History

The early days.

Upon dads advice to get a trade, I became a fitter welder apprentice and during that time worked on ship repairs, refrigeration projects, structural projects, factory equipment installations and various other general engineering projects. And, over the years have worked in Australia in workshops where I was part of a team that built and repaired fuel transport tankers, LPG tankers and associated equipment. Also worked in a heavy engineering factory that fabricated components for the draglines, 30'000 ton ( some of the biggest equipment of its type in the world ) earth moving equipment, for the coal fields in Australia.
Came back to NZ, worked on earth moving equipment and also worked for a company as a pipefitter welder- gas fitter.
