The 2026 Green Acres National Conference & Awards
Every year, the Green Acres National Conference serves as a vital touchpoint for our support team to sharpen our tools, align our vision, and ensure we are delivering world-class backing to our franchisees across Aotearoa. This year, the energy was at an all-time high as we gathered at the Ascot Park Hotel—alongside our sister brand, Hire A Hubby—to celebrate a year of growth and honour the high-achievers leading the way in our network.
The highlight of the conference is the Green Acres National Awards, where our finalists and winners take centre stage.
Backed by the Best: Our Alliance Partners
We weren’t alone at the Ascot Park Hotel. We were joined throughout the three-day event by our incredible alliance partners: The Service Company, MTF, ANZ, Bunnings Trade, Released, Safety Work Kits, Dentsu Aotearoa, Target Insurance, One NZ, and Brand Addiction.
These partnerships are a huge part of the engine that helps our franchisees access professional-grade products, stable business financing, and the highest standards of safety equipment to run their businesses successfully. Their presence at conference reinforces the robust support system we continue to build for franchisees and customers alike.
The 2026 Green Acres Award Winners
The Awards night is a special opportunity to celebrate the core of our network: experience, community, and an unshakable commitment to service. We were thrilled to host our finalists and winners for an evening dedicated to those who have gone above and beyond.
Celebrating the Best of the Best:
Franchisee of the Year: Nu Notoa L&G (Christchurch)
Rookie of the Year: Kerry & Alarnya Ashby (L&G Northland)
Whether it’s a perfectly manicured lawn or a sparkling commercial office, these winners represent the "Gold Standard" of the Green Acres brand.
Looking Ahead
We are still buzzing from the strategy sessions and the chance to celebrate our winners. With new digital tools, refreshed marketing strategies, and the unwavering support of our alliance partners, Green Acres is well-positioned to continue innovating and delivering for our customers.
"Our mission is to ensure that while our franchisees are in business for themselves, they are never in business by themselves. The 2026 conference proved that the Green Acres support structure is stronger and more motivated than ever to help our franchisees succeed."
— Jason Hill, General Manager
