About Me

John Tolhurst

Experience

I have over 35 years in sales, marketing and management.

I have had sales, marketing and general management roles in NZ with Velux Roof Windows and skylights , Stihl(NZ) Ltd and Jacobsens.

Interests

I play golf, tennis and love to travel.

Helle (my wife) and I travel around 3 months abroad each year. In 2025 we drove 8000kms across Southern Germany, Eastern Europe, Croatia and Italy. We absolutely loved the history, old medieval towns and ancient ruins.

We have two sons abroad – Amsterdam and Seattle. So what better excuse than to go and see them!

Office scene similar to existing image, three business people in discussion around a whiteboard. On the whiteboard, large clear heading text: 'Architectural reps must add value' and beneath it smaller bullet point text: 'Know code requirements'. Clean, modern, professional style, matching the site’s current illustration look.
