HARKIN ROOFING WAS FORMED IN 1979 BY REX HARKIN
He was a one man band who had an office at home. At the time Rex’s wife Sue was working as a teacher.
Rex and Sue quickly realised that Rex had a winning combination and Sue decided that she wanted to get involved and create a successful roofing company that they could both be proud of. Through hard work and persistence Rex and Sue built up a successful commercial roofing company.
In 1994 Sue Harkin also helped to form the Roofing Association of New Zealand (RANZ). RANZ is the national trade organisation and representative collective voice for the roofing industry.
In 2015 Rex and Sue’s children, Brad and Deborah, took over management of Harkin Roofing.
