About Us
H&M Pascoe has stood the test of time, being originally started by Mitch’s father, Howard, in 1953. Mitch went into partnership with him in 1988 & the business became a limited company in 2005.
We consider ourselves very fortunate to have a great team working with us. Mattias, who joined in 2011 and is our leading hand, and Scott who joined us in 2017. Both Matt & Scott have completed apprenticeships with us and are now qualified Marine Coatings Exterior Lvl 4 tradesmen.
When we are going into a Christmas period we usually have 1 or 2 extra part time helpers which means we get through the work as quickly & efficiently as possible.
Our service is unique in that we strive very hard to plan our workload & get each job done in as timely a manner as the weather allows, avoiding our customers having to pay large hardstand fees.
We are transparent in our accounts so that our customers can see they are getting value for their money.
Mattias Toia
Marine Painter & Leading Hand
Mattias grew up in Paihia & later Whangarei. He has been involved in the Marine industry since 2002 when he started working at Astral Yachts/Friendship Yachts. It was here that he was introduced to marine painting and developed his skills in this area working on eight world class Friendship 40’s as well as a long list of other, privately owned yachts.
He worked there for 6 years before moving onto Pacific Gloss where he gained more experience in Boatyard work & marine re-paints & touch-ups.
He has worked on many large, world renowned yachts including Lanakai, a 72ft cruising yacht, Douce France, a 138ft sail catamaran and Black Pearl, a 31.5metre Superyacht. All these jobs taught Mattias a lot including the importance of attention to detail.
Since he joined us in 2011, Mattias put these skills onto paper and is now a qualified Marine Coatings Exterior Lvl 4 tradesman. He is our Leading Hand and looks after things for us when we are not available.
Mattias was around boats as a young boy which later turned into an interest in working in the marine industry. He married his wife Monique in April 2009 and they have three young children, Briar, Braxton and Grayson.
Scott Jamieson
Marine Painter
Scott grew up here in Mercury Bay, on the Coromandel Peninsula. He lived in Auckland for a few years where he became involved in the motor vehicle industry in early 2001 selling cars. In 2005 he transferred to Toyota NZ in the city until 2013 and then moved to their Thames branch. While in the motor vehicle industry he gained a good knowledge of sales, logistics, installations, and carried out repairs such as paint touch ups and polishing.
He started in the marine industry when he joined us in 2017. He does everything from sanding, filling, removing & refitting anodes, scoops & other fittings, as well as masking boats for both antifoul and topcoats. He sprays most of our antifouling on hulls and sternlegs. Plus he grinds running gear and does most of the Propspeed applications for our company.
Scott is a qualified Marine Coatings Exterior Lvl 4 tradesman, along with his certificates in Business Management, plus Competitive Systems & Practices, both gained while with Toyota.
Growing up with the beach at his doorstep, Scott has always been interested in the ocean & boats & became a PADI trained Rescue Diver as a result.
Scott married his wife, Yolanda, in September 2000. They have 3 young girls, Arielle, Evana and Inara.
