Client Feedback

Lisa Rutherford, Relocation Project Manager at B&W Consulting, expressed her immense satisfaction with Crown’s performance:

“A big thank you to the Crown Workspace team, led by Andrew Tolua, for a job very well done on the Tauranga City Council move!

It was a big project over three weeks of non-stop move activity and the team worked so hard every day despite long hours over an extended move period. The entire team were very professional, extremely hard working and a pleasure to work with.

I truly appreciate how the team went above and beyond to make sure the job was done right, and nothing was ever too much trouble. I always know the move will go well with Andrew and Bradley in charge and can count on them, and their teams, to do a great job every time. I welcome any opportunity to work with them again in the future.“
