Bronek Szpetnar
Design and Shed Sales
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 Ngatea recycling Pallets into outdoor furniture, or heavily involved in Family life, my teenage son keeps me very busy being his Uber on the Plains.
