Founded in 1995 by Paul Christie, who has 35 years of experience and remains at the helm, the company has experienced remarkable growth with a current team of 37 professionals dedicated to maintaining its reputation as a leader in the transport engineering field. A significant milestone in Ten4’s journey involves the recent acquisition of additional premises at 14D Gumdigger Place, Whangarei, for expansion of the manufacturing division. Manufacturing manager Shaun Dodd, along with his right-hand man Jacob Monk, leads operations at this new location. Paul says Shaun’s journey from apprentice to a key managerial role exemplifies the company’s commitment to nurturing talent from within. “The company growth has been substantial, and the addition of extra manufacturing division premises allows us to further streamline our operations and accommodate our expanding team efficiently,” says Paul. “It’s great to have the extra space and being so close to the original workshop at 32 Gumdigger Place, which is now used exclusively for servicing and repairs, managed by Gareth Eady, means we have the flexibility to share resources and staff to meet our clients requirements.” The move not only enhances operational efficiency but also reflects the company’s commitment to adaptability in the ever-evolving engineering landscape. Paul says that Ten4’s success is anchored in its ability to offer a comprehensive range of inhouse services spanning design, engineering, manufacture and plasma cutting. “We are known as the ‘go-to’ company for fleet maintenance, complex welding jobs, and repairs. Our services extend beyond traditional transport engineering to encompass general engineering, making us a versatile solution provider,” says Paul. “We are about delivering solutions. Our team excels in turning ideas into reality, whether it’s designing the stage for the Rugby World Cup or creating innovative solutions for pump station safety,” explains Paul. Ten4 manufacturing operates across a spectrum of industries, working with various metals such as aluminium, steel, and stainless steel. The team offers an array of services, including MIG and TIG welding, guillotine cutting, roll folding, and more. Its expertise extends to designing and manufacturing specialised projects like the Vodafone ‘Big Red’ Rig and modular holiday homes. It is supported by the design division, equipped with cutting-edge CAD programs allowing it to deliver large-scale and intricate projects across diverse industries. “Whether managing production in-house or collaborating with manufacturers worldwide, our design division ensures the seamless realisation of our clients’ visions,” says Paul. Transport engineering still remains the mainstay of business. Paul says that Ten4’s core competency lies in transport engineering, making it Northland’s most versatile fabrication specialist. The company is equipped to handle a wide array of projects, from custom-built accessories and parts, chassis repairs and load anchorages to constructing entire truck and trailer bodies. The company’s accolades include winning the 2017 Westpac Business Awards large business award and runners up in the health and safety award, a testament to its commitment to excellence.
