TREE KING IN THE COMMUNITY
SUPPORTING NORTHCOTE INTERMEDIATE MARKET DAY
We were contacted by 3 young entrepreneurs at Northcote Intermediate who were struggling with their Market day project which was to create chopping boards from a Macriocarpa tree trunk. They had been trying their best with a hand saw, however our chainsaw sliced through beautifully and we quickly had a stack of Macrocarpa slices ready for the boys to turn into their chopping boards!
They bagged up the chipping and created “Macrocarpa chip” for smokers and also some door stops! The boys were extremely thankful and invited us to see their stall and finished products at their market day! Within the first hour they had sold out of their larger chopping boards! Well done Oban, Lachlan and Taylor.

DIRECTOR
Workplace assessor in Arboriculture
Luke started his arboricultural career straight out of school nearly 20 years ago in the UK where he made a name for himself as the youngest ever crew leader at First Call Trees. In 2008 he brought his skills and experience to New Zealand to broaden his career as an arborist.
Joining Tree King in 2010, he worked tirelessly to help establish the operation as one of Auckland’s most well-known and respected arboricultural firms, becoming the proud owner in 2017. When Luke is not quoting or working hard on the business he enjoys getting amongst the team and spending time on site training and upskilling the crews, even making an appearance in his harness every now and again.
Tree King has now become one of the leaders in New Zealand arboriculture, specialising in residential and commercial tree care. Luke, with the help and support from his team, strives to create an employee and customer experience that is second to none.
General Manager
Nicky has played an integral role in the administrative functions of Tree King since the company’s inception. Appointed General Manager at the beginning of 2023, she comes from a corporate background spanning industries such as security, health insurance, banking, in-home childcare, and building supplies.
With a diploma in management, Nicky is passionate about making Tree King a great place to work and the positive effect this has on customer experience.
When she’s not at work Nicky enjoys bushwalking with her dog, watching her son play sport, and exploring new places.
What do you like about the arboriculture industry?
I like the way arborists and others in the industry are passionate about what they do, it’s not just a job.
What has been your most memorable experience at Tree King?
I’ve enjoyed helping to develop process improvements and watching the business grow.
Admin Assitant
Bonnie has worked in the early childhood sector, car sales and most recently ventured overseas as a Northern Lights tour guide in Canada!
Bonnie will be working alongside Nicky to help look after your customer needs from booking quotes to fixing issues that may arise, Bonnie looks forward to talking to you when we next hear from you!
Crew Coordination Manager
While a great deal of his time is spent organising equipment, managing staff and monitoring our maintenance programmes, Andrew is not afraid to get his hands dirty and you’ll often find him on the crew “getting it done”.
When he’s not working he likes to spend time out on the water kayak-fishing with a few beers to keep him company. He is also a master of low and slow barbeque!
What made you choose Tree King?
I worked with Luke back when he was a contractor. I knew he was a great guy and figured his company would be a good place to work.
What do you like most about arb?
The variety of work, every day is different. There’s something very satisfying about a hard day’s work.
What has been your most memorable experience at Tree King?
On the morning of my 36th birthday I watched a helicopter lift out an entire pine tree I’d cut in a single piece, then spent the afternoon trimming a hedge.
Crew Coordination Manager
What do you like about working here?
I love how you get to give every aspect of the job a go. I’ve had so many opportunities to grow in what I want to do. When I started I was mostly trimming hedges but these days I’m mainly out scoping work and organising the crews.
What do you like most about arb?
Definitely the sound of a chainsaw! I like having the power to completely transform someone’s garden. It’s such a rewarding job.
How did you find out about arb as a career and why did you choose it?
It all started one Friday when my gardening boss asked me what I wanted to do for the arvo. At the time the arb crew were ringing up a big tree trunk so I asked if I could have a go on the chainsaw. Fell In love and never looked back.
What did you do before you were at Tree King? Do you ever draw on any of these skills for your arb work?
My gardening qualifications definitely play a huge part in being able to offer the full package to clients. When I’m out quoting I often get asked about what should be done in a particular area and I can give them good information about what plant will work well in different surroundings. I’ve also been a truck driver for a landscaping company so driving arb trucks is a walk-in-the-park.
What has been your most memorable experience at Tree King?
There’s definitely too many great memories to choose from. Just been a part of building the company from the ground to what we have now is amazing.
What do you do outside of work? What is your passion/hobby?
Lawns! Love a great lawn! And I also play hockey and raise my three children alongside my partner Bonnie.
Arborist Crew Leader
Marvin has been with us since leaving school in 2017. Over that time he has completed the level 4 certificate in arboriculture, becoming one of our top climbers and crew leaders. Aside from his work on-the-tools Marvin is heavily involved in our training and recruitment efforts. He has represented the company at national career events such as Tertiary Education Commission’s Inspiring the Future and the Auckland Business Chamber’s Career-a-thon where he was voted “Best Role Model”. In his spare time he enjoys writing music and spending time with his family.
What made you choose Tree King?
My mum just randomly found Luke’s number and I called up asking for a job. Turns out I was in the right place at the right time and I am still here today. The company has a great culture and I love the variety of different jobs. The teams always have good morale and it’s a great place to work.
What do you like most about arb?
Too much to pinpoint as it’s overall a sick and underrated industry, great for adrenaline junkies.
How did you find out about arb as a career and why did you choose it?
Just fell into it. Started learning from the first day I started and continue to this date.
What has been your most memorable experience at Tree King?
Too much to choose from. Probably the company’s first Helicopter job, that was pretty sick.
What do you do outside of work?
I enjoy making music and spending time with my wife and children.
