Girls rule the world at Edgesmith!  Our roles include – CFO, Operations Manager, Marketing, Internal Sales Team Leader, Estimators, Fork lift operators, Accounts, Customer Service & Blissy, our Furry Stress Manager.

We are Maori, Kiwi, Australian, South African & Swedish.

Before we even think about work, we are feeding our 7 dogs, 16 sheep, 6 fish, 3 birds and one cat.  Then it’s taking children to pre-school, primary school, high school, organizing birthday parties, weddings, looking after Grandchildren, celebrating Uni graduations, organizing meals.  Oh the Hats we wear!  

We love INK and between us we have 54 tattoos!  We also have a Black Belt in Karate, been a professional Make-up artist, acted in Shortland Street, hiked to Mt Everest Base camp, been to Santa’s North Pole Residence in Rovaniemi, Finland, one of us is even working from a boat in Fiji.

At Edgesmith we live by the 5 H’s: 

  • Hungry –  to achieve
  • Happy – in life & attitude
  • Humble –  we are successful together
  • Honest – with each other and our customers
  • Healthy –  Mind, Body & Spirit.

We all love our jobs and find Edgesmith both challenging and rewarding.  All of us have started in Customer Service Roles and through hard work, research, and study at night time we have proven worthy of promotions.  

Some of us have been with Edgesmith for over 10 years and our new colleague has been with us only a few months.  

Our message is – never doubt your ability and always aim high.

Michelle, Sonya, Ursula, Hannah, Fiona, Mandy, Ellie, Tanya, Anika and Blissy.
