Skipps Logging

Innovative solutions and additional support made expansion manageable.

Mandie and Tom Skipps moved their logging business to Whangarei in 2011. At the time, a change in accounting partners was not something they had in mind.

This was until they met the team at Catapult Partners and they learnt about a better approach to accounting.

Since making the move, Catapult Partners have worked closely with Skipps Logging on everything from forecasting, PAYE and GST, to making important decisions about the future of the business. By taking the time to really understand what Mandie and Tom wanted and where they wanted to go, Catapult was able to support them through challenges and provide them with innovative solutions that would drive their business forward with confidence.

"It’s not just stock standard, off the shelf solutions, Catapult Partners make sure they understand what you want and where you want to go with your business. The relationship that we have is so much better than what we have ever had with an accountant before."

By making sure help is just a phone call away, Catapult Partners ensure Mandie and Tom always feel supported, especially when growing their business and taking on new staff. When they took on a new contract and expanded to two crews, the team at Catapult provided additional administration support. Catapult Partners go the extra mile to make things more manageable.

Mandie has recently started her own Health and well-being business, Skipps Training Limited, and she now keeps both the Skipps Logging and Catapult teams fit and active.

Catapult Partners look forward to following Mandie and Tom’s journey and watching where their logging business takes them.
