The Waikato Sheds Team

Jason is the General Manager of Waikato Shed Company taking on this role in 2020 after starting in shed design and sales.

He is still involved in the day to day designing of sheds and manages the process from consent to completion.

Jason has a real passion for sheds since living on his 5 acre lifestyle block in Kaihere on the Hauraki Plains.

He has over 300 sqm of sheds which he has modified and built to now contain, a gym, workshop, bar, office, games room and extensive space to store things that could come in handy one day.

He is married to Farida and they have three teenagers who keep them busy outside of work at the hockey turf playing and coaching. Jason is always happy to listen to your ideas and help turn them into a plan and make your shed dreams happen.

Proud of a great Team that is committed to delivering great results to our customers. Brian has owned and run Waikato Sheds since 2005 setting up in the old fruit shop on his 70 acre apple orchard in Eureka. The company has outgrown the old fruit shop so a new 490sqm show shed/office has been built.

Shane is the Operations Manager of Waikato Sheds and has been with the company since July 2018. Shane and the other members of the Operations department take care of the projects once council consent has been approved. He prepares the plans, liaises with the necessary contractors, orders the shed material and ensures the construction of the sheds runs smoothly. He also works with kitset clients to make sure they can complete their project with ease. Shane has two trades under his belt, he first spent 10 years building luxury power boats in both New Zealand and Australia before trying his hand at Coach building where he gained various metal working skills. Shane and his partner Erika are parents of two young children, daughter Cleo and son Jude, along with dog Millie. They are renovating their home which includes a nice new shed with a sleepout but most importantly a workshop. Shane is excited to put the workshop to use making furniture and shaping surfboards.

Maria joined the team mid 2018 & now leads the office staff as Finance and Consents Manager.

She is a qualified Accounting Technician & is the number cruncher of the company. She is also responsible for preparing building consents for our clients.

Maria has a small lifestyle property in Taupiri where she lives with her husband & their pets.

When Maria is not at work she can quite often be found at race tracks around the country supporting her sidecar racing husband.

Sharon is an integral part of our team, expertly managing the paperwork and ensuring seamless operations in the office.

Embracing a less stressful role, Sharon now thrives on a four-day workweek. Her versatile skill set allows her to support staff across the business, making her role both varied and dynamic. From handling initial inquiries to ordering kits and costing the final project, Sharon is involved in every stage, ensuring smooth progress and success.

I have been in the construction industry for the past 8 years, owning my own Window & Door factory for a number of years and before joining Waikato Sheds I was Construction/Project Manager for a couple of years for a residential building company. I understand how a building goes together and love seeing designs on paper come to life.

It is awesome to help people achieve their dreams and make them a reality, whether it be the ultimate Workshop, Mancave, Teenage sleepout area or just a place to store what is precious to you.

When not at work you can find me at home in Paeroa recycling Pallets into outdoor furniture, or heavily involved in Family life, my teenage son keeps me very busy being his Uber on the Plains.

Glenn has spent the last 20 years working in the Design and Build sector for Residential Homes, predominantly with GJ Gardner Homes Waikato.

Now with us he is the perfect person to help turn your shed dreams into reality. With an amazing knowledge of the construction industry and all the pitfalls to look out for Glenn is the man to have in your corner on your build journey. When not at work Glenn keeps active with golf, tennis, trail walking and spending time with family and friends.
