SPONSORED POST: New owners for local Totalspan

Providing a fresh and modern approach to Totalspan Nelson, new owners Andrew and Diane Crompton are strongly focused on building on the success of the businesses already solid reputation.

Moving to the region from Napier in December of last year, the talented couple took over the business in early March and say they have never looked back.

A family-run business, Andrew is a fully qualified engineer who has spent the last 14 years in an operational role in the heavy fabrication industry which focussed primarily on the steel bridge market, both nationally and worldwide, and Diane’s extensive fine art background gives her an exceptional eye for all things colour and design, making them a perfect fit for their new roles.

Their daughter Nicola has also joined them in the business leading all accounting and marketing roles for the franchise and their two experienced and qualified builders round out the skilful and professional team.

"We really appreciate the business we have purchased, understand the importance of operating it properly, and are keen and capable of developing its future potential,” says Andrew.

“The Totalspan brand is a household name in New Zealand, and everyone is familiar with the ‘Who can, Totalspan!’ catch phrase. Being able to support the brand and in turn receive the support and backing of the Franchise is crucial to our development into the region.”

The couple say they place immense value on the business they provide to all their customers and building long-term relationships with them is of the highest priority.

“With a renewed and refreshed approach, we look forward to meeting with you to deliver all your steel building needs. At Totalspan, we pride ourselves on being New Zealand’s leading customised steel building experts delivering quality, affordable buildings that are designed and built for life. We value our relationship with the community and are excited to hit the ground running, with the possibility for expansion a key consideration, all while building on our community outreach.”

The advantage of Totalspan buildings is that everything is customisable, says Nicola.

“There are so many options with what we can do. Dad is incredibly resourceful and creative, and his skillset aligns perfectly with what we are wanting to achieve and being an artist, Mum is great with colours and able to visualise the final product and assist with design choice.”

Whether customers are looking to build a garage, shed, rural or and commercial steel building, Totalspan Nelson have the perfect combination of sizes, colours, and specifications.

Covering the whole Nelson Tasman region from Collingwood to Nelson Lakes, and Rai Valley across to Murchison, the team can help clients from conception right through to completion.

“We do it all! We prepare the council consent application and will arrange the final Code of Compliance. Our services suit everyone. The product can be as simple or as complex as the customer needs. People can simply order a kitset and build it themselves, or we can complete the entire process.

We can provide a no obligation free visit to inspect your site and will design a building to suit your site and requirements. We will work with you to create a building which is personalised specifically to your needs, ensuring your needs and preferred design are effectively met.”

Each project is designed, manufactured, and built from conception to completion, and the innovative Totalspan Research and Development team continually provides new and improved products to the range. “All of our buildings are NZ designed and engineered with material being sourced through the New Zealand Steel Mill.

All of our building components are manufactured in our Christchurch factory and are subject to stringent quality control procedures, ensuring confidence on all Totalspan products.

As proud supporters of the community, Totalspan Nelson are key drivers in the regions Undercover Kids Bus Shelter Programme.

The significant initiative is aimed at protecting children as they wait for buses on rural school routes. Many parents and communities worry about children waiting along the side of busy roads with no protection from the weather.

The Undercover Kids Bus Shelter Programme helps reduce the risk to those children by providing a safe location for them to wait for their bus. The programme has been running for many years and has already contributed to hundreds of new bus shelters across the country.

“This project is extremely important to us, and we understand the importance of maintaining these for the community. It is a fantastic initiative and one we are very passionate about.”
