Over the years we’ve expanded our expertise to include Outdoor Living environments – a field where we’ve gained a strong reputation in the industry.

We are specialists who pride ourselves on exceeding expectations. Our award-winning team strives for perfection and places integrity at the heart of all our work, bringing you the optimal balance of style, functionality and quality.

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 to Nourished for Nil. But we’re only just getting started.
