Meet the partially furry addition to the office - Bowie. Her slightly odd appearance captures the hearts of many and she especially appreciates a bit of attention from our technicians on their way through to jobs. Bowie spends her days alongside Mel so those who visit us in person can be sure to catch sight of her from time to time.
Mel is the friendly voice you hear when you call into our main office. She covers the administration from bookings through to accounts and more. Bringing her many years of experience working at VTNZ and wide range of skills and knowledge to the team she is one of the vital gears that keep the Teletronics machine running smoothly. With all the bases covered from radio comms to broadband and installs Mel is the lady to ask when you need the answers quick.

Scott’s History
Scott’s tech journey started with big ideas and a local focus. He co-founded the network for Wizwireless broadband services while working with Bridget Canning, initially as a way to solve a rural connectivity challenge in Tinui. After years of innovation and collaboration, Scott joined Teletronics to help out Peter following an accident, eventually leading to the company’s growth under his leadership.
