Magazine - Auckland Irrigation Service Team

By Parkland Press in Industry News on 22nd Feb 2010 6:00

The 3-person Auckland irrigation service team boasts a unique blend of experience, commitment and personality – lead by Service Manager Selwyn Matthews, ably assisted by Rob Baxter & Mark Andrews.

Mark is the newest member of the team, joining Parkland in February 2009. A qualified greenkeeper, he came from Titirangi Golf Club where he maintained, developed and operated their TORO irrigation system. Last year, Mark broke his leg playing “social” grade soccer and was off work for a month or so. He wasn’t completely out of action, however. Mark and partner Chelsea are expecting their first child in May!

Rob is well-known to Parkland customers in the top half of the North Island. Our resident comedian and excellent public speaker, Rob has been with Parkland for almost 5 years, primarily in a sales role. Rob has a real passion for irrigation and has been involved in a number of our more complex projects. He joined the company after many years with Aquaflow, an Auckland TORO irrigation dealer. Rob and his
wife, Helen, have 2 children.

Selwyn is another who needs no introduction. He joined the company 6 months before Rob and, in the 5 years since, has earned a reputation for his incredible worth ethic and irrigation knowledge. During the past year, Selwyn has worked on many interesting projects including the installation of Auckland Golf Club’s new TORO irrigation system and Ashburton District Council’s IRRInet wireless control system at their new waste-water treatment plant. Fortunately for us and our customers, Selwyn doesn’t play soccer – he hasn’t got time. Home, when he is there, is in Pukekohe with Terri-Anne and their 2 children.

We are proud of this outstanding team. They can and do deal with any irrigation service need – from complex, control system maintenance to sprinkler repairs. For more information please call 09 415 0300
