Misco Joinery proud to continue involvement in Rugby

Family operated business Misco Joinery has been proud to partner with Canterbury Rugby this season, as they proudly watch their name on the number 11 FPC and number 12 NPC jersey each week.

With humble beginnings working from the family home in 1988, Misco Joinery now employs over 50 staff and are excited to be coming on board with the red and blacks this season.

Director Glenn Colenso says he sees many similarities in Canterbury Rugby and Misco Joinery, in particular a “loyalty and pride” in wearing their badge. Speaking of his staff Colenso says, “The guys get a lot out of it and you feel like part of the team,” in particular watching Misco Joinery on the back of the Canterbury jersey “the players wearing our jersey have done pretty well!”

Understanding how important grassroots rugby is, Colenso began Misco Joinery’s connection with the sport by partnering his home club New Brighton, “grassroots is where is comes from” says Colenso.

His passion for rugby didn’t begin with partnership though, not being a stranger from the field – Colenso played for New Brighton before becoming a referee and plans pick the whistle back up again this year. “I’ve always been a Canterbury Rugby guy, from playing to refereeing.”
