Bringing water solutions to your doorstep

WORDS AND IMAGES BY ANNIE STUDHOLME

 

Built on more than 50 years of manufacture and supply to the civil and agricultural sectors, Hynds Pipe Systems’ newly minted Ashburton branch proudly opens its door.

For decades Hynds Pipe Systems has been supplying Mid Canterbury, both rurally and civil, through its Christchurch and Timaru branches. Now, the team at Hynds Pipe Systems Ashburton is excited to bring its comprehensive range of products for drainage, waterman, stormwater, wastewater, and rural application direct to your door.

Founded in 1973 by John and Léonie Hynds, the family-owned Hynds Group of companies, is New Zealand’s premier product supplier for the management of water and water-based waste in the civil and rural infrastructure market. The group employs more than 1,000 people within its New Zealand and Australian operation.

John Hynds’ early passion, innovation and tenacity shaped a business where people mattered and relationships were built on trust, with customers at the very foundation of the Hynds philosophy. Those family values continue to be at the heart of the business today, underpinning its ongoing success and growth.

The opening of its new Ashburton branch in April marks Hynds’ 36th branch to open across a network of merchant branches nationwide and reflects the company’s commitment to mid-Canterbury and the people within it, says Hynds Pipe Systems Ashburton Branch Manager Mike Cannan.

A Mid Cantabrian born and bred, Mike grew up on a farm and has a background in the rural sector, as well as extensive civil construction industry knowledge. He has previous experience both on the road and in management.

“I am very passionate about the local area, local people, and the wider Ashburton region. I feel very privileged and excited to be in this position. It’s great to be able to supply products that are already well-known and trusted in the market, and I’m very excited about the prospects going forward.”

Tony Foster joins Mike from the irrigation sector and brings with him a wealth of technical knowledge and experience in the rural market, including stock water design.

The three-person team is rounded out by Teresa Hamill, who along with her extensive rural retail sales experience, has an in-depth knowledge of the dairy industry.

With such a wealth of knowledge and experience in-house, Mike says the team is equipped to work with contractors, farmers, consultants, and councils to design customised solutions for complex drainage, rural infrastructure, water supply and waste treatment solutions. Hynds’ product range is diverse, supplying more than 40,000 product types for drainage, watermain, environmental, industrial process and rural applications.

“We can do anything from large scale residential projects and lifestyle block irrigation, through to servicing all your on-farm water requirements and provide all the products that go with it. We have a wide range of pipes and troughs, as well as all the fittings and valves associated with it,” says Mike.

The Ashburton Branch serves rural customers from north of the Rangitata River to the Rakaia River. Backed up by the Hynds’ fleet of 70 delivery trucks, it can guarantee reliable stock availability and delivery.

If you are looking for advice—civil or rural—then Mike and the team at Hynds Pipe Systems Ashburton will be glad to help you find a solution.

Locals serving locals. We’d love to hear from you.
