OUR STORY
OUR STORY
Ben was a pretty keen footy player growing up, schooled in New Zealand, played age grade representative rugby for his provinces up until 21 years of age and finished with winning the Auckland premiership with Silverdale in North of Auckland. Ben grew up working in his families businesses, in his Grandfathers saw mills and fathers earthworks company and on the farm, getting paid $20.00 a day - Arguably child exploitation : )
Upon leaving school he worked again both for his father and grandfathers businesses until setting off to Europe on a quest to " go where the wind blows". Plenty of adventures unfolded and worked for kiwi construction companies in London as a labourer and then went onto many other adventures including through France.
Returning to New Zealand at 25 when the Christchurch quake hit Ben spent the next 2 years fixing quake ravaged homes and developing within the industry further.
( Novel continued below )
27 rolls around and Ben shifts to NZ's big smog, Auckland, and starts Cashmore Contractors Ltd and completes a 4 year Carpentry apprenticeship.
Ben later develops on to complete award winning homes, becomes a master builder and carry out small to mid sized land developments privately and on behalf of client and government.
At 32 Ben meets his beautiful fiancé Lawryn. Mind blown, he falls in love. As a result Ben is introduced to Canada and the opportunities it holds. Together Ben and Lawryn settle here in Canada and begin to build their empire. History in the making as they say.
Ben is, a multi award winning master builder, completed projects ranging in the multi millions. He really has worked hard to fit in masses of learnings in his 37 years, (evident in holding qualifications and licenses in both Canada and New Zealand) now, ready to bring NZ to the world and do what we small island Kiwis do and punch above our island nations weight!
