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 of designing sheds and managing the process from consent to completion.

Jason has a real passion for sheds developed 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 now which 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.

Sharon is a key member of the team handling the paperwork and making sure everything runs smoothly in the office.

Looking for a less stressful role Sharon is now enjoying working four days a week. She supports all staff across the business making this a varied role which suits her wide range of skills. From the initial enquiry through to the ordering of a Kit and costing the finished job, Sharon will have some involvement at each stage.

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.
