Some good news to finish the week! 🧡

After a pretty intense few days for our development team, we're pleased to confirm that both Turboweb platforms have now been patched against the currently known PHP security vulnerabilities.

While that's a big step forward, we're not quite out of the woods. Further vulnerabilities may still be identified, so we'll continue monitoring the situation closely.

We're still asking clients to remain vigilant and let us know immediately if anything unusual happens with their website.

A big thank you for your patience while our team has worked through this.

The addition brings AKV's network to 15 community-hosted monitors across Dunedin, providing residents with more information about how air quality varies between different parts of the city. A new area to monitor South Dunedin was a natural next step for the network. The area sits close to the ocean

A bit of a bittersweet one for the Turboweb team 🧡
Tomorrow we say farewell to Bob Brown who has been a big part of Turboweb and our story over the years.

We’ve shared a few words about Bob on our website, along with a bunch of photos we dug out of the Turboweb archives. There are some absolute gems in there, so it’s worth a look!
Thanks for everything, Bob. We’ll miss having you around.

Tomorrow we say goodbye to someone who has been a very big part of Turboweb. Bob has been with Turboweb through a lot of change, a lot of websites, a lot of code, and probably more than a few problems that started with someone saying, “Hey Bob, quick question…” As our Senior Developer, Bob has...

Today is our Paul’s 60th birthday. We are not sure if Paul even knows the impact he’s had on people’s lives but what we do know, is that over 20+ years of Turboweb and now Aroha Kaikorai Valley as another feather in his cap, that impact is significant in so many ways.

Happiest Birthdays to one of the absolute goodies from all of us, we love you and we think you’re pretty cool.

Your Master Painters New Zealand Apprentice of the Year 2026 🏆

We're proud to announce that Matthew Sims has been named the Master Painters New Zealand Apprentice of the Year for 2026!

The award was presented over the weekend after a huge week of hard work transforming Ranui House in Christchurch.

This achievement reflects the hard work, commitment and attention to detail Matthew has shown throughout his apprenticeship.

It's also a proud moment for the whole Sims & Blue team, with Matthew becoming our second apprentice in four years to take out the title of New Zealand's top painting and decorating apprentice.

A big shout-out to our experienced tradespeople who have worked alongside Matthew - passing on their knowledge, setting high standards and helping train the next generation of our trade.

Congratulations - an outstanding achievement! 👏

We all know how great our Paul is but are so stoked on him being recognised with this lovely award. Proud much. 🧡

We have some exciting news to share! Paul Southworth won the Individual Category at the Keep Dunedin Beautiful Awards!

Through his vision and leadership, Paul established Aroha Kaikorai Valley to create a healthier, more sustainable future for the Kaikorai Catchment. His passion for the environment has inspired people of all ages and backgrounds to get involved, from local businesses and schools to backyard trappers, volunteers, and community clean-up crews.

Under Paul's guidance, AKV has helped restore native biodiversity through predator control, native planting, habitat restoration, and waterway protection. Thanks to these efforts, native birdlife is returning and the ecological health of the valley continues to improve.

More than anything, Paul has built a movement. He brings people together, motivates them to take action, and shows us that every contribution matters. His dedication, energy, and belief in the community are helping create a greener, healthier Kaikorai Valley for future generations.

👏 Thank you, Paul, and congratulations on this well-deserved recognition!

Once upon a time, in the not too distant past, there was no AKV and no AKV shed! AKV’s noticeboard may feel like it’s always been there, but it was in fact ProSigns who gave us the signs that proudly stand on our shed today. They’ve also produced our signs for reserves and traps, and continue to give us their support. Thank you ProSigns for your generous contributions to the project.

ProSigns specialise in vehicle wraps, building signs, displays signs, corflute and aluminium composite material (ACM) signs. If you need large scale digital printing, window decals for your building, or 3D signage, give them a call.

We’re looking for a web developer to join us at Turboweb.

We’re pretty open on what this role looks like. Part-time, contract, flexible hours, or potentially full-time for the right person. We’re mainly looking for someone experienced, good to work with, and keen to build solid things.

Ideally you’ll have 5+ years of commercial experience and feel comfortable working across modern web applications and systems.

The work is a mix of client projects, platform development, and improving products we’re building ourselves, so there’s always a bit of variety.

We’re a small team and keep things pretty down to earth. We like working with people who communicate well, think practically, and enjoy what they do. We’re also fairly committed to bakery runs for pies and snacks, and birthdays always involve cake.

If it sounds like something you’d be interested in, send us a message.
