The people behind The Glass Guys

We’re a family-owned team of glaziers, apprentices, and support crew based in Rotorua, servicing the Bay of Plenty and surrounding districts. Whether it’s urgent repairs, a home upgrade, or a commercial install, you’ll deal with real people who take pride in doing the job properly.

Owners

Gary

Managing Director - Owner

I started my glass apprenticeship here in Rotorua fresh out of high school and have over 20 years experience in the industry both in NZ and abroad.
I have always aspired to be a business owner so when we opened The Glass Guys company in 2016 it was a dream come true.

During my spare time I enjoy hitting the golf course, the beach for a good days fishing and a swim, pig / stag hunting and clay bird shooting.

Jenn

Operations Manager - Owner

Prior to being The Glass Gal and becoming a mum, I spent the first 10 years of my working career in finance and insurance. Running our own company has been a life long dream of mine. Even with all the highs and lows the glass game and business ownership throws at us.

When I'm not being The Glass Gal, you will find me running in the forest, dancing at a concert or exploring new places with the fam.

Our team

Kane (2016)

Glazing Manager

With 19 years in the glass industry, I began as an auto glazier and later completed my apprenticeship in flat glass glazing. Now working as a Glazing Manager, I value working closely with our entire team to deliver efficient service, high-quality workmanship, and strong outcomes on every job.

In my spare time, I enjoy being outdoors with my wife and two children, especially hiking, mountain biking, and bowhunting.

Brittany (2018)

Senior Administration

I joined the company eight years ago as an office administrator and have since moved into quoting and estimating, a role I really enjoy.

At home, life is shared with my husband Isaac and our very fluffy cat, Molly. We bought our first home two years ago and are loving the process of renovating it together.

I’m happiest when I’m out walking in the redwoods or experimenting with new cooks and bakes in the kitchen — my cheese scones have become a firm favourite around the office and workshop.

Sarah (2021)

Administration

I’ve been part of the team at The Glass Guys for nearly five years, where I handle a variety of administrative responsibilities and enjoy keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes.

Outside of work, I’m married to my husband Brendan, and together we’re raising our two beautiful daughters, Peyton (14) and Lilah (10). When I’m not at work, I’m usually busy running them to dance and soccer, or relaxing with my family at our caravan at Thornton Beach.

Brock (2022)

Qualified Glazier

I’m a proud parent of five wonderful children and a dedicated weekend golfer. As a glazier, I bring precision to every project, from intricate glass splashbacks to beautifully crafted shower installations. I balance my passion for craftsmanship with family life and a love for chasing that perfect golf swing.

Travis (2022)

I'm a qualified glazier and I enjoy doing all scopes of work here at The Glass Guys. I enjoy how much variety of work there is in our glazing industry.

In my spare time I enjoy playing and/or watching football and other sports, a bit of gaming/anime and spending time with friends/family. I am also very fond of cats and other animals.

Kiwa (2023)

Apprentice Glazier

I have a passion for people and the outdoors. I have worked a lot in hospitality and in tourism businesses here in Rotorua. I’ve now been apart of The Glass Guys team for 3 years and counting. My knowledge base has improved a lot since I’ve first started and if all goes well, I’ll be a qualified glazier in the next year.
