Nationwide survey of what matters to Kiwi men

Nationwide survey of what matters to Kiwi men

What’s really important in life? Is it getting ahead in the rat race? Having time to chill out on the couch? Or being the type of person that’s willing to help a mate out and make time for family and friends?

Speight’s is running a nationwide competition that tests how far Kiwis are willing to go to lend their mates a hand. People can enter to win their very own epic dream shed worth $16,000, but it comes with a catch: anyone who enters has to have to have a bunch of mates willing to help them build it!

To see how Kiwi men feel about lending a hand, Speight’s ran a nationwide survey* to find out what really matters to this remarkable type of character.

This is what the survey revealed:

o 84% of Kiwi men would stop to help a stranded motorist.

o Just over half of men would offer to help their neighbour build a deck.

o 60% of men would forfeit tickets to the All Blacks in favour of keeping their word to family or friends.

o 74% would buy enough beers for themselves and to share with mates.

o 51% of Kiwi men spend time with their mates once a week, and 39% want to spend more time with mates.

Anyone who feels he measures up, can enter the Speight’s Shed competition at www.speights.co.nz then get some mates on board to help build it. The best bit? With a fold down table, chairs 4 burner BBQ and dartboard, they’ll all be able to enjoy it together over a cold Speight’s at the end of the day.

*Survey was conducted independently through Buzz Online, with 504 male respondents aged 18 – 65+ around the country.
