Geoff has over 30yrs experience as a Digger Operator - He started in the industry working for his Uncle Gary at Adcock & Donaldson in Nelson. He learnt Mole Plowing & Rock sawing, Mole Tunneling & Digger Operating. In Nelson he did pretty much everything with diggers - from trenching to climbing up hillsides to build house floors.

After Nelson he started doing Dairy Conversion & Farm Maintenance work. He worked throughout the Westcoast, Buller and Canterbury districts building cow races, stock banks, hump & hollowing, clearing land, pulling trees down, building effluent ponds and everything else that farm & lifestyle blocks need.

Geoff has experience in every service we provide. He can do every part of the job & uses his experience to train our staff. If you want to know more go to our services page.

Geoff works hard & plays hard. He likes to ride Dirt Bikes, Road Bikes & Mountain Bikes. He enjoys Hunting for Deer, Pigs, Possums & Hares/Rabbits. He likes Fishing, Snorkeling & Surfing. Just like work he tries to give everything ago.

Before opening Adcock Contracting with Geoff Kate raised 4 mini Adcocks or as we like to call them - future employees.

Now Kate has her hands full with all the behind the scenes stuff. She pays accounts and staff, does all our banking, insurances, follows up invoices and liaises with accountants, lawyers and other companies. She helps with hiring new employees and makes sure everyone has what they need. She also makes sure Geoff doesn’t blow the budget at the coffee shop.

In her free time she enjoys designing, renovating, painting, reading, crafts and catching up with friends and family.

Skye is 2nd in charge, she runs the crew, organizes the schedule, subcontractors and over sees the T packages and other trenching work. When she’s not in the office or running around after the team she’s on the digger & running her own jobs - either trenching, landscaping or whatever else is needed.

She quotes all our work, does invoicing and keeps track of what’s happening on site. She helps the crew with sticking to time frames and advises them with all parts of the job. She fixes problems and signs off completed work. She works with customers to ensure everything goes smoothly and the customers are happy. She is well versed in the council specifications and expectations. She’s been updating all our systems, policies & this website.

In my free time I like doing creative stuff - Painting, Designing, Renovating, Digital Drawing & creating Board games.

Jacob is our youngest employee - he joined us after leaving school. Is is a general Labourer and certified in First Aid. He is being trained in everything & proving to be a natural. He’s a good spotter and good on the hand tools, he’s a natural on the digger and has been helping Geoff with digging out & building an effluent system in Maruia.

Jacobs hobbies include riding his Dirt bike & Road bike, Surfing, Camping & Gaming with his friends.
