Christchurch employers seek trades in Wellington

20:46 pm on 20 December 2012

Christchurch employers were in Wellington on Thursday looking for tradespeople to help rebuild earthquake-damaged parts of their city.

The Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild team has set up base at the Wellington Institute of Technology in Petone.

A member of the team, Tony Dote, says it has been travelling the country for the last month looking for workers to join the rebuild.

Tony Dote says the stop in Wellington is the last for the year but the team will resume its search for workers in January.
