Management & Office Staff
I started Chatterton Homes in 1998 after a few years in the farming sector and then re training in construction. The team has since grown and we have successfully become leaders in high performing homes and SIPs construction, something I am very proud of.
Another highlight for me was the opportunity to spend eight years on the Board for New Zealand Certified Builders, two of them as Chairman. Contributing to raising the standard and integrity of the residential construction sector and providing better support for our builder members has been very rewarding.
I enjoy the relationships developed along a building journey and the ability to deliver to our clients their dream home. I also enjoy the technical aspects of the job. I hold the international passive house tradesperson qualification, and I am also qualified to undertake air tightness testing with a blower door. You can never stop learning.
Outside of work three kids makes for a busy weekend! I enjoy coaching kids sport, mountain biking and boating with our family.

In 2000 I travelled to NZ on a sabbatical and never went home, starting again from one backpack. I never expected to end up in construction but the ‘Coast to Coast’ sealed my fate when I met Brent! I enjoy working with clients from all backgrounds with their own stories to tell. Its our job to assist them achieve the dream they have worked so hard for. That is the best part of this job.
Outside of work and supporting our kids with their multitude of sport, I make the most of New Zealand trail running, biking, boating and surf lifesaving with family & friends.
