Gartshore established their Auckland operations in 1989. It was the “post crash ” years where a large proportion of the joinery and interiors industry collapsed amidst the 87 crash, Gartshores seized the opportunity and invested heavily to establish themselves in Auckland at that time. They specialise in retail interiors, commercial interiors, and commercial joinery sub contract work. Bill Gartshore says ” We knew we were good at what we did but for some reason we just couldn’t seem to be able bust into the Auckland market because we were perceived as a Tauranga based company not Auckland based. So we took the opportunity via the crash of 87 to establish a base in Auckland , and it all grew from there”
