The Douglas family
Pete and Suzanne, Owners
Douglas began a new chapter in early 2018, with new owners Pete and Suzanne coming on board to continue the legacy of innovation, craftsmanship and creating customised solutions to perfectly fit our customers’ needs.
Alongside the Douglas business, Central Hawke’s Bay locals Pete and Suzanne are raising their young family and making the most of the rural outdoor lifestyle in the Hawke’s Bay.
The Team
Our team at Douglas are a talented bunch of in-house fabricators and problem-solvers with many years of experience. We’re a diverse group, with a great mix of skill sets, age groups and backgrounds. It’s this diversity that helps us see things from different angles and come up with creative and innovative solutions.
Values
At Douglas, we believe in training great people and building careers. From apprentice fabricators to installers, our warehouse and logistics team right through to office and showroom staff, we want our people to develop and grow.
We also strive to be responsible corporate citizens and to always exceed the expectations of our customers, staff and the wider community.
We’re doing our bit to give back. Right now, that means things like sending our shade off-cuts to relief efforts in the Pacific and donating an awning and protective COVID screening to Nourished for Nil. Then there’s our Discount + Donate campaign which raised nearly $14k for two of our local lockdown heroes, NZ Red Cross and Nourished for Nil.
But we’re only just getting started.
