Business Unit Manager

Projects and Gunac | Waterproofing Specialists

After 22 years of managing my own construction company in South Africa, I decided to make New Zealand and Access | Partners in Property my new home. Starting at Access as a project manager was my opportunity to make a difference in the NZ construction industry. Eight months down the line, I grew into the role of Business Unit Manager, leading and facilitating the dynamic Gunac and Projects Team.

When I am not supporting my team to deliver the quality work we provide, you will find me enjoying the beautiful outdoors and magnificent fishing opportunities.

My background is in project and contract management, with over 30 years of experience in the waterproofing field. I am an author number holder and a licensed building practitioner (LBP). Prior to joining Gunac | Waterproofing Specialists in November last year, I had spent the last 14 years working in a similar role. When I am not working, you will find me riding my mountain bike and staying fit.

Senior Project Manager - Liquids

Arriving from South Africa last August in 2023, I bring a wealth of experience to the liquids department at Gunac. For 14 years, I owned and operated a small waterproofing company, honing my skills and expertise in the field. Now, as Senior Project Manager, I tackle the daily challenges of a new market, diverse products, and ever-changing weather conditions with enthusiasm.

Leading a multicultural team, I value the diversity of perspectives and experiences. Outside of work, I share my passion for adventure sports with my wife & sons, such as mountain biking, motocross, and BMX.
