Pride of NZ: Glenn Miller


Vote for your favourite finalist now at www.prideofnzawards.co.nz Glenn Miller left the Beachlands Volunteer Fire Service unexpectedly. The next day, he picked up where he left off: helping out in the ‘hood’. Miller, unused to even a ten minute interview, bashfully told the Herald he’d rather be seen, not heard, so it’s lucky his nomination says it all. “Glenn Miller has given 34 years to the Brigade, been a junior rugby coach, been involved in boating and gym clubs, and helped his fire crew to shoot down targets with a hose to win competitions.” He is also a founding member of the Pohutukawa Helping Hands Trust, a group of locals who share a common interest in helping other locals.
