Unison Brings a Sparkle to Christmas in Hawke’s Bay

Wednesday 9 December 2015 – Christmas in Hawke’s Bay is set to sparkle again this year, with local electricity distributor, Unison, once again supporting two community festive lighting events - the Fiesta of Lights at the Hastings Showgrounds, and the Tremains Christmas Lights extravaganza.

Unison Chief Executive Officer, Ken Sutherland, said the festive season was a wonderful opportunity to help spread Christmas cheer within the community, and the lighting displays were a brilliant option, being both accessible and a natural fit with the Company.

“As the electricity distributor for Hawke’s Bay, Unison is an integral part of the region, and as such, we look for opportunities to support events that reach out to the wider community.

“Christmas lighting events are obviously a natural synergy, but the joy they bring to so many makes them a wonderful way for our Company to bring a little festive cheer to children and adults alike.”

Unison is contributing power vouchers for the ‘Top Five Best Decorated’ houses, and is also giving away family passes to the Fiesta of Lights via their ‘Twelve Days of Christmas Fiesta’ competition on their Facebook page. Visit Unison’s Facebook page to enter at facebook.com/unisonnetworks.
