Kaiapoi Monograms has been in operation for more than 25 years from the Historical Old Mill Buildings. Penny & Trevor took over this business in 2004 and continue to offer a high level of customer service and outstanding detail to their customers.
Interesting History.
The Kaiapoi Mill, established in 1873, originated as a woolen mill. One of the key services they provided was monogramming.
“I began to see life, however, when I viewed the making of monograms. The Kaiapoi Company specialises in this line, and will make any monogram for any design submitted. The first step is taken by the artist who draws the required picture, three times the necessary size. The colours are all inserted, and then comes the selection of the blue, gold, red or other materials needed. I had not realised that there were so many colours in thread. The next operation reaches the region of miracles; it has to be seen to be believed. By a device which is a translation of the artist’s pantograph into a tracery of steel, an incredible machine does six monograms at a time. The operator sits with a control needle, running it carefully over the centrally situated single pattern, and the machine takes care, six at a time, of the intricate weaving of curve, line and colour. There are three of these sextuple machines busy all the time.
Designs that require gold or other metallic threads or fine wire require special processes.
The Kaiapoi monogram pattern book is rather like one of those fascinating colour scrap books kept by our grandmothers; there are hundreds of designs from the familiar intertwined letters to the silver fern, the kiwi and elaborate multi-coloured crests. Some of them have the colour values of a painting.”
We are a local family business and MTA members with over 45 years in the trade so we stand by our work and give good friendly honest service.

A community food forest provides an abundance of food for residents and those that wish to visit to gather – fruits, vegetables, herbs and medicinal plants by way of a layered permaculture companion planting system.
Imagine wandering through a flourishing forest where almost every plant is edible and all plants serve a purpose.
The Waimakariri District Council is going to lease 1.5acres of land to the Kaiapoi Food Forest Trust to develop a food forest.
A food forest functions as a healthy closed-loop ecosystem, with each organism playing a role. Each element of the system supports the whole. The many relationships happening in an ecosystem are imitated in a food forest which:
• builds soil and accumulates nutrients
• self-fertilizes, self-mulches, self-regulates
• produces food, fiber, medicine, materials, fodder and more
• Sequesters Carbon, offsetting climate change
• provides habitat for all living organisms
• supports pollinators and beneficial insects
• protects and enhances biodiversity
We want volunteers…if you would like to help please give us a call… or visit during our volunteer days which is most Wednesdays from 4pm till around 6pm
Hospital standards are the highest level of Best Practice accreditation available in New Zealand and clients are assured of a high standard of service and professionalism. The accreditation is more demanding and represents an advanced level of veterinary treatment and care.
Kaiapoi Vet Centre is the fourth veterinary clinic to achieve this accreditation from the 500 clinics throughout New Zealand.
“Gaining and maintaining BESTPRACTICE Hospital accreditation is a lengthy and expensive process. It involves rigorous auditing by an independent expert, but it is a standard the team wanted to achieve to ensure pets receive the best care possible at RVC,” says Director and veterinarian, Ben Davidson.
“Announcing our Hospital accreditation propels us toward our mission of being a centre of veterinary excellence for North Canterbury”, says Dr Davidson.

Meeting participants also give impromptu talks on assigned topics, conduct meetings and develop skills related to timekeeping, grammar and parliamentary procedure.
