We’re going to miss your presence, Mark Sanson. You will be deeply missed by everyone who knew you. Rest in peace, Mark. 🕊️💐

It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden passing of Mark Sanson, owner of Waiponamu Contracting.
The business he built from the ground up is a huge part of Mark's legacy, and the impact he had on the local contracting community will be remembered for many years to come.
His sudden passing has come as a shock, and he will be greatly missed by the many people who knew him through work, the community and everyday life.

Rest easy Mark
