Thorne Group have won the 2021 Most Trusted Builder for Tauranga (single region) award.
Considering the Thorne Group is not a franchise and only operate locally within the Bay of Plenty, this is quite the accolade.

'To be honest, as there were so many larger companies that were nominated, we didn't think we stood a chance!” says Thorne Group director Aaron Thorne.

'We are extremely honoured that so many of our clients took the time to write in and vote and share their experiences.

'Thorne Group is a family business, and we strive to work in a way that we hope will make our kids proud of us. This means staying true to our values and doing what is ethically right.

'Holding firm to that in all facets of our business has meant we are able to maintain the highest quality standards and ensure an enjoyable client experience.”

Staying true to this philosophy also means limiting the number of building projects they undertake, in order to provide each client with the attention they deserve.

'The hardest thing is to stay no to people - particularly if they have had a bad experience in the past,” says Aaron. 'But sometimes saying no is necessary, not only to maintain our quality standards but to enable us to deliver on the promises we make.

'At all stages, particularly in relation to pricing, we will always be honest and won't hide things away. Integrity starts from the moment we first meet our client and continues long after they move in.”
