As a sales representative for MICO Plumbing, I established a niche client base of architects, developers, builders, and high-end construction projects, leveraging my technical knowledge to ensure fit-for-purpose products were supplied. I developed and implemented my own pricing strategy, ensuring competitive rates on projects while maintaining high quality service.

As the owner of Cromptons, a small sheet metal factory, our team and I transformed the business into a medium-sized preferred supplier of metalwork solutions to the local construction industry. Over 20 years of ownership, our team developed our own expertise in both custom and production work, fostering a unique understanding of our clients’ needs.

For Forman’s, we developed a bespoke solution to meet their short-term manufacturing needs. By leveraging our large manufacturing volumes and flexible production schedule, we were able to supply high-quality products at a competitive cost, ensuring a timely delivery and convenient collection for Forman’s branches throughout New Zealand. Our long-standing partnership, built over 15 years, demonstrates our commitment to delivering value to our clients.

A chance encounter with Portabuild, a potential client, led to a problem-solving opportunity that leveraged our manufacturing capabilities to address their inventory issues. Our team collaborated to develop spreadsheets with coded products and descriptions, streamlining their processes and solidifying the business relationship. This collaborative effort not only resolved their needs but also elevated Portabuild to become a top client of Cromptons, a testament to the power of teamwork and effective communication between all parties involved.
