Paul has worked in a range of industries both on the tools and in a management capacity and believes in strong communication and attention to detail. When Paul can catch a break away from work you’ll find him at home with his young family, renovating their home or traveling the country on the back of his bike with his Motorcycle club.

Mark Pepperell
Founder and Director
Founder, human encyclopedia and guru of the industry, Mark is invaluable to the culture of this company. He is the original Good Bugger! He blames technology for everything, but admits you just can’t live without it!

Daniel Pepperell
Director & Compliance Manager
Daniel has been in interiors for the past 16 years in a variety of roles. Always looking to make continues improvements, he is now heading up Compliance and systems within the company. Not afraid to be vocal or change the way ‘normal’ business is done in the construction industry, he is passionate about interiors and the people that work within it. He believes it is a lessor known trade that does a large part of the work and deserves more recognition. This drive for change has inspired Dan to successfully become the President of the industry association, the AWCI. Daniel started his own business in Tauranga in 2006, building it from the ground up before joining with Marks business in 2015. Daniel also has over 15 years experience working on not for profit boards, both locally and nationally; he believes good governance is a key to success. Daniel has a passion for coffee and gets really annoyed at cafes that don’t know the difference between a Long black and a Americano!

Tony Eleftheriou
Site Manager

Aidan Leckenby
Senior Estimator
Hailing from the UK, Aidan is an experienced estimator with a background in Interiors. With attention to detail and a focus on making sure the customer knows exactly what we have allowed for, he is regularly complimented by main contractors as having the easiest to read and understand written quotes. When not being a star of the estimation world, Aidan loves spending time with his wife and young family, renovating, drinking craft beer and generally being awesome.

Ingrid Hollard
Accounts Payable Manager
Ingrid has a passion for getting things right (Must be her dutch heritage!) making her perfect for processing and paying hundreds of bills a month. If you cant see Ingrid, you can always hear her laughing from somewhere in the building!

Joel Pepperell
Facilities & Maintenance - Contracts Manager
Joel started with Tika, learning his trade before transitioning to the Commercial team to become an estimator. He has worked hard to gain more skills in the commercial team, and now heads our Facilities and Maintenance division. When Joel isn’t working at Tika, he is at home, working and living through a major renovation!

Chris Jespersen
Contracts Manager
Chris is a great support to Mark, acting as his 2IC in the Waikato branch. Chris has 15 years industry experience, with a background in full internal fit outs and aluminum joinery, he encompasses a wealth of knowledge and experience; including but not limited to, programming, resourcing and health and safety. When he can break himself away from work, Chris enjoys playing golf and hanging with friends.

Quentin Beer
Site Manager

Jayson Junio
Site Foreman
Jayson has been a part of our team since 2018 – he has great experience in the industry and awesome people skills which makes him the perfect Site Foreman for our company. Jayson comes from a Filipino background, this explains his constant contagious smile and happy demeanor. Off the clock, you’ll find Jayson chilling out with his lovely family.

Khushal Karsan
Estimator
Mild mannered and softly spoken, Khushal is an aura of calm in a sometimes bustling office. Quietly working behind the scenes, Khushal is an experienced estimator and is making his mark with clear and precise work.

Cameron Oosthuizen
Senior Quantity Surveyor
Starting as an Estimator, Cam has worked his way up to Senior Quantity surveyor due to his attention to detail, sharp wit, and willingness to get things right. He is the office joker and has made up a nickname for everyone within the organisation! He is a sport fanatic, and is a die hard fan of the Springboks. Since winning the RWC, the office banter has increased significantly.

Richard Cliff
Contracts Manager
Richard and his family are originally from South Africa and have found true contentment since moving to New Zealand. Twenty-two years of experience in the construction and interior fit-out industry; coupled with a commercial honors degree, Richard enjoys the challenges of aligning operational efficiency with commercial viability. He is a keen “waterman” spending much of his free time ocean paddling, kayaking, fishing or just chilling down at the beach.
