16 Years in Business
Sixteen years ago life was much different for
us. I was the New Zealand service manager for a computer imaging
company in the printing industry and Melanie was at home looking
after our 11-month-old daughter. I was away working so much I
was not seeing my daughter grow up, so we made the decision to
start Hunkin Garden Products Ltd. Melanie would go back to work
from maternity leave and I would become a house husband, look
after our daughter, and start the business.
Life for me became a mixture of pooey nappies,
housework and a mail order business. It was a great experience
looking after my daughter and I soon became the fix-it man at
the local playcentre. Every playcentre needs at least one token
bloke.
Sixteen years on Melanie and I have two children,
and now work full time in the business that operates from our
home on a 7-hectare block on the side of the Waikato River in
Tuakau. From day one we decided our point of difference would
be that we would only sell reliable practical products, and the
only way to determine this, was to use the products ourselves
on our own farm. Melanie to this day still thinks it was just
a great excuse for me to own lots of farm and garden equipment.
Since those early days the company has grown and
we now offer a range of practical products. We knew we had to
overcome the perception that purchasing a machine from a dealer
where you could see the product was safer than purchasing from
a picture in a catalogue. Since we use our equipment ourselves,
we knew it was good, so we decided to offer a right of return
on all machinery - a first for New Zealand. To this day I think
we are the only company with enough confidence in our equipment
to let customers try the machines for themselves on their own
property for a month. And while this could be open to abuse, we
believe most people are honest. After all, customers trust us
to supply the goods when they send their money.
