As a Mechanical Engineer I have spent the last 30 years in the engineering industry working in various engineering disciplines. I took over as General Manager from my father and co-founder of Page Macrae Engineering, George Macrae, in 1992 when he retired.  These days the general day to day running of the company is run by a capable team of Managers led by Mike Lehan as General Manager of the Company. I am kept informed and up to date on a regular basis allowing me to provide the overall strategic management of the business.

I joined Page Macrae Engineering in 2000 as Contracts Manager running the Projects Department and have recently taken on the General Managers role from Ian Macrae. I have over 25 years experience in the engineering industry spanning Australia and New Zealand which has included chemical process, mechanical engineering and implementation of capital projects. I have had the opportunity to be involved with Page Macrae Engineering through an exciting high growth period which is set to continue well into the future. I am looking forward to the challenges ahead and working with the team to achieve our goals. .

Following my education in Hamilton and Tauranga and several office jobs, I moved to London for 6 years with my husband.  We travelled extensively basing ourselves in London where I took on some challenging roles in the corporate world of investment banking. I commenced employment at Page Macrae Engineering in 2005, taking up several office administration roles until my current position as PA to the Managing Director (Ian Macrae) and General Manager (Mike Lehan). I enjoy a challenge and have many interests that include cycling, golf, travelling and watching NZ beat anyone in rugby.

I was born and educated in Tauranga. After working for KMPG Chartered Accountants for 7 years, I embarked on an OE which saw me contract management accounting for 6 years in London. Following my return to New Zealand, I joined Page Macrae Engineering in 2004 in my current role as Company Accountant. I enjoy all types of outdoor adventure activities in particular skiing, mountain climbing, tramping and general fitness.

I trained and qualified in the UK prior to emigrating to NZ in the 70’s.  Upon arriving in NZ I undertook a variety of work within various industries such as domestic building and commercial fishing.  I then returned to the UK in 1979 on a 2 year contract to develop and promote a new range of lifting equipment.  Returning to NZ I was both a Plant Manager and Chief Engineer for Affco NZ for 14 years.  In the mid 90’s I joined Page Macrae Engineering. My role as Production Manager sees me specialising in multi run production fabrications and welding. During this busy time I still managed to go hunting, fishing and play golf (down to a 13 handicap).  For further information see: Production Manufacturing

My 30 years experience in engineering began with Page Macrae Engineering in 1980. I have gained experience in petrochemical, ship repairs, chemical plants, pipe work, storage tanks, pulp & paper plants, machinery repairs and forestry equipment. I then moved to Australia for eight years and worked in engineering making concrete moulds, repairs to earthmoving equipment and some structural work. I returned to NZ and rejoined Page Macrae Engineering, working in different departments before joining the Production Department. For further information see: Production Manufacturing

Upon returning from my OE of 8 years living in Tokyo Japan in 1998, I started working as a stevedore at the Port of Tauranga. It was the nature of this work that ignited my interest in health & safety. I became involved in H&S – both from a Union and company perspective. Seeking more knowledge, I enrolled at Massey University, completing a Graduate Diploma of Occupational Safety & Health (GradDipOSH) in 2008. In January 2012, I started as a fulltime H&S Advisor for Page Macrae Engineering. I passionately believe in the right for everyone to go home from work with all their limbs and their health intact - so that their lives can be lived to the full with the ones that they love. When not working I continue to enjoy skydiving – an activity I have enjoyed for 30 plus years and 5000 plus jumps.For further information see: Health and Safety

I began my engineering career, with an apprenticeship in Waipu, Northland in 1976.

I spent the next 17 years working on many engineering projects, including London’s Big Ben Clock Tower, the Centrepoint Tower, NatWest Building and Shanghai’s HSBC Building.  In 1998 I returned to New Zealand, where I worked for Stewart & Cavalier, in Te Awamatu, for 5 years. I joined the Page Macrae team in 2003, initially working in the Stainless Steel department before moving into the Manufacturing department. In 2009, I took on the new role of Apprentice & Training Co-ordinator. This role entails managing the Page Macrae Apprenticeship Program along with Competenz, to ensure that all of our apprentices become quality trades people.
