Blair Landon celebrated 25 years of service at Higgins. He started his construction career as diesel mechanic at Glover Contractors, which we later acquired. He rose in the ranks and in recognition of his leadership and commitment to the business Blair became Higgins Waikato Operations Manager in 2019. He currently leads the Transportation Team and ISO 9001-certified workshop, supporting the wider Waikato operations business.

Blair says it’s been a long journey. “I had no kids when I started – now I have five young ones, the oldest being 20 years old and the youngest 2 years old.”

“I can’t believe how fast it has gone”, he says. “There’s been a lot of changes since I started in 1999, with massive improvements in safety management systems and innovations, including M5 plant tracking location and utilisation to make things easier. We’re constantly improving, and I look forward to seeing where another 25 years with Higgins will take me.”
