Managing director Brett Russell oversees a long list of developments for the Russell Property Group, which is part of the family-owned Russell Group of companies.
Brett Russell has spent more than 35 years in the construction industry, ranging from trade experience and training through to company ownership and management.
The Russell Group business was started by his late father Alf back in 1965. It now employs 900 people and, apart from Dominion Constructors, includes Russell Gordon Contracting, Stresscrete Auckland and Otaki, and New Zealand's largest scaffolding company, Acrow.
As well as luxury apartments and hotels, Russell has delivered projects ranging in diversity from streetscapes and rail facilities to prisons and warehouses over the past four decades.
“At its heart, this is a family business and, as such, its culture reflects family values,” Russell says. “We pride ourselves on being down-to-earth, good to deal with and true to our word. We’re strong but fair, friendly and supportive of one another. Our approach is hands-on and, when we say we’ll deliver, we do.”
