quality, and development.
A major part of ACL’s success comes from earning three internationally recognised ISO standards for quality, environmental care, and health and safety.
These standards require clear procedures, strong systems, and a commitment to doing the job right.
“For customers, it means ACL consistently delivers work that meets strict global expectations and New Zealand requirements,” Aaron said.
Safety sits at the heart of the company.
ACL has held its health and safety certification for almost a decade, supported by detailed training for all team members.
Our staff learn how to operate safely at heights, in confined spaces, and with specialised equipment.
“These skills help ensure every person on site is protected and confident in the work they do.” says Aaron.
Environmental care is also a priority.
ACL runs recycling programs, reuses materials where possible, and manages waste responsibly.
The company offers sustainable product options, helping customers choose services that support a cleaner future.
These efforts strengthen ACL’s position when competing for large projects, where environmental standards are increasingly important.
For clients, the benefit is clear.
The team arrive with the right training, the right tools, and the knowledge to follow proven procedures.
When improvements are needed, ACL reviews its processes and looks for smarter, safer ways to work.
The company aims to keep moving forward, not simply repeat old methods.
Staff well-being is supported through programs such as WorkWell, which gathers feedback directly from employees.
“Even in a tight labour market, these initiatives have helped ACL keep experienced staff and attract new talent.”
New workers join a two-year Sitemates program that checks in regularly to ensure they are supported and confident.
Team members also receive access to physiotherapy, a yearly well-being grant, and help with doctor visits.
With strong values, clear pathways for growth, and a commitment to excellence, ACL continues to set a high standard for both customers and staff.
“The more engaged people are, the more they enjoy coming to work — and that shows in everything we do,”
