There’s a saying around here: We invest in people worth investing in. Doing so has seen the Dempsey Wood team grow from five friends in 1993 to a family of over 540 today. It doesn’t matter who you are, you’re a part of the Dempsey Wood family too. As a 100% family-owned New Zealand business, we’ve always maintained strong family values despite our growth.
Our whānau is a tight-knit network of diverse individuals; and once you’re a part of it you’ll always be a part of it. Even our subcontractors have been with us for over 20 years.
We pride ourselves on great company culture; we are positive and inclusive, we have a great work ethic, and we are always doing our best, no matter the situation or project.
