Hamish Calder Contracting Ltd

Matt Lovett is a Mid Canterbury based owner/operator throughout the Canterbury Region. The company was founded in 2007 by Matthew & Hilary Lovett. It started with one MacDon 972 windrower & grew substantially for 7 years. With windrowing contracting being seasonal, Matt researched into other areas of agricultural contracting. Matt found his niche market and in 2011 Matt purchased a 24000 litre Joskin Euroliner Slurry Tanker from Belgium. After several years a second 28000 litre tanker was purchased due to the high demand of slurry spreading. In April 2015 the windrowing business was sold allowing Matt to concentrate on one core business & perfecting that business to a high standard. A Joskin Muck Spreader is the lastest addition to the business. This can spread a range of products including slurry, lime, chip barns and organic waste. Both Matt & Hilary grew up on farms and have worked for agriculture contractors in New Zealand & overseas. They have two children, Emily (9) & Lachlan (7). Matt enjoys clay target shooting & travels throughout New Zealand & overseas. Hilary enjoys golf, painting & cooking.
