Area Serviced: Waikato / Bay of Plenty

I have spent a large part of my career in interior design, helping people with the finishing touches of their homes. Initially with Harrisons Flooring, and since 2020 with Fresco Shade. I enjoy taking clients' ideas and dreams and helping them become a reality.

From the very start, I have been very impressed with Fresco Shades innovation and attention to detail. The canopies and blinds create a truly wonderful space for our customers to enjoy for many years. I look after the client and coordinate the whole process but am supported by a fantastic manufacturing and installation team.

We relocated from Auckland to the Waikato in 2020 and we’re proud to call ourselves Hamiltonians (albeit new ones). As a family, we enjoy spending time together, whether it is weekends away in our caravan, hopefully catching some waves or relaxing somewhere new.

I have been a part of the Fresco Shades team since joining the company early 2020. My background in hospitality, construction, and design has provided me with a strong foundation to understand and deliver custom outdoor living solutions for our clients.

It’s an awesome product backed by an amazing team. Fresco has an innovative & collaborative team. From installers to fabricators, design & office support, the whole team takes pride in delivering a high-quality product, making clients wishes a reality. I have a lot of faith & pride in our team, they’re awesome!

When I'm not at work, you'll find me exploring the great outdoors. Diving, fishing, boating tramping, and spending time immersed in nature.

I have been with Fresco Shades since 2020 and love working alongside customers to help them get the most out of their properties. Earlier in my career I was an Avionics Technician for the Royal New Zealand Air Force for 11 years.

It’s fantastic to work for Fresco Shades as I have confidence in our design team, so when looking at a bespoke location, I know the team will do their best to come up with a solution. We try really hard to avoid saying “No”. We have such a talented and creative team that we can work through most scenarios. Customers often tell me that other companies have said they can’t assist. Fresco Shades is a great solution for outdoor areas with an interesting shape.

I enjoy keeping fit and healthy, mainly through the sport of Jiu Jitsu. I love getting out and about in nature with my partner and 3 kids, whether that’s in Auckland or somewhere else around the country.

My career has always involved jobs centered around people. I pride my ability to listen, connect and develop solutions together with clients. It is great to help them create outdoor living areas that they can enjoy all year round.

To be in successful in sales the most fundamental thing is to believe in the product you are selling, Fresco Shades business ethos and attention to detail in the end product align with my beliefs. The expertise from all involved from the factory, installers ,management and front line staff contribute to a fantastic team environment that ultimately produces superior products.

A family man at heart and avid mountain biker, a passion that I shares with my son Liam. Most weekends we can be found in a forest somewhere enjoying the great outdoors on their bikes.

After first starting my career in IT, I discovered my hidden talent of talking and sales. From there I moved onto work with Fresco Shades helping clients discover the potential in their outdoor spaces! – add still occasionally solving the odd IT issues in the office!

From growing up with the product I have developed a great appreciation for what the product can do to enhance the quality of life for all of our clients. I have had the opportunity to witness the product grow and develop itself over the years into the award winning product it is today. The drive for excellence has been passed down and being able to be apart of the business is truly a dream job.

Take in the beauty of the south with hiking the trails and hitting the slopes when time and weather permits! Having relocated from Auckland to Christchurch back in 2022, I have found a new love for the south and all it haves to offer!

I came to New Zealand in 2007 planning a year of Working Holiday, but then fell in love with the Country and decided to stay. Started as a Sailmaker and moved to Fresco to work in the Curtains Dept. Since then, I worked my way up through the Office, Sales and now managing Fresco from the desk and on site.

I truly believe in the product, but I’m convinced that we provide a solution to our customers. From the Team in the Factory all the way to the Installers, every person is passionate about what they do and always try to provide the best service to make our customers happy, by changing the way they use their outdoors areas.

Leaving the big smoke to spend the weekend with my family at the bach is my biggest pleasure, but when we stay at home, Football and water sports keep us busy all year.

As the receptionist at Fresco Shades, I’m the first friendly face our customers and visitors see. My mission is to create a welcoming and professional atmosphere that ensures every interaction you have with our company leaves a lasting positive impression.

My journey into customer service began in the kitchen as a baker and catering coordinator. There, I sharpened my attention to detail and commitment to exceptional service. Transitioning to reception and administration, I’ve brought those same values to the forefront, ensuring that every task I handle is done with care and precision. Joining the Fresco Shades team has been a fantastic opportunity to further develop my skills and contribute to a company that genuinely values excellence and client satisfaction.

What I love most about being part of Fresco Shades is the relentless pursuit of innovation and the attention to detail. Here, it’s not just about delivering products and services—it’s about enhancing our customers’ lives in meaningful ways. Working alongside a team that truly cares and consistently goes the extra mile makes me proud to be a part of this incredible journey.

When I’m not greeting clients with a smile, you’ll find me indulging in my favourite crafts, whipping up something delicious in the kitchen, playing a (very) casual round of golf, enjoying a good braai with family and friends.
