Meet the Team

Michael Coyne

Founder

Michael is the man that started it all. He moved to New Zealand in 1957 and went out on his own in 1967. Like virtually every Wellington drainlayer from those days, he’s of Irish descent! His favourite hobby is watching the horse races, which is a family affair too.

Laurence “Laurie” Coyne

Director

Laurie leads the family business, working with clients on planning and design, organising the guys on the job and working on the business to deliver the best possible result to more and more clients.

While Laurie gets behind the Hurricanes and Phoenix like any other Wellingtonian, ‘his team’ would actually be the West Tigers. After an Australian mate took Laurie to a match, he’s been hooked. Once a year Laurie crosses the ditch to support his team (Amanda goes shopping!).

Amanda Coyne

Office Manager

Amanda is an Office Manager and Mum, too. She was born in Lower Hutt where she did well in school and went on to study MedLab science through Massey University. After working in a lab for seven years, Amanda decided on a change and studied for an MBA.

Today she’s full time working in the business and full time raising kids! Her favourite hobbies, when kids allow, is going to the gym or yoga classes.
