Craig is the owner of Speedy Signs Manukau, which he bought 10 years ago, and Speedy Signs Pukekohe, which he opened 7 years later. New to the signage industry, he quickly grew to love the range of products and variety of customers he gets to meet. Craig speaks English (and can order a beer in several other languages), and outside of work he keeps fit, cooks, loves fishing and tends to his veggie garden — always with something chili-related close at hand.

He enjoys the camaraderie of the Production Team and the daily banter in the workshop. Eru speaks English and Tongan, and outside of work he keeps fit through kickboxing training, having competed multiple times in the sport. He’s also known for his fondness for ranch sauce.

Liam is our Junior Signwriter and has been with us for just over a year, learning the skills needed to become a great signwriter. He enjoys working with his hands and keeps fit by going to the gym regularly — so he can enjoy eating out. Liam’s favourite condiment is Sriracha
Louie is a Senior Graphic Designer and our chief operator of all things machinery, with 20 years of experience at Speedy Signs Manukau.

Paul is our Divisional Manager with 33 years in the trade, starting back when sign writing was done with a brush — in his case, left-handed. He’s been part of Speedy Signs Manukau since day one, bringing expertise in sales and operations. Outside of work, Paul enjoys rugby and motorsport — but nothing beats the fun he gets from keeping his BMW M2 immaculate. Favourite condiment is garlic aioli.
