We think it’s a fine time to start introducing you to our fabulous Green Homes New Zealand teams. First cab off the rank, or should we say first brick in the wall, is Auckland’s brand new team of experienced industry experts, two stellar team members, Rodger Scott and Bruce Schultze, coming on board over the last two months.
Rodger Scott
It is with great enthusiasm that we welcome Rodger Scott to the Green Homes New Zealand family as General Manager, Auckland. Rodger brings to Green Homes a wealth of knowledge and experience from 38 years in the industry. He is also very well decorated from being a critical part of his previous team’s award wins, so no pressure Rodger!
Cutting his teeth as a building apprentice straight out of school, followed by a decade being self-employed as a builder, Rodger has subsequently engaged in scaffolding and both residential and light commercial construction, managing both residential building and scaffolding firms and further expanding his experiences within the building industry. With breadth and depth of industry experience, Rodger is also very well versed in managing and running a business with experience across all areas of general management, project management, HR, sales and marketing. Rodgers passion sits with people, contracts and ensuring a once in a lifetime experience for clients (and handing over that new key).
