Millwater ROMEOs

The July outing of the Millwater ROMEOs (Retired Old Men Eating Out) saw 9 of them visit Roofing Industries based in John Glenn Avenue, Albany, where they were warmly welcomed by the company’s Managing Director, Dave Gellatly (pictured here on the right).

Roofing Industries is one of the four major long-run roofing rollforming businesses operating in New Zealand and is the only one privately-owned, with branches throughout New Zealand and tuning over in excess of $100m per annum.

Dave gave us a rundown of the company’s history, from small beginnings in the original factory in Bush Road 18 years ago, up to the present day. Then it was off to two of the factories to see first-hand the roll-forming machinery being used to transform mainly Colour Steel into completed roofing materials for both residential and commercial uses, most of which are delivered to site via the company’s own fleet of vehicles. Each of us was able to take away a brochure explaining and illustrating the various roofing profiles which are manufactured.

Following our visit, we took a short journey to Altura Coffee & Café for an excellent lunch before returning to the organiser’s home in Millwater for afternoon tea and cake, where everyone was greeted by the Master of the House, Bobi the resident spoodle.
