Meet the team at New Zealand Radiators

Posted on 28 June 2022 by George Rose

What happens when you buy from New Zealand radiators?

You benefit from a team effort that makes sure you get a high quality radiator, at the right price, so that your workshop customers drive away happy, and stay happy.

Lesley, the office manager will put you in touch with Luke or Nick, who both enjoy the challenge of finding you the right radiator. That high quality radiator will have been sourced by Glen, who has led the New Zealand sales operations since 2008. Glen's choice of manufacturer will have been aided by director Chris, and signed off by Dale, the owner of New Zealand Radiators.

By travelling around the world to personally inspect manufacturing processes, the team at New Zealand Radiators works to ensure that they source the right assembly that's as close as possible to OE.  There are many variants in radiator assemblies, with some surprisingly small differences, and New Zealand Radiators have worked hard to ensure that the specified solutions are fit for purpose, delivering real value for money to customers.

Who are New Zealand Radiators?

One of the reasons we like NZ Radiators is that they are true grounded Kiwis, and are the epitome of the great people we have living and working in New Zealand.

Dale has been involved in the radiator trade for over 30 years, with a huge knowledge of radiator intricacies and supply. He spends any available spare time (of which there isn't much) working on his project Mustang, or will be out on his Suzuki riding the beautiful South Island roads and trails.

Chris studied at Canterbury University before his winding career path brought him to NZ Radiators, via a stint as commercial director at PGG Wrightson. Working for NZ Radiators has enabled him to come back to Canterbury, where many of his family also live.

Glen not only sources radiators from reputable and consistent manufacturers, he also works to design and manufacture custom radiators and other cooling solutions. Glen is a busy man, he has his own car restoration project on the go, juggling that with two young children, gardening, and DIY projects.

Nick is a master when it comes to the minute differences between radiators, but elsewhere he's also a master of the darts board.

Luke, a recent addition to the team, spends his spare time working on his Holden Commodore, and is dad to three bright young sparks.

Lesley does an excellent job as office manager, sorting out issues for customers. She and her husband are often out attending car club meets, or whiling away time on their boat.

If you're in need of a high quality radiator, at a good price, then wherever you are in New Zealand you'll find that New Zealand Radiators is the team for you.
