The team at FIRST72 were fantastic to work with. We (NZDF) approached them with a challenge, and they came back with an excellent emergency kit solution. Their advice was expert, the communication was prompt and clear, and they even offered thoughtful suggestions beyond what we expected. The final kit was well put together, presented professionally and very well received at our end. Thanks again for the outstanding support!
★★★★★
FIRST72 has provided exceptional customer service from concept to on-time delivery of 25 x Resilience Emergency Pods for the Wairoa district. The communities will benefit enormously from this initiative for years to follow as our area is prone to climate change and isolation in the event of a natural disaster that unfortunately eventuated recently with Cyclone Gabrielle. I would definitely recommend their services to others because of their professionalism, attention to detail and commitment to community projects.
★★★★★
Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu engaged FIRST72 due to their strong national reputation as a trusted emergency pod provider. They successfully assembled and distributed all 24 emergency pods across Southland, Otago, the West Coast, and Canterbury in less than three months. Feedback from our Papatipu Rūnanga was overwhelmingly positive, with strong appreciation for the quality of the equipment, the clarity of the training and the professionalism shown throughout the project.
★★★★★
The FIRST72 Starlink Rapid Deployment Kit is awesome, and the carry case has been a real hit – we spent ages trying to find one suitable for the standard Starlink we got a few months back so it was awesome to just have it all in one.
★★★★★
First72 have supported us across a range of practical needs from volunteer gear and essential equipment to training, guidance, and the development of our EPOD and trailer. What I value most about First72 is their commitment to working alongside us. They understand the realities of emergency response and have consistently helped us strengthen our readiness in a way that is both practical and sustainable. I find them as a great sounding board they have a shared experience and can offer advise when needed the most. They are also one of those firms that will find a way do what needs to be done rather than telling me it cant be done.
★★★★★
The team are ecstatic with having the emergency containers on site, they are are bang on what we wanted!
★★★★★
Our marae have become local emergency response centres after a number of natural disasters, in some cases feeding a thousand people a day. Our new emergency pods are a way to enhance our marae emergency response preparedness. We want to empower our people to offer support and manaaki to whānau and the community during emergency events. This is such important mahi as it highlights the importance of emergency preparedness in our Ngāi Tahu Takiwā.
★★★★★
First72 worked closely with our team and partners to ensure local needs were met. Their training was hands-on, relevant and strengthened our ability to respond to emergencies. We continue to work with First72 on wider preparedness projects and fully endorse their commitment and capability. We recommend them for any future initiatives focused on resilience and community safety.
