Goshwin is one of the many people who run their own small tradie businesses.
Goshwin (and what he represents) is WHY we are able to deliver housing.
Hard work, respect, total reliability, good workmanship.
Shout out to Goshwin Gounder for installing all of the down pipes and gutters plus subfloor stormwater connections during the wettest year I have known in Auckland!
I have so many Goshwin-like team members to thank – thanks to them all.
About the author
Kirsty Merriman
For years I would plan houses, travel widely and observe communities. I also had the privilege of working for New Zealand's largest dairy company in both New Zealand and Malaysia. All the while supported by my husband and young daughter. After a while, our roles swapped and we moved to the Arabian Gulf. Meanwhile my passion for property and communities continued to simmer.
Along came COVID and had no choice but to pivot... in the words of Robert Frost, I looked for and "found the road less travelled by" and decided that maybe I could "make [a] the difference".
I look for to find insights and built a few of the houses that we need. This means a saleable house and a profitable and sustainable business.
