While Taranaki's spring weather is still trying to make up its mind, we're already thinking about firing up the barbie!

Back at the Primo King of the Mountain BBQ competition, we caught up with some of the teams and asked them to share a few of their best BBQ tips and tricks.

We know a thing or two about keeping people connected, but when it comes to cooking up a decent BBQ, we thought we'd leave that to the experts! 😎

Over the coming weeks, we'll be sharing some of their advice to help get your summer BBQ game sorted.

🔥 First up, a little advice from Loaded Que on getting things just right. 🧈

I'm sure you've noticed the chill in the wind today, after last weeks little warm weather teaser. This image might explain why.

A pretty easy way to back a great local organisation while sorting your broadband and mobile at the same time. 💛
Sign up to a new Primo broadband plan through New Plymouth RDA’s link below and we’ll give 5% of your monthly plan cost back to NPRDA, every month. You’ll also get a $50 account credit when you join.
Local broadband supporting local people. We reckon that’s a pretty good deal. 😊

Just giving everyone a full week’s notice, because apparently 2:01am is going missing next Sunday. 😬🕑

Daylight saving kicks in on Sunday 27 September, which means the clocks jump forward and 2:00am quietly disappears until April.

So if you had big plans for that hour, best reschedule now.

We got a lovely little surprise in the office this week. 💛

One of the Primo prize winners from this year’s Elemental Group Taranaki Science and Technology Fair, sent us a handwritten thank-you card after receiving her sponsorship prize.

She’s putting the money towards her project for next year, which is exactly the sort of thing we love to hear. 🔬✨

Supporting young people who are curious, creative and keen to keep building on their ideas is a big part of why Primo gets behind events like the Science & Technology Fair in the first place.

Thanks for the card, Samara. We’ll be looking forward to seeing what you come up with next. 😊

Phones, tablets, TVs, gaming, streaming, all of it adds up pretty quickly these days. A solid home WiFi setup keeps everyone connected without the usual “who broke the internet?” accusations flying around. 😅

Smart home, sorted. That’s Primo.

That crooked horizon on the Primo chimney cameras has been quietly offending a few sensitive souls around the office for longer than we’d like to admit. 😅📷

The problem is, those cameras live in a pretty unforgiving spot. Access to the chimney is limited, the weather gives them a hiding, and when they shift out of alignment it’s not exactly a quick trip up a ladder to straighten them again.

So we’re very grateful to the mysterious camera fairy who has worked their magic and got them sitting straight again. 🧚‍♂️✨

One phone, more than one number. Pretty handy, really. 📱

With eSIM, you can keep your personal and work numbers on the same device, without juggling multiple phones or swapping SIM cards.

Simple, tidy, and one less thing to carry around. 😎

Chat to the Primo team if you want to know whether eSIM will work for you.
