Utemaster, located in the Kerepēhi In- dustrial Park, was established in 2007 by the Cartwright family, and is headed by brothers Tony, Sam, and Jacob. Since Christmas, they have hired 20 staff, with more jobs still available. “From humble beginnings with a team of only three, we now have more than 60 staff,” general manager Tony Cartwright said. “We’re now looking to hire more locals to join us in the next stage of the business.” Utemaster creates ute accessories such as hard lids, canopies, flat decks, and service bodies, as well as a variety of other recreational and commercial ute solu- tions. After outgrowing three facilities throughout the Thames Valley, Utemaster moved into its purpose-built facility in Kerepēhi in 2018. “Moving into a bigger premises allowed us to bring more manufacturing capabil- ity in-house, which improved our product quality and lead times,” Tony said. “In this facility, products for up to 450 utes across New Zealand and Australia are made in one month alone.” Utemaster, located in the Kerepēhi Industrial Park, is looking for 10 new staff.
