As Sales & Service Coordinator, enjoys the variety of serving the customers at the counter, organising the warehouse, loading or unloading product for delivery and working in the yard; Judith holds a class 2 license and is F endorsed – she spends time with new recruits showing them the ropes and giving best training and advice in this area.

Judith enjoys working with the team, and she says “Everyone has their own talents, so if you don’t know something, you can rely on your teammates and your manager to help” she would describe the team environment as “Awesome”. 

Judith has taken some time to develop her core skills as a Sales & Services Co-ordinator, including working on projects; she has recently been promoted to Branch Supervisor for her efforts, at Mt Wellington which is one of our larger branches.

Matt Hammond Account Manager, Canterbury

Matt started with Humes back in 2014 as a Truck Driver in our Wellington branch. He then moved to the Sales & Service Coordinator role for a few years. This involved working within the branch dealing with stock & inventory management, working on customer contracts and project managing these and customer logistics, all whilst providing excellent customer service.
Matt then got an opportunity in 2018 for a promotion to become an Estimator. In this role, Matt undertook the quoting process for the Sales team for tendered contracts and customer jobs across NZ, that ensured agreed cost and target margins are achieved. After a couple of years and as a natural progression from supporting the Sales team, Matt then became an Account Manager originally based at Mt. Maunganui.
In 2024 Matt relocated from the Bay of Plenty to join the team in Canterbury where his success has continued.

Matt thrives on partnering with his customers to support their needs in the marketplace and building successful relationships. He enjoys the variety in the role – getting involved with different stakeholders to get a successful outcome for all parties.
Matt has demonstrated that there are lots of opportunities to progress at Humes in terms of career development, if you put in the “hard yards” and have a good work ethic.
The culture at Humes is a close-knit family vibe with a strong focus on Health & Safety, making sure everyone goes home safe every day is the key thing that matters. The people at Humes are great to work with, everyone backs each other up and helps get the job done as well as supporting our customers achieve their goals too.
