History The family owned and operated McWatt Group Ltd has a proud history that stretches back to the mid-1800s. Leaving behind a dangerous occupation in what was an unpleasant place to live at the time, coal miner Laurence McWatt and wife Sarah left industrial Scotland for Auckland in 1863 in search of a better life. They became farmers on allotted land on the Awhitu peninsula and started a family â the descendants of which also became farmers throughout the greater Auckland region. Post WWII Laurenceâs grandson, Alvon âMacâ McWatt, who had a cream run in East Tamaki, started his own business as a hay contractor and this soon e volved into general contracting and earthmoving services. The 1970s saw the formation of Excavation Services Ltd (ESL) and trucks and excavators were now part of the companyâs fabric â and responsible for the growth that saw the company move from its original Whitford Road site to a larger, better suited location at Neales Road. Upon Alvonâs retirement, his three sons operated their businesses from ESLâs Neales Road yard and since the amalgamation of the companyâs distinct portfolios it is Laurenceâs great, great grandson, Murray, and his son, Shane, who now operate McWatt Group Ltd from the same Neales Road site.
