Metwood

Talk topic: Stuart will take you through the various processes related to powder coating of wood grain finishes for aluminium and steel - from design to application and show you examples of projects where this technology has been utilised.

Speaker BIO: Stuart purchased the Powder Coating Group in 2019, and has set about growing the business since then. The first major initiative was the introduction of woodgrain finishes for aluminium and steel, a product that was used widely around the world, but had little presence in NZ.

Prior to that he was an investment banker in Auckland, Sydney and most recently Hong Kong, where he raised equity capital for companies across Asia. Stuart now lives on the Northshore with his wife and 3 children.
