From casual to serious - Celebrating a great relationship with Lucino Benchtops

Nothing beats seeing hard work rewarded. We are thrilled to celebrate five of our temp team members who have recently transitioned into permanent roles with our client, Lucino Benchtops:

Luke – Benchtop Installer
Richie – Benchtop Fabricator
Richard – Benchtop Fabricator
Mira – Quotes Estimator
Varun – CNC Machinist / Benchtop Installer

Dedication, craftsmanship, and reliability made this transition a natural next step, and we are stoked to see them go full time.

From Factory Floor to Office: A Full-Spectrum Partnership

This milestone highlights the true breadth of roles Blokhaus fills across the manufacturing and trades sectors. Our Business Development Manager, Casey, worked closely with the Lucino team to place skilled talent across every stage of their operation - from high-precision machinery and workshop fabrication to technical office estimation and final on-site installation.

Filling such diverse positions requires more than just matching skills on a CV; it’s about understanding the entire workflow of a business and delivering people who fit seamlessly into the culture.

Shared Values: Built on Accountable, Straight-Shooting Partnerships

The success of these placements stems from a deep alignment in values between Blokhaus and Lucino Benchtops.

Lucino operates on a core belief: the result matters more when one team owns every step. By bringing direct importing, estimating, templating, workshop fabrication, and final installation under one roof in Christchurch, Lucino creates a single, accountable line of communication for residential, commercial, and multi-home projects. Every decision - from edge profiles to site access - is considered early to ensure a flawless handover.

At Blokhaus Recruitment, we operate with that same end-to-end commitment:

People First: We are a relationship-focused business. Putting great people into roles means staying in touch, dealing face-to-face, and never treating candidates or clients like a number.
Confidence in Quality: As our principle goes, “We don’t employ staff unless we are confident they can fulfil the role.”
Straight Shooters: We aren't the big guns—simply straight shooters. We take a direct, transparent approach to communication, paired with streamlined digital platforms that keep tracking and billing straightforward and stress-free.

When two businesses value accountability, clear communication, and pride in their work, great results follow.

Congratulations once again to Luke, Richie, Richard, Mira, and Varun on reaching this fantastic milestone, and thank you to Lucino Benchtops for continuing to partner with Blokhaus to build great teams.
