Our Leadership
Andrew's career has spanned over 25 years in the NZ, UK and Australian Building and Construction industries. He has held senior executive positions in a number of leading trade and hardware suppliers including B&Q (UK), Fletcher Building, Carters, Stratco (Aust), Mitre 10 Trade and Laser Plumbing and Electrical. He has an extensive track record of creating and growing successful profitable trade businesses with a particular focus on builders, plumbers and electricians.
With an extensive working knowledge of franchise, cooperative ownership models, trade contractor businesses and with a clear vision Andrew stepped away from corporate life to pursue his dreams of entrepreneurship. The outcome was the creation of a national plumbing and electrical member franchise called PERL, borne with a distinct vision and clear direction.
To achieve sustained long-term growth and success Andrew identified that the PERL needed to set a vastly better level of trust and customer experience than was currently the norm. To do this required commitment by all its members to become a business renowned not just for its performance but revered in its reputation to delight through its customer driven service, its values (Fair, Down to Earth, Honest, Trusted, Family Values) and the integrity in the way it operated.
