He’s a wonderful asset to the team.

One of our newest team members, Callum. Born in Australia, Callum and his family moved to New Zealand back in 2014. With his quiet nature, Callum has been learning the ropes of our inwards goods position. When he's not scanning products in store you can find him working down the isles keeping things in check. 

Originally born in Auckland, Hone has travelled over the world working in hospitality. Finally, has he come to settle in Whangarei, taking on the challenge of paint systems. It’s been great seeing Hone progress his knowledge over the past few weeks, we are excited to have him as part of our team.

Maggie joined the Wynn Frasers team back in 2017, while she pretends to be our shop mascot her main role is to lead our debt collections operation. Some say her bark is worse than her bite, but she doesn’t think you’d like to find out! Maggie really likes working undercover, she’s often laying back in the sun relaxing, but don’t worry she’s always keeping an eye out! At nearly 50 years old, (in dog years of course) she’s still fast enough to get from the office to outside of the front door before any of the staff members can catch her!

Maggie loves when children come in to visit, especially to give her a scratch behind the ears! She is also aunty to our very own head of security, Wynn!

Kim is one of our newest members here at Wynn Frasers. She has a keen eye for both performance and classic cars, as well as motorbikes. Kim is currently working within our household side to further her knowledge more. Kim is an absolute family and animal lover, fostering and volunteering when she can for the Ruakaka dog rescue. With a heart of gold you can always trust her to tell you what’s what!

Joining the team in 2020 Sharelle is one of our newbies. A Gen X we are looking forward to some new perspectives that will add value to our business. Coming from the hospitality industry we are also looking forward to the introduction of a new skill set into the business. Sharelle is taking control of our paint mixing facility and colour matching services. Three weeks in and she says she loves it, that's great. An animal lover and a really creative mind to boot. Expect to see exceptional service from Sharelle.

Kelvyn has recently joined us in our automotive kitchen after nearly 30 years on the tools himself! Falling into the industry at only 15 years of age, Kelvyn has definitely had all the experience! His knowledge also extends to most things automotive, when he’s not smashing out colour matches, he’ll be at home tinkering away with his own projects!

One of our newest members to the Wynn Frasers Team, Nico has had a warm welcome to New Zealand since moving here in May of 2022. Working in our Inwards goods station, Nico is starting to adjust to our large product base. A lover of surfing and skating, he is a bubbly young individual. We are excited to have him on board and can’t wait to see his knowledge progress. 

Our new big boy Wynn! At only 18 months old, he's already weighing over 60kgs! With a goofy and playful smile its hard to take him serious, but he doesn't joke around when it comes to security! He can often be seen hiding out the back, occasionally you'll hear him yell out for a quick pat and play. Once he's got you in his sights you don't leave unscathed, he'll attack you with licks and cover you in drool!
