Craig Holyhead
​Craig is a qualified carpenter and has been living in Queenstown for 3 years after moving from the UK and enjoys the lifestyle and activities this beautiful part of the world has to offer.  Craigs favourite part of the job is the variety of work we do and knowing that no two days are ever the same!  He has been in the trade 8 years and still enjoys learning new skills and expanding his knowledge of construction.  When Craig is not busy on the tools you will find him spending time with his partner, playing with his dog or kicking around a football.

Elie came on board with us at the start of 2022 as an apprentice after moving to Queenstown from Tahiti. He enjoys making the most of the mountain in winter and getting out on the lake in summer and “bringing island vibes”.  As well as studying to complete his apprenticeship, Elie is in training to compete in his first body building competition, so when he’s not working hard for us on site he’s working on his muscles at the gym.
