Real stories from electrical businesses growing with NZ Trade Group.

 

"Being part of NZ Trade Group has given me a strong network of fantastic electricians to share experiences with and refer work to. It’s helped my business in so many ways - I’d tell anyone to join, you’ll never look back."

Scott Brownie, Jace Electrical Services - member since 2021

 “Katipolt was a game-changer - not only is it already the best software in the industry, but it’s constantly being improved to meet members’ needs. It’s helped streamline my business, making it more efficient and more profitable."

Mark Nixon, Couchmans Electrical - member since 2012

"I’ve made some of my best friends here. In a trade where mental health support can be lacking, knowing you’re not on your own is priceless. This group offers knowledge, discounts, systems, and most importantly - genuine support. I wish it had been around when I was starting out.” 

Paul Sievers, Devonport Electrical - member since 2012

"Katipolt has been a game-changer. It lets me create sharp, professional quotes that save me time and truly represent the work we do. The supplier connections, support, and community of like-minded sparkies are an added bonus.”

Andrew Russell, Switch Electrical - member since 2012

 “I joined NZ Trade Group for the whole package - especially Katipolt, which has been a real game-changer. What I value most is the support. Any time I’ve needed help, I know there’s someone there who’s got my back. For anyone considering joining - absolutely worth it.” 

Andy Sun, Sun Electrical - member since 2025

"I joined NZ Trade Group for better job management, fairer pricing, and the support of a wider network. Katipolt has been a game-changer, constantly evolving to meet members’ needs. The training, education, and supportive community make it invaluable for small businesses."

Cam Smith, Energised Electrical Ltd - member since 2023

"Being able to network with other electricians who aren’t direct competitors is huge. The support has been outstanding too, when I had a solar question, my Regional Manager instantly connected me with three members who all went above and beyond to help. That kind of support is priceless."

Paul Casey, PC Electrical - member since 2014

"What stands out most for me is the support. No matter how big or small the question, the team is always there and ready to help. Joining NZ Trade Group has been one of the best moves I’ve made for my business.” 

Luuk Hermens, Motueka Electrical - member since 2021
