Turners Auto Retail Celebrates Continued Growth
Turners Auto Retail is proud to announce a 6% increase in retail vehicle sales for FY25—an impressive result in a market that declined by 6.2%. The company also continues to expand its footprint, now with 33 branches nationwide, and its team, now well over 500 strong. Turners continues to grow, invest in its people, and build momentum.
The results were celebrated in style at the company's Annual Awards Night, the centrepiece of a three-day national conference that brought together nearly 100 leaders from across the country.
Hosted in Auckland, the event recognised excellence across the business, with a total of 28 awards presented to high-performing individuals and teams. The night's top honour, the Supreme Award, was awarded to the Whangārei branch, celebrating their outstanding performance and contribution over the past year. CEO, Greg Hedgepeth, presented the award to the Branch leaders who accepted on behalf of their team.
'Our teams have truly cranked through a tough market this year by leaning into the challenges and working hard to overcome them,' said Hedgepeth. 'These awards are not just about celebrating results, but recognising the energy, resilience and values that power this business every day. I'm incredibly proud of what we've achieved together.'
The Turners conference is a much-anticipated annual highlight, designed to bring people together to share knowledge, align on strategy for the future, and celebrate success. From Branch Managers to Office Managers, the three-day conference included workshops, keynotes, planning sessions—and of course, the awards evening itself.
'With new branches opening in Christchurch and a clear strategy for increased investment in our brand, our digital capability, and our people, the future is bright,' said Hedgepeth. 'We want Turners to be seen as the best place in the industry to grow a career—where people are supported, recognised, and part of something exciting.'
'And I can't overstate how important our people are to our success,' Hedgepeth continued, 'which is why I'm particularly proud that we continue to be in the top 5% of organisations globally for employee engagement.'
Turners was also recently awarded a 5-Star Employer of Choice by the Human Resources Director Group for New Zealand, another proof point of their commitment to culture, leadership, and the development of their people.

AI boom in Australia: Amazon investment sparks debate on artificial intelligence and housing shortage
But what do we actually get for the money? Just data centres. If I was making a list of things Australia should be doing with concrete and air-conditioning, it would not include making data centres. What we need desperately, what we are horribly short of, is homes. House prices are zooming up, and not just from speculation. We've had huge inflation in the cost of building. Building a house from scratch costs around A$500,000, depending on its size and location. Maybe as much as a million bucks. And the inflation data tell us that price is up 39% compared with 2020. Even renovation costs a bomb. Chucking a renovation on a small old home is now an A$500,000+ activity. Jeff Bezos' Amazon wants to build data centres in Australia. Photo / Getty Images Why is building houses expensive? For a lot of reasons. One is the tradie shortage. Prices for getting the plumbing and wiring and framework of a house all put in are up sharply. Concrete slabs cost a fortune now. Australia needs new homes. Photo / Getty Images When it comes to these data centres, Amazon is supplying the capital, the money, which is nice. But money is not something Australia is super short of. We have trillions in the national superannuation fund that's just plonked in the sharemarket. (In fact, we have more super funds than the whole sharemarket is worth, so we now have to invest in other countries' sharemarkets too.) What we are short of is skilled people. Unemployment is at a historically low 4.3% right now. Unemployment among trades workers (people whose last job was in the trades) is about as low as it has ever been. You build a data centre – it doesn't cause the plumber tree to magically make more plumbers. The result is some fella driving his Ford Ranger to the data centre site instead of a site where they are making a new suburb. He spends the day plumbing server air-conditioning systems instead of dunnies. We get fewer workers in the home-building industry and fewer new homes. Large language models In a perfect world, we would be trying to allocate all our spare workers to making homes – and reallocate the workers who aren't spare to that task too. But instead we will be allocating them to meet the needs of large language models. Artificial intelligence (AI) has lots of different tricks but the most popular ones are language models, where you ask it a question and it tells you an answer, like GPT-5, the newest update that came out this week. Large language models are trained on published materials (including my articles on the internet, which I think is quite cool, and my book, which they pirated and I'm cross about). So far, large language models are kind of stupid, giving lots of wrong answers to easy questions, making things up, etc. But anyone making definitive judgments that AI is therefore pointless is engaging in wishful thinking. The pace of change is breakneck. Just because AIs hallucinated and couldn't draw fingers six months ago does not mean they still suck now. The future is yet to be seen. AI could turn out to be useful. (In fact, Waymo uses AI to drive its driverless cars and the early data show they crash way less than people.) But AI is a gamble and the payoff for the gamble will go to Amazon. Whereas making some more homes is a pretty sure bet that would actually help Australians, especially the increasingly large cohort who do not own a home. Less than 50% of 30-34 year olds owned a home at the last Census, down from 68% 40 years earlier. The AI bulge The following chart shows capital expenditure by the IT industry in Australia. It gives us a little glimpse of the foothills of this AI investment boom, which is set to grow even more. Private new capital expenditure and expected expenditure in March 2025. We are already spending three times as much as a few years ago. Not to mention more than in the year-2000 dotcom bubble. This is the other big concern about AI; if the huge investment doesn't pay off, there could be a big market crash. As in 2000, firms will have spent a lot of money on an idea that will pay off eventually. But it won't pay off soon enough to prevent a crisis of confidence, a market downturn, a crash in capital expenditure and an economic slowdown. This is another risk we invite on our shores when we welcome Amazon's capital expenditure. There are a lot of people worrying that AI will bring about a terrifying technological singularity, where it uses its own intelligence to make itself ever smarter and then destroys us. I think there's not nearly enough people worrying that AI will just grind us down by distracting us from building the things that will actually make us happier.

