About Us
Tim Giddens
Managing Director
Tim along with his wife Courtney and their two sons, Chase and Max, have called Dunedin their home since joining the West Harbour Community in 2014. Tim has over 20 years’ experience in the drainage and three waters infrastructure industry. Having worked across New Zealand and Australia for some of their largest infrastructure maintenance providers, he brings a wealth of knowledge to the liquid waste industry.
Tim enjoys being able to problem solve for customers to offer extra insight whether he is emptying a residential septic tank or creating a storm water management plan for a commercial client. While his passion is with liquid waste, when he is not hard at work, you can find him supporting his local Harbour Hawks rugby team.
