"Harward+Son NZ ltd have continually ensured from the outset of their facilities and maintenance works, that they are well prepared, meet all works requirements and embrace Defence Estate and Infrastructure safety protocols.

Harward+Son prides itself on quality, diverse capabilities, and engineering excellence and have demonstrated that their safety systems can merge professionally and practically with NZDF Defence Estate & Infrastructure".
New Zealand Defence Force - 2023 Best Initiative by a Contractor National Award
Harward and Son have completed several jobs at our Defence Area in the last five years. The two most significant were project managing and manufacturing an aircraft suspension system in the Air Force Museum atrium in 2022 and undertaking major remediation work on the older hangar doors and door rails in 2023.
During both periods of work David and Matthew’s team were consummate professionals. Their communications were excellent, timely and cordial; they were always attentive and responsive to questions or developments, recommending various solutions to problems and implementing them as requested; their time management was first-rate, even when delays or deliveries were frustratingly out of their control; the team held themselves to demonstrably high health and safety standards and took care to ensure their working environment had as little impact on the surrounding areas as possible; and the quality of their workmanship was superb in every instance.
I wouldn’t hesitate to contract Harward and Son again and would highly recommend them for any industrial engineering project or consultancy.

"David is a very personable, knowledgeable, well-organised team player. David took the lead on our Early Works Master Data project. With his commitment to the success of the project and his drive to do it right the first time made him an excellent person to take the lead of our group. David was able to bring a diverse group of people together to collaborate and work together to achieve the results that were expected of the project. I look forward to having the opportunity to work with David again"
Russ Carrick - Suncor, Maintenance Reliability Planning & Scheduling Alberta Canada
"David was Maison Mazel's Executive Business Director for both the USA & Canada.
I found his identification, evaluation of new and potential business as well as his ability to strategically position activity to capture this business very valuable.
This was a critical success factor for our company as we were in the intital phase of establishment in introductory markets.
Key among his many attributes is his people skills, not only were these skills critical for his roles with clients, but also with his interaction with senior management, peers and staff positions"
