Bob Kerridge shares with us a little insight on what he's been up to post-SPCA, his long-standing relationship with Jet Park Hotel, our pet-stay rooms, and future projects he's involved with. Background: Jet Park Airport Hotel and Conference Centre owners, Liz Herrmann and John Lateulere have long been avid supporters of the SPCA both in South Africa and here in New Zealand; "SPCA is a cause close to our hearts, and is a charity supported by Jet Park Hotels.  Ever since we bought the property on which we built the original hotel Bob Kerridge has been a wonderful neighbour and friend to Jet Park Hotels". The relationship has gone from strength to strength, and in 2012, we became a major 'Bed and Board' sponsor of the SPCA Auckland.
