Glenn Munro

Christchurch

After growing up on a high-country station above the Rakaia Gorge Glenn was keen for an outside career that kept his body fit and my mind active. Glenn started in this industry at age 18. By 20 he thought he had enough knowledge to set up my own business. This was the start of what became PPL.

This was prior to the BCITO setting up our PPCS trade and smack bang in the middle of the dark days of the NZ weather tight homes crisis. Working through this period has given Glenn an unrivalled knowledge of how to, and more importantly how not to build a leaky building. I was at the forefront of our trade becoming one of the first group of exterior plasterers to gain a PPCS qualification in nz. These days he sits on the BCITO national advisory group that sets the standards and criteria for new apprentices coming through our industry. 

Glenn is also very proud to be at the front of another huge shift in thinking in the plastering industry gaining his NZQA certificate of construction saftey. His current roles at PPL are customer liaising, job scoping, plan pricing, job scheduling, team captain-mentor, material orderer, delivery boy, computer operator, problem solver and the list goes on.....

When Glenn is not at work you'll find him hanging out with his wife and three kids at the lake, or somewhere in the hills racing my dirt bike.
