Twenty years on and he and co-founder Lisa Mills-Albert are directing a business employing 90 or more full-time staff, backed with an impressive fleet of heavy machinery and service vehicles. “We have come a long way and are extremely proud of what we’ve been able to achieve,” David says. This is very much a family business, with Lisa’s brother Paul Albert at the helm as general manager, (and newly appointed as a director and shareholder). Together, they have developed a caring and supportive business culture. David says they like to treat each and every member of their team as whānau. Mills Albert started with a focus on forestry roading but that part of the business has since evolved into a separate company offering a full suite of forestry services. Core civil services offered by Mills Albert today include drainage and infrastructure (such as stormwater and sewerage), rock supply and placement for coastal and river protection, Gabion construction and earthworks. As well, the team undertakes temporary emergency works, such as clearing slips. Coinciding with their 20-year milestone, Mills Albert received a Merit Award at the CCNZ Wellington Wairarapa branch awards in May for a climate resilience project – Te Awa Kairangi Site 6.
