Mary, who was a lawyer in another life, runs the local and international businesses from the Metalier Headquarters in Henderson, Auckland. Mary handles international inquiries and marketing and overall direction of the business with plenty of challenge from the others in the team.
Mary is passionate about good design and loves the concept of "metal as art" which sums up Metalier's business perfectly. Mary is also very hands-on answering queries from our international customers and distributors. Their success is Metalier's success.
Humour, as we've said, is an important part of our business and the relationship among the company directors. "Eat cake for breakfast" on the bag in the picture sums up Mary's sense of humour perfectly. It's both good design and its fun!
Richard who was born and bred in England joined us as Creative Director on 2nd July 2022. We first met Richard on 1st June 2020 when he introduced himself to us by email. It took the intervening 2 years and a bit to persuade Immigration that Richard would be an asset to Aotearoa/New Zealand.
Richard was educated at Middlesex University Art & Design Foundation Course and then went on to Nottingham Trent University where he gained a BA Hons in Graphic Design.
During his working life Richard has spent 14 years as a director of a liquid metal company in London that specialized in creating unique works of art, objects, lighting and decorative surfaces for the world's finest private residences, superyachts, luxury hotels and leading galleries.
As well as creating beautiful designs now at Metalier, Richard will be offering technical support as required to our many international distributors and applicators.
