FONKO Apprentises - Qualified Tradesmen

Celebrating the Next Generation of HVAC & Refrigeration Tradespeople
At FONKO, we believe the future of New Zealand's Refrigeration and HVAC industry depends on the people we invest in today.


With a well-documented skills shortage across our trade, supporting young Kiwis through quality apprenticeships isn't just good business — it's essential for the industry as a whole. A trade qualification opens doors to a rewarding, lifelong career, and we're proud to play a part in that journey.
Today, we're incredibly proud to recognise three apprentices who have recently graduated as fully qualified tradesmen after completing their training with FONKO:
🔧 Declan — Auckland Office 🔧 Jonathan — Auckland Office 🔧 Gurpinder — Wellington Branch


Their dedication, work ethic, and commitment to learning the trade has been outstanding, and they are now valued qualified members of our team.


And the journey doesn't stop there. We're excited to share that FONKO has just welcomed three new 1st Year Apprentices into the business. We're looking forward to supporting them as they develop the skills, knowledge, and attitude needed to follow in the footsteps of those who've come before them.
Investing in young talent. Building the future of our industry. That's the FONKO way.
