From money transactions to making flax flowers - the staff at BNZ Rotorua took a break from their office for a worthy cause.
The annual BNZ Closed for Good event was held yesterday, involving branches throughout the country closing for the day so staff could volunteer within the community.
Rotorua staff helped at Kiwi Encounter, Lynmore School and the Rotorua Breast Cancer Trust by making flax flowers for next month's Pink Walk.
Banking adviser Brenda Lillas said staff appreciated the time away from their normal duties to help out. Staff and their partners gote busy flower-making at the Millennium Hotel and aimed to produce 2000 yesterday.
"It's quite a bit different for me from doing mortgages and investments and things like that," Miss Lillas said.
