Our People

Continuous Northland

Roger & Karen Talbot - Owners

Born and raised in Auckland, Roger began his life with Continuous as a 16 year old school boy earning some extra money in the school holidays, joining us full time in April 1994. After five or so years and with a lot of experience up his sleeve, he took some time out to live and work in England with his lovely wife, Karen - working as a chippy as well as assisting with the set-up of Continuous Guttering UK. On their return to New Zealand, Roger and Karen joined Colin Warn at Continuous Northland and in time set up Barracuda Ceiling Battens and Northland Spouting Specialists. 

By 2009 their team strength and passion for the industry saw them in a position to buy out Colin and today Northland Continuous Spouting have tripled their market share and are the trusted rainwater specialists in both the domestic and Group Housing market.

Matt originally from Auckland, started his career in the roofing industry (where he and Aaron first meet) which later lead onto installing Fascia and Spouting after gaining employment as a contractor with Continuous Waikato & Bay of Plenty Limited. It is here that Matt & Aaron started working together again as a Lean Mean Fascia Installing Team and saw the potential for the business to grow and leaped at the opportunity to purchase the business.Their complimentary skills and vast product knowledge within the renovation and construction industries provides a great service to builders and homeowners throughout the entire Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions.

Continuous Taranaki

Geoff & Julia Milligan - Owners

Born and raised in Zimbabwe, Geoff and Julia looked to move to New Zealand in 2001 with their very young family when they realised the political situation there was becoming untenable.  When Richard Mabin offered Geoff the opportunity to contract to Continuous Spouting in Auckland, he gratefully grabbed it and so began their journey with a company that supports and invests in their people. With a background in sales and heavy farm machinery, Geoff enjoyed the people contact and challenge of learning new skills installing spouting and downpipes. Once the children started school, Julia joined the Continuous team in the office, working for 10 years mostly in marketing and administration, utilising her skills from a sales and customer service background in Zimbabwe. Over the years they have embraced life in New Zealand, particularly enjoying camping and the outdoors and have loved watching their two girls grow and flourish.  With their inevitable flying the nest, they have now seized the opportunity to grow the Continuous brand into the Manawatu and Taranaki and look forward to combining their complimentary skills and customer focus to serve the building and homeowner community.  

Continuous Hawkes Bay

Mark Lawson - Owner

Mark was born and raised in Napier and, upon leaving school, completed his Carpentry apprenticeship to become a qualified builder. After his "OE" to Australia, he settled in the Hawkes Bay, becoming a roofing contractor for Carters in 1990. A short break from the industry saw Mark start up Rooftech Hawkes Bay in 2002, which has fast become one of the largest roofing companies in the region, supplying and installing all roofing products, including metal fascia and gutter.

Mark and his team have a reputation for providing an excellent standard of workmanship and service, so joining the Continuous Group in June of 2016 meant a perfect fit into a great brand. They are excited to now be in a position to grow this sector of their business and provide their loyal customers with even better product ranges and services.

Continuous Nelson/Buller & Marlborough

Pete Hoare - Owner

Born and raised on a sheep/cattle property in South Canterbury, Pete attended a boarding school in Oamaru and later attended Lincoln College, graduating with a Diploma in Agriculture.  After working for a time on the home farm, he left on his O.E., ending up in Australia and working a number of jobs to gain funds for his commercial helicopter licence.  Once he had obtained that, Pete enjoyed a few years flying in North Western Australia and the Northern Territories, visiting home on a number of occasions.  On one such visit in 1994, he reconnected with Richard Mabin and Hec McQuarrie where the opportunity arose to set up Continuous Spouting in the Nelson and Marlborough regions.  By 1995 he had his first machine and began to set the foundations for what is now a very successful business, highly respected in both the commercial and domestic sectors of the industry.

Pete, his lovely wife Amanda and their two children are very established in the Top Of The South, involving themselves in mountain biking, kayaking/surf ski racing and lifesaving, tramping and all manner of outdoor pursuits.  In Pete's words, "We really treasure our lifestyle here and wouldn't give it up for quids".
