Building Palmerston North Since 1976
Manawatu ITM, a staple in the local building community, was founded in 1976 by Len Haydock. Over the decades, we’ve grown from a small timber supplier to a comprehensive building supplies store, proudly serving Palmerston North and beyond. As one of the early members of the Independent Timber Merchants Cooperative, we leverage our collective buying power to offer the best building products in New Zealand. Our dedication to strong personal relationships, coupled with a can-do attitude, has allowed us to grow alongside our loyal customers for over 50 years.
Tony Haydock
Tony established the Frame and Truss Plant in 1995. He is proud of the passion that goes into our work and has built up a wealth of knowledge and expertise during his time. Tony’s familiarity with the trade begun much earlier than this, with original owner Len being his father, passion for the building industry is second nature to him. These days Tony is involved in every aspect of the business, spending time both at our main yard and at the Frame and Truss Plant.
Darren Richardson (Honk)
Not many people have 44 years’ experience in the industry – Darren left school to become Len’s intern, learning every trick of the trade along the way. He is passionate about acquiring the best deals for our customers and you can find him out in the yard, behind the counter, or in his office – he is hands on in every part of the business.
