Here's a little bit about us

Our Story

We’ve never shied away from a little attention. We launched in 1996 with a name that was intended to turn heads, and we succeeded.

Our founder was a very handy father-of-four in need of extra funds. When a friend of his wife watched him work on their house and quipped “Could I please hire your hubby?”, his business idea was born.

These days, the people who start businesses with us are no longer limited to handyMEN. We have many women who have key roles in successful franchises around the country, growing high performing businesses and trusted customer relationships. But our name remains, as a tongue-in-cheek nod to the way things were.

Today, we’re a nationwide network of skilled professionals who are first choice for home maintenance, building, repair and renovation services. We have over 12,000 regular customers who come to us with over 70,000 jobs per year. Our yearly sales exceed $8 million NZD - and we’re in more demand than ever before.
