Case Studies

Higgins Contractors operates in two major business areas: civil contracting and roading infrastructure and the manufacture and supply of products including concrete and aggregates to the construction industry. Since this family-owned business was established in the 1950s, it has grown to 1,200 employees and continues to experience staggering growth. By 2017 the company expects to double its employee numbers.

Alex Reid, Regional Contract Manager, Higgins Contractors Bay of Plenty, shares what's behind this growth and how his company is collaborating with Priority One, the Port of Tauranga and other businesses in the region to take full advantage of it.
