Meet Our Team

  • Tracie Handford

    Manager

    Tracie started in the plumbing industry as a labourer, helping Harry with the shovel and pipe out on our first few new builds. "After the business grew so fast, we needed a manager to steer us in the right direction." Tracie then took over running the business and Health & Safety, a world different from her chosen profession as a Qualified Dental Assistant.

    In her spare time, Tracie is usually found actively supporting her children, Tessa and Libby, on the sidelines in the many different sports and activities they compete in or cooking up a storm in the kitchen.

  • Tyla Davidson

    Third-year Apprentice

    “Hey, I’m Tyla, and I am a true local of central Otago. I really enjoy getting out on the lake with my mate’s boat but prefer the jet ski. If it’s raining that day, I also love playing guitar and making up songs. You’ll typically find me on the shovel or driving down to dunners most weekends to catch up with mates there. I’m so glad I decided to become a plumber and I’m so glad it was with Waterworx.” - Tyla Davidson
