If you haven't already heard the news, we're excited to officially introduce Jeff Prestidge as Excavat's new Managing Director!

Jeff has hit the ground running — getting around the sites, meeting the team, and even getting his hands dirty operating the box blade and a 13.5T Hitachi. He comes with a strong background in business development, relationship building, and financial management, and brings fresh energy and a genuine enthusiasm for where Excavat is headed.

Jeff will be working alongside Joel Thomas, as the two drive the business forward together.

A huge acknowledgment to Bert Hamilton for everything he has built. Jeff steps into this role with real respect for that foundation and plenty of drive to take it forward.

Exciting times ahead for the Excavat team. 💪

Kerbs and channels taking shape at the New Plymouth District Council Elderly Housing project!

Forming and pouring in-situ cast kerbs and channels on site — guiding stormwater where it needs to go and giving the development that clean, finished edge. All part of the civil package we're delivering for Livingstone Building NZ.
