Max Carruthers

 

 

 

 

Director / General Manager

 

 

 

 

Born and bred in Gisborne, Max qualified as a diesel Mechanic then spent several years overseas in the open cast mines in Australia as a heavy engineering Maintenance Engineer.

Returning home he started Endeavour Sheetmetals Ltd in 1978. He acquired Gisborne Engineering in 1991. The acquisition gave him a much larger workshop for the sheetmetal side and also allowed him to gain the benefit of a great depth of engineering skills from a good strong team. An expansion in 1995 -98 doubled the business service area and in 2001 implemented a progressive policy to update vital machinery & plant which has left the company in good stead to face the 21st century.
