We work hard to ensure that all workshops are cost effective by automating our systems. If you require an invoice (rather than paying by debit or credit card) there will be a $25.00 inc GST surcharge for this, and you will need to supply:

• The full name and postal address required to appear on the invoice.

• The contact name and email of the person(s) responsible for authorising this expense and approving payment.

• Any purchase order references required on vendor invoices.

Please email feona@grow.co.nz  if you would like to reserve a place, as our workshops fill quickly.
