Richie's Corner

Richie McCaw says he has chosen to support Versatile – which was established in Christchurch more than 40 years ago – because of the company’s focus on both quality and value.

I’ve spent a bit of time looking at the company and working with the guys from Versatile, says Richie McCaw. And what has impressed me is that they deliver what they say they will – quality, stylish homes and buildings, at a price that makes them accessible to more Kiwis.

"They are straight-up local guys who ensure nothing is a hassle when choosing or building a Versatile home – that’s why I chose them to build my new house."

Richie McCaw selected the Carrington plan from Versatile’s 40 designs in the homes range, which was built in 2010 at an undisclosed South Island location.

"I’ve got a lot on at the moment," says Richie McCaw, "so it was great to have the team from Versatile ready to lend a hand – and the local expertise really helped me with the design, building and consent stages."

Versatile General Manager, Darren Sandford, says the entire team is incredibly proud to have Richie McCaw’s backing.

"We think Richie’s a fantastic ambassador for Versatile, and we’re very pleased to have him as part of our team", says Darren Sandford.

We’re a local company that has been building for Kiwis for over 40 years – and part of a group that builds more for New Zealanders than any other.

We’ve worked hard to make home ownership more accessible to more New Zealanders, while delivering great quality, style and strength.

Mr Sandford says Richie McCaw has spent quite a lot of time getting to know the Versatile team, to ensure he made the right selection before giving his backing to the brand.

"All New Zealanders know, on the rugby field Richie represents strength, determination and performance. And as such a stunning playmaker, he’s also one of the games most versatile players. Off the field, though, he’s a very down-to-earth guy who takes his position as a ambassador for the sport and the country very seriously", says Darren Sandford.

That’s why we’re so excited to have him as an ambassador for Versatile. We’re extremely proud to have built him his new home.

Keep your eyes and ears open over the coming months – I’m, sure you’ll be hearing plenty more from Richie about his enthusiasm for the Versatile brand!
