20 years of Trueline Construction - founded in 2006 by the late James Gibson (Gibbo), a man with a lot of passion, strong building skills, and an even stronger opinion on picking a starting XV - whether it was for the All Blacks or NSRFC.

From those early days, Trueline’s grown into a well-known name on the Shore, building everything from alterations to renovations to new builds. Eve & Caarn have continued to take the company to great places, building beautiful homes around the North Shore - and sometimes over the bridge if the boys’ passports are up to date.

They’ve also been backing North Shore Rugby Club for years, which we reckon is a pretty good sign they know how to pick a winning team.

There’s always been a strong Shore connection too - club legend (and certified Goat) James Hinchco was actually founder James Gibson’s very first employee… although it’s fair to say he was definitely a better rugby player than a builder.

And it’s not just history - right now, there are 5 Trueline builders pulling on the boots for NSRFC, so they’re still doing their part on and off the field.

20 years in, still local, still backing the club, and still getting stuck in.
