All credit to Len after 50 years in job

Len Speir has been an accountant at the same Bay firm for half a century.
"When I come to work I have a smile on my face and my wife has a smile on her face because I'm out from under her feet," 79-year-old Mr Speir says, with a laugh.
The Tauranga man joined Staples Rodway, then called Murray Crossman and Partners, as a partner when he was 29 - and loved the ensuing 50 years so much he has never wanted to work anywhere else.
He celebrated his milestone this month.
"The main thing in life is to enjoy what you are doing, not bear the burden of being a square peg in a round hole," said Mr Speir.
He has seen both accounting practice and Tauranga change phenomenally over the years.
When the firm opened in 1947, there were 5000 people living in Tauranga and 1000 in Mount Maunganui. Most of the firm's business was generated by dairy farms.
Today, the combined population totals more than 100,000 and Tauranga businesses are more diverse. As a result, accounting work has become more complex, said Mr Speir.
He thinks the single biggest change to the workplace has been computerisation, which is now essential to keep up with new tax regulations.
Mr Speir grew up in Ngaruawahia, studied accounting at Auckland University, and after a short stint in the Royal New Zealand Navy at the end of World War 2 moved to Tauranga to work at the then Tauranga County Council.
"I came over from the Waikato for a year or two and stayed 55," said Mr Speir. "I've always been very happy with Tauranga. It's a great place to bring up children."
As well as bringing up four children with his wife Nola, Mr Speir has always been heavily involved in the community.
His impressive record as a volunteer reflects the dedication he exhibits at work.
Mr Speir has been a Rotary member for 20 years, served 34 years as secretary of the local Institute of Chartered Accountants, 30 years as president of the Tauranga Lawn Tennis Club, as well as being voluntary accountant for the Tauranga Operatic Society, Save the Children Fund and Matakana Island Maori Trust.
"You do your bit for the community where you fit in," said Mr Speir modestly.
Mr Speir stood down as partner in 1991, although he continues as a consultant for the families he has worked so closely with over the years. "The work has been there and I'm happy to do it," he said.
He plans to carry on at Staples Rodway, working two days a week this year, and probably next.
He is not sure if he will continue beyond his 80th birthday.
"The problem I've got is that clients are dying off. I can't do much about that.
"I don't do new clients but now some of the families are down to the second and third generations."
