​

Leigh Jones
Director

Christie Rentoul
3D Kitchen Designer

Grace Binnie
​Office Administrator
Leigh started his apprenticeship at Nazareth Joinery 15 years ago and has worked his way to the top, becoming director in 2017. Leigh oversees all aspects of manufacture, with you every step of the way from initial plans through to installation. In his free-time, Leigh is an avid 4 wheel driver. He has built his own competition vehicle and regularly competes in national events. 
Christie is our 3D kitchen designer and is responsible for the beautiful graphics. She is mum to two wee girls and is in the office part-time. Christie most enjoys the challenge of combining the practical with the beautiful. She is passionate about bringing your dream to life and is great with any odd little design questions. When she has a chance, Christie enjoys reading and spending time with her family.
Grace is the office administrator at Nazareth and is the person most likely to be the voice on the other end of the phone.  She crunches the numbers at Nazareth and keeps the office ticking, ask her a question that’s not about joinery! Grace runs for fun and is looking forward to being on the move again after an injury hiatus.

In the factory

Bradley Mattson

​Bradley is our benchtop expert, crafting the cherry on top of your cabinets! His specialty is acrylic benchtops, particularly enjoying the seamless finish he can create. When he's not on the tools, Brad enjoys four-wheel driving and motor biking. He’s the tall one!

Kelly Neal

​​Kelly is a qualified joiner who has been at Nazareth for the last decade, starting as an apprentice and building his skills up along the way. He is a real craftsman, with an eye for the intricate detailing in a Shaker kitchen. Kelly’s hobbies include golfing, hunting and fishing.

Liam Geddes

Originally from South Africa, Liam is an apprentice joiner. He is quickly gaining skills and enjoys building up the intricate details of a kitchen. Outside the factory, Liam plays a sport for every season including snowboarding, cricket, and hockey. ​

​Luke Yarrall
