KCE renews sponsorship of Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter and the Grassroots Trust Rescue Helicopter

The Philips Search and Rescue Trust rescue helicopters provide a vital service to the communities they serve, and we are pleased to announce that KCE will continue our long-standing commitment to supporting the Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter, now marking over 10 years of partnership, as well as our ongoing support for the Grassroots Trust Rescue Helicopter.

Our sponsorship of these two helicopters covers all five of our hydropower scheme areas, and having supported the Waikato Westpac Rescue Helicopter since 2013, we’re proud of the positive impact we have helped enable across the Waikato, King Country, Horowhenua and Manawatu regions. We look forward to continuing this impact through our continued support of both services.

Our values at KCE are closely aligned with those of the Philips Search and Rescue Trust, making this partnership a natural fit, as we share a commitment to providing local communities with essential services that enhance their health and wellbeing.

We remain dedicated to supporting the rescue helicopters by raising awareness of their work and playing a part in keeping them in the air 24/7, 365 days a year.
