Putting the customer first The Ashburton branch of Smith and Sons has been the top performing business in the entire group and Anna attributes that success to the personal touch. “We have Wayne Tuck, the ‘Salesperson of the Year’ for Smith and Sons and he is a real people person, assisting with the finer details from the fittings to the floors. Then we have Paul who contract manages, meaning our customers feels comfortable when they meet the business owner and he’s involved in their project; his 25 years of building experience comes in handy too.” With more than 60 outlets in New Zealand and Australia, Smith and Sons is becoming well recognised throughout the country and abroad, yet the individual owner operators retain the small business feel.
“Smith and Sons is a nationally recognised brand with a great reputation,” Anna says. “We provide a full service for our customers from concept and council consents right through to completion of the finished project. Our clients love how we are able to take the pain out of the construction process by providing a single point of contact and accountability for the entire job.”
“We operate in a relatively small town so if you do a bad job, word spreads pretty quickly. That is the reason we focus all of our attentions on producing quality to meet our customers’ expectations. We still get jobs from word of mouth and the fact that we continue to win awards is an added bonus and our success is certainly our best form of advertising,” Anna says
Whether the customer requires a renovation on their bathroom, kitchen or even a full scale project, Smith and Sons Ashburton has the expertise and network of subcontractors to complete any task to a consistently high standard.
With a solid team of four qualified builders and two apprentices, Smith and Sons Ashburton work as a well oiled machine, incorporating its subcontractors into the tight knit operation that has bestowed so much success on its owners.
