MCL Construction

JC Mackersey Ltd was founded by John Charles Mackersey and commenced trading in 1948. John was elected National President of the New Zealand Master Builders Federation in 1961. 

Since that date JC Mackersey Ltd continued to grow and expand leading to a full separation of property holdings from the construction operation in 1988. JC Mackersey Ltd became the Property & Development Company now called Mackersey Development Ltd.

In 1989 John retired as Managing Director of JC Mackersey Ltd, with David Mackersey taking the reins, but remained actively involved in the building business until he passed away in 2002. He and his company transformed the skyline of Hawke's Bay during his building career.

Now, 68 years after JC (John Charles) Mackersey Ltd was formed, the company has rebranded to MCL Construction Ltd.

MCL Managing Director John Bower says the new brand completes a new direction for the business, with John and David Mackersey being joined in 2015 by Project Manager/ Estimator Philip Mitchell and Financial Accountant Michael Bush as MCL Construction Ltd shareholders.
