“We started out with 30 people
when we started the business,
and now we’re at about 150,” says
Holland. “We started out with one
office workshop, and now we have
five throughout the North Island
of New Zealand.” This significantamount of expansion over the last
two decades has brought IMG’s
progress into different market
sectors and different industries,
through both organic growth and
acquisition.
“Bruce Bonner, our owner, is quite
entrepreneurial,” says Holland.
“His strategy has been to look for
opportunities in the market to grow,
and to find synergistic businesses
that will blend in well with our core
background capabilities. We’ve
been able to acquire businesses,
put good management behind
them and bring them back online as
efficient, profitable businesses.”CONSTRUCTIONhttp://www.img.co.nz 109INTEGRATED MAINTENANCE GROUP NZ
