Methanex New Zealand is renewing its support of the Taranaki Rescue Helicopter Trust, which includes the naming rights for the rescue winch for the next three years.
Methanex managing director Dean Richardson says he's thrilled to announce the company's increased support of the Taranaki Helicopter Trust, which aligns with Methanex's focus on safety and wellbeing in communities in which the company operates.
"Methanex has supported the Helicopter Trust for more than 20 years and we've always acknowledged the vital service the trust provides. This partnership increases our level of support and ensures the ongoing servicing and maintenance of the winch, which allows the crew access in difficult terrain to lift patients to safety."
The Taranaki Rescue Helicopter has completed 193 missions so far this year, and Dean says supporting the trust is something the team at Methanex are pleased to do.
