The FNR Group

What The FNR Group does

The FNR Group is a privately held, Māori owned and operated construction group headquartered in Kaitaia, Northland, New Zealand, founded in 2011 by Brady Wild and Glen Subritzky (originally as Far North Roading). It operates five integrated specialist divisions — FNR Civil, FNR Construction, FNR Consulting, FNR Concrete, and FNR Quarries — delivered from depots in Kaitaia, Pukepoto, Kaikohe, and Whangarei, with a workforce of approximately 150 (around 70% Māori). Its service offering spans civil earthworks, drainage, subdivision and roading infrastructure; commercial and residential building, including educational and community facilities; engineering consulting and project management; ready-mix concrete supply; and aggregate quarrying from the Pukepoto site acquired in 2021. Core technical assets include one of the largest modern plant fleets in the North (20+ excavators, 16 metal trucks, 10 off-road dump trucks, plus bulldozers, graders, rollers) and an ISO-certified integrated QEHS Management System (ISO 9001/14001/45001) maintained since 2022.

The business model is project-based and tender-driven, with revenue generated through professional services (civil construction, building, engineering consulting) and hardware sales (aggregates and ready-mix concrete). Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales to government agencies (Far North District Council, Northland Regional Council, Ministry of Education, Kainga Ora), local iwi trusts (Ngāti Kuri, Te Aupōuri), and private developers (e.g., Newcon Group for the Bunnings Waipapa civils package). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; long-cycle contracts such as the $15.5M, eight-year Northland Regional Council Awanui Flood Scheme provide multi-year revenue visibility. The group also holds a 50% partnership with PanelLock (formed 2023) extending capability into construction/engineering services.

Customers are concentrated in the Far North / Te Hiku region of New Zealand, with recent project delivery including the $11.5M Te Hiku Sports Hub (FNR's direct share approximately $5M), flood-resistant Kainga Ora social housing, iwi commercial facilities, and school refurbishments. FNR's positioning rests on local iwi relationships, Māori ownership, vertically integrated materials supply, and certified compliance credentials that satisfy public-sector procurement requirements. The company received the Supreme Award and Māori Enterprise Award at the 2025 Te Hiringa Te Tai Tokerau Māori Business Excellence Awards.
