Russ has been in the manufacturing world for the past 20 years from high output production lines to one off custom structural steel fabrications.  Of these past 20 years he has spent the last decade in offsite light gauge fabrication.  He believes there is always a better, faster, cleaner way to build and he focuses on how to get there.  

This is why he has invested the last 10 years into offsite prefab and modular building techniques.  From researching automation, visiting plants, and having in depth conversations with companies that use automated production floors to breaking down labor analysis of non-automated factories and everything in between. It is the driving force on how Russ and his team do what they do, and what separates them in this ever-evolving industry.

Russ uses a hands on approach to leverage his knowledge and skills to uplift not only his products and their quality, but his employees lives and company culture.

Hamish Coubray, General Manager of Rollforming Services (RFS) and Director of the Howick Group, of which RFS is the product manufacturing arm, is third generation of the family owned business. A mechanical engineer by trade, he has been involved in all aspects of the Howick Group businesses since he was a teen – from machine assembly and manufacture, training, installation and technical support to product development, business development and management.

Hamish’s passion for always seeking a better, more efficient way to do something is perfectly suited in the construction industry, where there is so much opportunity to break away from the status quo and do things differently, and more effectively. By asking questions like ‘how can we do things better and smarter’, Hamish has proven that when you push the boundaries, think creatively, you can consistently deliver a practical, commercially viable, better result.
