The Platinum Homes Taranaki team is led by Licensees Jim and Gloria Martin, who bring over 20 years of combined experience to the region. As one of the founders of Platinum Homes, Jim has been with the company since the very beginning.
Supporting them is Sales Manager Leah James, a proud Taranaki local with 13 years at Platinum Homes, dedicated to guiding clients through their home-building journey. Construction Coordinator Andrew Manuel brings 30 years of industry expertise, ensuring every home meets the highest standards. Sandra Davy and Laurelle Muter manage sales, administration, and marketing, while Don Armstrong provides exceptional after-sales support.
As proud members of the community, the Platinum Homes Taranaki team actively supports local initiatives and organisations, including the New Plymouth Racecourse, reinforcing their commitment to the region they call home.
With experience across a diverse range of builds, the team takes pride in delivering quality craftsmanship and tailored solutions, ensuring each home complements the region’s unique landscape and lifestyle. Their client-focused approach ensures a smooth and enjoyable building experience, with many customers returning to build again.
