TRADIE OF THE MONTH with Maddren Homes

Sourcing precious swamp Kauri and transforming it into bespoke wooden floors isn’t the easiest thing to do, but that’s exactly what Brad Gurney from North West Flooring Xtra did for his client. And his dedication to the project and the client has now earned him the Maddren Homes Tradie of the Month nomination.

It was a complex job that required a lot of preparation, finishing and liaison with the client, but Brad and his team did a brilliant job with the highest level of workmanship, which resulted in a thrilled client.

Good on you Brad, you’ve earned yourself a voucher from sponsor Western ITM.
