FROM NZCB —

Putting our partners in the spotlight New Zealand Certified Builders (NZCB) is proud to partner with a wide range of companies with multiple branches nationwide. These companies have aligned with the Association to provide significant support to our members and have the option to engage with them across a wide range of opportunities. Known to the Association as “National Partners” we are delighted to tell you a little bit more about two of them.

Introducing The Trades Coach

Introducing APL Window Solutions

As a professional business advisor, mentor and coach since 2006, Andy has helped a wide range of private business owners address their frustrations, improve profitability and lower their stress.

APL Window Solutions have been delivering marketleading products for 50 years.

Since 2012, he has specialised in working with the owners of construction related businesses to build systems and profitability into their operations and has been a National Partner with NZCB since 2016. With a Bachelor of Commerce degree from Auckland University in Financial Accounting and Marketing Management, Andy’s skill set complements very well with his builder-clients. It’s the business management areas that are often the weak link for builders and his specialist knowledge, together with his “walk with you” approach, is uniquely successful. Construction is a hard and risky business and sometimes the rewards don’t match up. That’s the Trades Coach’s mission. To re-balance the risks and efforts that owners invest in their businesses with the rewards they receive. To help you get unstuck and move to where you want to be. He offers a complementary business review and strategy session for NZCB members.

APL Window Solutions is part of a fully integrated vertical supply chain that’s dedicated to excellence. Each part of the business concentrates on its role in delivering market-leading products to the New Zealand building industry. We’re committed to innovation and improvement you can trust: always wanting to develop a better-performing window or to improve our impact on the environment and our communities. Everything we manufacture is designed and tested specifically for New Zealand’s unique landscape, weather and aesthetics. It’s then distributed nationwide to our independently owned manufacturers who fabricate and install the windows and doors into kiwi homes. These dedicated operators work on a wide variety of residential and commercial projects and are the exclusive suppliers of APL products through our three brands: Altherm, First and Vantage.
