Five businesses and Bellyful Porirua feature in the latest Porirua News Business Directory welcome.

Whether you are planning a garden, looking after your hair or making your home more comfortable, there are people and organisations ready to help.

Porirua News is welcoming five businesses and a community charity to its Business Directory: Swittch, Vanilla Hair Parlour, ThermaShield Windows and Doors, City Works, Grow From Here and Bellyful Porirua.

Swittch

A heat pump, an electrical job or commercial refrigeration can all call for specialist help. Swittch, based on Kenepuru Drive in Porirua, works across air conditioning, refrigeration and electrical services.

Vanilla Hair Parlour

A haircut or colour can be a welcome chance to pause in a busy week. Vanilla Hair Parlour has a salon in Papakōwhai, as well as one in Paraparaumu.

ThermaShield Windows and Doors

Wellington-based ThermaShield supplies aluminium windows and doors for residential and commercial projects, including thermal-break joinery. The team serves Porirua as well as other parts of the region.

City Works

From a new fence or retaining wall to paving and outdoor spaces, City Works takes on landscaping and construction projects across the region. Its work includes earthworks, decks and both natural and artificial lawns.

Grow From Here

If the garden has got away on you, Titahi Bay-based Grow From Here offers garden consultations and maintenance. It also makes custom macrocarpa garden beds and helps people choose plants suited to their conditions.

Bellyful Porirua

Bellyful Porirua is part of a volunteer-led charity that cooks and delivers free meals to families with babies or children under 12 who are facing challenges without a support network. A meal can take one job off the list when a family needs a little breathing space.

The businesses’ involvement helps support free local reporting, while the directory gives readers a practical place to find services and organisations in the community.
