    The history

    Managing director John Haycock commenced working life in structural engineering design (calculations and drawings for building structures), and with a lifelong passion and experience in competitive yacht racing, he moved on to working for a yacht mast manufacturer for 7yrs, before finally setting up his own self-employed business in 1985. 

    John is also qualified NZCE Civil/structural, and has wide experience with yacht masts, rigging and racing. This combined with the structural design knowledge and many years of metal fabrication experience ensure that Metal Fabrications Ltd can, and have, manufactured a wide range of professional products. John's son, Tom has also worked in and out of the business all his life and gained many skills (factory skills of fabrication and welding but also installation and maintenance).
    He initially went into the building trade but joined the business full-time in 2008.
