Canterbury Rugby is proud to announce that QBS (Quality Building Services) has expanded its commitment to the game, becoming an official Canterbury Rugby Pathways Partner.

Having proudly supported Canterbury Rugby since 2012, QBS' increased investment reflects a shared belief in the power of rugby to develop people, strengthen communities and create opportunities for the next generation across the region.

A proudly 100% New Zealand owned and operated business, QBS has built a reputation for delivering high-quality commercial and industrial heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) and mechanical services. From system design and installation through to preventative maintenance, energy-saving solutions, electrical services and project management, QBS partners with businesses across Canterbury to create safer, healthier and more efficient environments.

QBS Owner Eddie Garden said the decision to deepen the partnership was a natural one.

"We're incredibly proud to support the community that has supported us over the years. Canterbury has been our home since day one, and we believe it's important to give back to the people and organisations that help make this region such a great place to live and work.

"Rugby has always brought communities together and we're investing in its future so that generations continue to have the same opportunities to grow, connect and represent their communities with pride."

Canterbury Rugby Chief Executive Tony Smail said QBS' ongoing support demonstrates a genuine commitment to the future of the game.

"QBS have been valued partners of Canterbury Rugby since 2012, and having organisations that genuinely believe in the long-term success of our game is incredibly important.

"Their decision to become a Pathways Partner reflects a real commitment to developing our future players and supporting the communities that make Canterbury Rugby so strong. We're excited to continue building this partnership together."

Canterbury Rugby is proud to continue its longstanding relationship with QBS and looks forward to working alongside the team as they help create opportunities from grassroots to the grandstand, and make a lasting contribution to the future of rugby throughout Canterbury.
