Goodman - doing the good stuff A major development is taking shape in Hawkes Bay thanks in part to the expertise of Goodman Contractors Hawkes Bay. The Mission Hills project, spearheaded by Carrus Corporation, is just one of many where Goodmans' specialized equipment and skilled workforce are making a signi icant impact. The company is undertaking the cut to ill operations using specialist motor scrapers, showcasing its ability to handle large-scale earthmoving projects e iciently. "We have built a good relationship with Carrus Corporation and are working alongside them to help them to develop the site," says Ed Goody, contract manager for Goodmans HB. Goodman Contractors has been a cornerstone in New Zealand's earthmoving industry since 1963 when brothers Rick and Tony Goodman started the business with a single Fordson CD50 bulldozer. What began as farm work quickly expanded into subdivision development in Porirua, setting the stage for decades of growth and innovation. Today, the company remains a family a air, owned and operated by Rick's children: Stan, Lance, Vaughan, and Marianne. This continuation of family leadership underscores Goodmans' commitment to its vision of creating a family-run sustainable contracting legacy with a long-term commitment to the industry and people. Goodmans' leet is a testament to its dedication to staying at the forefront of earthmoving technology. The company utilizes Trimble machine control systems across the range of equipment, including excavators, compactors, and bulldozers, ensuring precision and productivity on every project. "We're always excited by new and innovative technology that can help us run as e iciently as possible," says Ed. Over the years Goodmans has left its mark on a diverse array of projects throughout the North Island, including roading, quarries, wind farms, rail infrastructure, lood protection, and even archaeological sites. This versatility is backed by a highly skilled workforce and a well-equipped workshop comprising ten di erent divisions dedicated to maintaining the leet. Goodmans' success is built on more than just machinery. Ed emphasises the importance of the company’s experienced sta : "We have the management capabilities, including civil engineers and a veteran project management team, to come up with the right methodologies to reliably carry out a range of solutions. Importantly, we also have high-quality operators who are focused on getting the job done." With over 50 years of experience and a clear vision for the future, Ed says that Goodmans is poised to continue its legacy of excellence in earthmoving for generations to come.
