About Us

Renwick Smart + Connected is a community group run by volunteers looking after the social and economic development of Renwick.

The group was set up in March 2015 after two well-attended public meetings showed there was a strong desire for such a group in the township.
 
Renwick S+C has taken on the mantle of the Renwick Resident’s Association in order the fantastic work the RRA has done for Renwick over the last few decades.

As a group, Renwick Smart & Connected is looking at the best ways to promote the district, based around the village’s location in the heart of Marlborough’s wine country.

There is a Steering Group and several Working Groups.  The Steering Group oversees and coordinates the initiative while the Working Groups focus on their individual areas of interest.
​
The Steering Group members are:

• Joe Keighley
• Liz Dillon
• Steve Hill
• Adrianna Ingpen
• Carolyn Pudney
• Rose Guile (representing Renwick School)
• Paul Guile (representing the Giesen Centre)
• Councillor Cynthia Brooks
• Damien Yvon
• Sue Avery (Administrator)

The steering group has endorsed a vision for Renwick that makes the most of its location and the strength of its community for young families, building on the strength of the local primary school, Renwick School. ​
