Goleman was founded in 1993, based on using rope access for exterior building maintenance. The brainchild of Bulgarian immigrant Peter Goleman, this rope access system laid the foundations for ongoing innovation, problem-solving expertise, and continuous improvement. Goleman has established a unique offer comprising great people, progressive training and quality solutions – all designed to provide clients with high quality, safe, cost effective services.
The Group has dedicated teams and locations in Auckland, Tauranga, Nelson, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin. As of early 2022 it had four core areas of business:
Peter Goleman immigrated to New Zealand from Bulgaria in early 1991 with the aim of starting a better life. He brought with him his wife and his two young sons.
Peter soon came up with the innovative idea of using rope access instead of scaffolding for undertaking exterior building maintenance. This led to the formation of Goleman™ in 1993.
Armed with a constant smile, broken English and a winning attitude, Peter Goleman set out to solve problems, think outside of the square, and give people more than they expected.
Now days Peter takes a back seat, leaving the day to day business operations and management to the next generation of trusted and driven individuals.
