MEET THE OWNERS

 

Steve Galbraith
Owner, Operator, Trainer

Steve has spent his whole life in the industry, starting off on the family farm operating tractors and machinery. He has always loved the thrill of learning how to handle a new piece of equipment but it’s knowing that a job has been done well that fills him. In his capacity as Owner/Operator he is really enjoying mentoring younger crew members. As a twice Winner of the National Excavator Competition, he now enjoys giving back to the industry that’s given him so much by being one of the Judges at the same annual event.

Kelly-Anne Galbraith
Owner, Administrator

Home-grown in Hawkes Bay, Kelly-Anne has a background in beauty therapy, childcare, has worked as a pilot and owned and operated small businesses. She has been one half of Galbraith Earthmovers full-time for the past four years, and loves every minute.
