MEET THE NELSON TEAM
GARY ALLEN

Gary started his career as a fitter and turner for Nalder and Biddle at Port Nelson where he was also actively involved with diesel engine overhauls and new installations before moving into full-time hydraulics.
Gary’s knowledge and expertise, from system maintenance to system design, is supported by over four decades of experience specialising in the hydraulic industry. Gary actively keeps abreast of the latest hydraulic and electronic innovations and trends both here in New Zealand and overseas.

CHRIS GRAY
Sales Manager
-
Chris Gray is responsible for the compressed air/pneumatics side of the business as well as the mobile hose and hydraulic technicians in Nelson, Tasman and Blenheim. Chris is a fitter/turner by trade and trained in Nelson as a compressed air/pneumatics specialist prior to going to Scotland for two years. During his time in Scotland he worked as a mobile compressed air/pneumatic specialist, servicing a wide range of compressors and air equipment all over the country.
That experience, combined with his ‘do it once, do it right’ attitude give FPS an effective and results driven pneumatic/compressed air division and mobile hose and hydraulic technician team.

Owen has since worked for Scarlett Technologies in Christchurch and Hydac NZ before starting with FPS in 2011. Owen’s previous employment with Vickers/Eaton has also given him a good grounding in the electronics side of hydraulics.
