Michael is a fantastic role model for our younger staff. His work ethic is second to none, with energy in abundance and a vast skillset. Growing up on a farm, Michael has always been hands-on and involved with rural contracting. After finishing school he started a building apprenticeship in his homeland of Ireland, spending a total of 6 years building there. At 21, Michael made the jump and emigrated to the land of Oz where he worked in various roles – farming, building and operating heavy plant. He has been in NZ since 2012 luckily spending much of this time at Strathclyde. Michael has a passion for making a difference and loves his involvement in bringing people’s building dreams to fruition.

Eoin grew up in Limerick, Ireland and has always loved making things out of wood. Having started building straight after school, Eoin has honed his skills over the years winning the same Master Builders National Supreme Award alongside Lucas. Eoin has an eye for the finer details which is clearly demonstrated with the bespoke furniture he produces in his spare time. When not building at Strathclyde, he assists with his wife’s and his sustainable Earthlove business “saving the world”. When not working with wood and saving the world Eoin can be found out on his motorbike. We can’t praise Eoin enough for the fantastic work he puts out, surpassing our client’s expectations.
