Based in Gisborne, Jesse James Contracting operates throughout the East Coast right down to Wairoa, delivering a diverse range of projects to larger contracting businesses like Fulton Hogan, as well as the horticultural and forestry industries. Most importantly, Jimmy says it is a real family business. “My dad always had his own business and I wanted that as well, and I am here now. We have a total team of twelve, including Charlotte and myself. The business was also a big nudge for our son Jesse who is involved in the business along with several other family members. We have two daughters who will also be joining the business to help Charlotte manage the o ice.” From the early beginnings two and half years ago armed with a ute and a shovel, Jesse James Contracting has amassed an impressive array of contracting machinery including bulk metal trucks, excavators, bulldozers, a grader and a roller. “Project wise, we are currently building a small residential subdivision for Fulton Hogan, doing No cowboys at Jesse James Contracting For all your Earthworks & Drainage requirements Servicing the Gisborne region 027 238 9418 jessejamescontracting101@gmail.com everything from earthworks, utilities, drainage, through to the house sites. That project should be inished by the end of June. We are also helping Fulton Hogan with lood relief around the area, doing a lot of the technical work including bridge abutments. We have a contract to do all the land contouring, roads and services for Craigmore’s extensive apple orchard development in Tekaraka. For Aratu Forestry we are very involved helping with their big clean up of slash following the loods, and we also build roads for them. For various other housing developments around the region we specialise in drainage work and putting in septic tanks in.” With a lifetime spent in the industry, including a decade spent in Western Australia and Queensland building up the funds to launch the business Jimmy and Charlotte are both extremely proud of what they have achieved in such a short period of time. They are also very grateful to the local East Coast community that has supported the growth of Jesse James Contracting with a good low of interesting work and projects. “At this time when the community really needs us, we want to give back to the community with the donation of gear, time and materials,” says Jimmy.
