About Us
The "ToolMan Trust" is based in Waitakere City, Auckland though it's objectives and services are for all New Zealanders. Its purpose is to bring to the lives of every New Zealander hope, and a better living environment. our aim is to provide leadership and positive direction to all those who take advantage of what we support and offer. Our goal is not "monetary" profit but our "profit" being in the lives of every New Zealander being made better. Though our initial goal is directed at our homes it is also a complimentary goal to foster and nurture greater family and community values.
We don't aim to act in competition to existing services but to be there in a complimentary way to help develop better and greater returns on the efforts being put in now and also to develop new levels of service. By providing leadership and positive direction it is also our intention that improvements can be acheived with as low a cost impact as possible. Also by drawing on a combination of 'experience with age" and also taking advantage of "youthful energy and openmindedness" around us, it is our goal to collate and develop these potentials for the greater good of NZ.
A term, I myself have used in the past in regards to a young child was the saying "1, 2, 3, "Fua"(4), though then in that instance it was to pick up the child. Now "Fua" is a Tongan word meaning "To carry in two hands" and it is my personal intent or focus to use this meaning in relation to the goals of the "ToolMan Trust". It also means our focus in providing support and services to the NZ public will be with this level of authority or as Maori would say with "Mana".
I, myself have had over 25 years experience in the building industry and my own family has had involvement for nearly 50 years now. It is the intention of the "Trust" to draw on a mixture of experience and youthfulness so as to generate an ongoing spirit or character that will retain the "real and true' character of New Zealanders.
As I have often said it is time for all New Zealanders to "stand up,stand tall and stand together" in regards to lifting standards in this country. We all have different individual strengths but by creating a "team" contribution we can present a solidarity that will stand for many years.
My own mind often drifts back on my early life growing up in a small country town here in NZ. It was a place where you just about knew everyone to the extent that if you did something good or bad it was soon "local" news etc. Looking back I think it's taught me just how much anyone of us can mean to someone else, even tho we may not even be conscious of being an influence of any kind. That life in that small country town has and still is having influential touches on my life.
