Whilst Brent often provides the team with hours of comic relief, his real talents lay in his ability and persistence in solving complex engineering problems for clients. With over 20 years of professional mechanical engineering, machining and toolmaking experience, Brent is a powerhouse of engineering knowledge. His attention to detail and ability to look at challenges holistically means - whether he's doing the work himself or leading the team - his clients always get the right result.
Brent is a car enthusiast, so when he's not working, he'll often be busy in ‘the shed' working on some really cool stuff.
Jason is a highly experienced industrial services professional, and the very proud business owner of Qualtex New Zealand Ltd. Whilst Jason has owned and operated electrical service businesses in various forms over many years, the purchase of Qualtex in 2012 provided for the opportunity to expand on his ability to solve challenging engineering problems, by incorporating a substantial quality mechanical engineering offering. But, engineering and business talents aside, most people will tell you that Jason's greatest strengths stem from his passion for people - developing and fostering longstanding and trusting relationships with integrity.
Outsi de of work, Jason is a passionate Waikato masters hockey player. He plays for Suburbs Piako and also loves to coach junior hockey.
As operations manager, Joe is an important focal point - connecting our clients and the Qualtex team to get the job done. Joe always leads by example; his extensive experience overseas in the UK, Italy, USA and Malaysia with SKF as a field service engineer, and his background in the production engineering and power generation industries, has culminated in the ability to pass on over 40 years of expert engineering knowledge to the team and clients alike.
Afterhours, Joe loves being on the beach with his dogs, going fishing, watching rugby and spending time with family and friends.
