About Us

Al and Julie Meehan have been married for 15 years and have 5 children between them.  Al grew up in Palmerston North, and Julie has lived in the region for over 20 years.  They enjoy living in the peaceful village of Ashhurst, Manawatu. 

Al enjoys the outdoors, especially mountain biking, frequenting the numerous bike parks the region offers.  He is also known to take his rifle for a walk in the bush and on the odd occasion, firing it to fill the family freezer.  

Julie (aka gorgeouscakegirl) enjoys the creativity of baking and can often be found tending to the beautiful flowers in her garden.  She loves most things creative, never spending too long on one genre. 

Together, Al and Julie are self-diagnosed coffee snobs.  Al has been known to travel significant distance to acquire the right brew.

Both Al and Julie are actively involved in Ruru Building Solutions.  They place a high priority on enjoying what they do, and provide excellent service with the desire that their clients have a positive experience as they engage with their business.
