From a garage in Wanaka to a 400-strong business across Australia, NZ, North America and the Pacific. Anthony Teen reflects on 25 years of Geovert.

Geovert has been named a finalist for Engineering Success of the Year at the 2026 Prospect Awards, recognising the High Reach Drill (HRD) and its impact on slope stabilisation across open pit mining projects.