GPT-5 set to transform AI with multimodal & inclusive features
Anticipation is building within the technology sector as the next iteration of OpenAI's generative artificial intelligence, GPT-5, approaches launch. Industry leaders are highlighting its potential to redefine the standards of multimodal AI, bringing sweeping changes to both enterprise applications and customer engagement. Andreas Vermeulen, Head of AI at Avantra, describes GPT-5 as "the next big breakthrough in AI, not merely as a smarter chatbot but as a comprehensive reasoning engine with state-of-the-art multimodal capabilities." According to Vermeulen, the integration of text, image, audio, and video inputs into a unified engine is central to GPT-5's advancement. He emphasises the platform's versatile design, noting, "Its built-in chain-of-thought design, supporting inputs like text, images, audio, and video, makes it a full-fledged intelligence platform." Vermeulen is particularly keen on the accessibility offered by scalable deployment options such as 'Mini' and 'Nano' models for API integration. These variants are expected to make the technology deployable across cloud and edge environments alike. "GPT-5's emphasis on accessibility is not just about availability; it's about inclusion. It opens the door for companies of all sizes to utilise sophisticated AI without compromise," he adds. The shift towards more inclusive AI aligns with broader industry trends prioritising the democratisation of advanced tools. By lowering technical and financial barriers, GPT-5 could enable small and medium-sized businesses to access capabilities once available only to large enterprises with substantial resources. Joel Neeb, Chief of Transformation and Business Operations Officer at 8x8, stresses the implications for customer engagement, particularly within the contact centre sector. "ChatGPT-5 could transform how customers and brands engage. There are multiple ways this model may change the contact centre environment," Neeb says. He believes the model's enhanced reasoning and multimodal capabilities introduce new ways to build and refine customer experience strategies. Neeb highlights one of GPT-5's most anticipated features: its simulation of internal chains of thought, which allows the AI to process context and customer intent more effectively. "GPT-5's reported ability to simulate internal chains of thought is a step forward in understanding context and customer intent. This allows virtual agents to hold longer, more natural conversations that reduce the need for escalation," he explains. Despite these advances, Neeb cautions against viewing AI as a complete replacement for human agents: "People still play a critical role, especially in emotional or high-risk situations. What's changing is the balance of work between people and automation." He suggests that as automated systems manage a greater share of routine queries, human employees will increasingly focus on interactions requiring empathy, expertise, or complex judgment. The prospect of an AI platform capable of understanding and responding to mixed-media queries, while carrying a richer internal logic from one exchange to the next, excites many observers. Industry analysts believe such capabilities could benefit sectors beyond contact centres, including healthcare, education, creative industries, and logistics. Larger enterprises may find it streamlines operations, whilst smaller firms could see new opportunities emerge as the technology becomes both cheaper and easier to integrate. Yet, with each new advance comes questions about AI's role in sensitive or critical applications. Vermeulen and Neeb both acknowledge the importance of responsible deployment, with Neeb's comments underscoring the ongoing need for human oversight in situations where precision or emotional intelligence is vital. As stakeholders await the release of GPT-5, expectations are high that this next generation will deliver both technological advances and meaningful operational benefits, reinforcing the growing trend towards AI-powered transformation across the global economy.
