Meet The Team

As a 5th generation member of the Lund family, Jamie’s memories of C. Lund & Son Ltd go back to boyhood when he spent many of his school holidays working in the company’s joinery factory and precast facility. Jamie trained and worked as a civil engineer prior to taking the helm at Lunds Joinery in 2019 and is now focused on ensuring the knowledge held by the factory’s long-standing staff is passed on to its younger team members. His experiences as an engineer – from ensuring the on-going safety of New Zealand’s aging hydro dams to advising construction companies how to assemble large, complex structures – have given him valuable knowledge of the modern construction environment, where things like 3D drafting and CNC machining are the norm. Jamie has a real interest in engineered timber products and prefabrication – and the exciting opportunities they present for the construction industry. He enjoys working as a team and loves seeing what can be achieved when people in the industry pool their skills and resources together.

Mark knows the joinery trade from the ground up, and is the first port of call for new and existing clients at Lunds. As our commercial manager, he is responsible for sales, pricing and making sure we deliver exactly what our customers ask for. Mark is a deft hand at estimating the cost of projects; he loves a good spreadsheet and enjoys the challenge of figuring out the scope, volume, materials and timeline of joinery projects. It helps that he’s a trained joiner himself, having first graced our factory floors as a joiner in the 1980s, and that we now have computer programmes that help estimate materials and costs based on drawings. Mark says one of his more memorable projects as a joiner was helping to refurbish a huge kauri timber feature from the 1800s in Christchurch’s former courts buildings.

Liza describes herself as “an office manager on steroids,” which is fitting, as she is in charge of accounts, payroll, systems and administration. She also has the important job of keeping the Lunds team in check. Liza prides herself on being able to dig into any system or process, whether it’s recruitment or financial reporting, and figuring out how to improve it. She says working at Lunds has opened her eyes to the craft of joinery and she is happy to see the company is moving forward and embracing modern technologies without losing its core values of quality and craftmanship. Not one to sit still, having completed her Bachelor of Business – majoring in accounting at Massey University, Liza is currently studying NZES – Construction Estimating and Surveying.  A gardening fanatic, she also runs a local gardening group and recently completed a National Certificate of Horticulture and NZ Certificate in Organic Primary Production.

Scott first joined us as a joinery apprentice in 2010 and, after completing it, went on to become a qualified builder. Our commercial manager lured him back to Lunds in 2018, where he took a seat in our office as a contract manager. Scott now works with Willie when it comes to overseeing Lunds projects from contract to completion. Scott gained valuable hard skills through his trades, but enjoys the variety of his current role. He spends his days creating production drawings, ordering materials, coordinating materials and organising subcontractors. Every now and then, he gets back to a building site to conduct site measurements or help with installs. When he’s not at work, Scott enjoys spending time with his family, listening to music, fixing phones and other electronics, and also getting away somewhere quiet to go camping.
