URBAN HOMES MADELINE NUTRITION

Urban Homes Pukekura Show Home’s modern comfort set in a rustic country style caught the judges’ eye in the recent Waikato Registered Master Builders House of the Year Awards, winning the GIB Show Home Category. It is now one of the Registered Master Builders Top 100 homes and in the running for the National House of the Year Awards, being held as we go to print. Urban Homes took out five awards—four at the Waikato awards and one for their show home in Whitianga at the Auckland/Northland and Coromandel awards. These add to a list of previous awards including the prestigious Craftsmanship Award in 2019. Daniel Klinkenberg, founder and owner of Urban Homes, is committed to building homes with integrity and believes the success of the company has been staying true to Urban’s values. “We have been fortunate to experience significant growth over the past seventeen years and know this couldn’t have been achieved without our clients entrusting us to build their homes. These awards are theirs as much as they are ours,” he says.

Fin says, “As a rule I’m not a smoothie person, nor do I drink iced teas; however, I have to admit, that a loaded iced tea from Locals Nutrition studio in Masterton was enough to convert me. On my next trip, I introduced one of my cynical construction mates and even he was sold.”

Madeline Nutrition Studio, Fin admits, is a chance to diversify the business that has been hit by Covid, plus introduce the health benefits of the loaded teas and shakes, which he believes will appeal to a wide range of people, from gym goers for post recovery, those wanting to lose weight, get a boost to their day or improve concentration. Madeline Nutrition will initially be available from Made To Order Café, where they will be aligning the cabinet selections to complement a range of nutritional salads.
