  Made with you, for you. Warner Fencing and Gates have been designing, manufacturing and installing quality gates, fences and balustrades throughout New Zealand for more than 25 years. We specialise in residential and commercial solutions made for safety, security and street appeal.I see my role as helping my team grow, enjoy their environment and be proud of what they’re achieving. As the Auckland franchise owner, I wear several hats. 1: Management: empowering my staff 2: Logistics: quoting and ordering3: Strategy: forward thinking I enjoy balancing my time behind the screen with on-the-job experience. My key areas of expertise include balustrading, pool fencing and bespoke gates. I’m proud to have grown these product lines throughout the company by focusing on who the customers are, rather than what the product is. I get my kicks tackling big commercial projects like schools and retirement villages with detailed specs and bespoke designs.

  Working out of the Central Auckland Office, I managed the technical store fit outs for Speedy Signs, EmbroidMe, and Contours Gym. This role included setting up newly purchased stores—everything from location scouting, to store layout, office set up, acquisition of machinery, staff recruitment, and training. My position facilitated a turn-key start for new franchise owners. Highlights included the set-up of the Queenstown and Nelson EmbroidMe stores. Pay them a visit and you’ll see why.
