Congratulations 🎉🥳 again to Golden Bay’s Daniel Bruning from Diggs Ltd who earned the title of 🏅Nelson Marlborough’s top digger operator on Saturday after winning the Civil Contractors New Zealand CablePrice Nelson Marlborough Regional Excavator Operator Competition.

The event, held at Richmond Showgrounds as part of the Nelson A & P Show, saw 11 of the region's finest excavator operators demonstrate nerves of steel to tackle a unique set of challenges, including performing sport-themed tasks in their 13-tonne machines.

Bruning said he had been feeling confident of a strong finish after coming second in his debut competition outing last year.

“I felt pretty good, there were some new challenges but I wasn’t as nervous this time around.”
