Our Story

Years of specialist experience and proven expertise in beer system management

Building Expertise

Gareth started his career in a variety of trades and technical roles, gaining several years of practical, on‑the‑tools experience across different environments. That early work built a strong foundation in problem‑solving, working safely on site, and taking pride in doing things properly the first time.

He later moved into the beer system industry, where he progressed quickly from Technician to Senior Technician, recognised for his attention to detail, tidy workmanship, and consistent focus on delivering quality service. His capability and reliability led to his appointment as Wellington Regional Manager for a national service provider, where he supported technicians, coordinated day‑to‑day operations, and ensured work across the region met a high standard.

This progression from broad trades experience through to senior roles in the beer system sector gives Gareth a well‑rounded, practical skill set and a strong commitment to doing the job right.

Wellington Operations

After purchasing the Wellington arm of the business from his employer, Gareth continued to build a strong reputation across the region for reliability, specialist knowledge, and consistently high‑quality service.

Regional Expansion

Expanded into Horowhenua and Manawatu, bringing specialist expertise to new regions while maintaining service quality.

National Brand

Operations unified under Beer System Solutions Ltd, positioning Gareth as the regional specialist for hospitality venues.

Our promise: to keep your beer flowing smoothly, reliably and consistently.

"Fast, reliable service. Gareth really knows his stuff and always finds a solution quickly."

Mike C

"Professional, friendly and always responsive. They handle everything from maintenance to emergency repairs seamlessly."

Sarah W

"We've trusted Beer System Solutions for 3 years now. Consistent quality and they always show up on time."

James N

D4 Wellington

"Gareth has maintained our beer systems at D4 and handled our monthly beer line cleans since October 2019. His service, attention to detail, and reliability are second to none. Since Gareth took over, call outs have been almost non existent thanks to his preventative approach. He has also helped us save significant money by switching us to a compressor system during high gas prices and continues to offer smart, cost saving ideas. Our gas usage has noticeably improved, with bottles lasting much longer due to his meticulous setup and leak free system. As a high volume Guinness venue, his knowledge of correct cleaning and gas settings is invaluable. I would have no hesitation in recommending Gareth for beer system installations or ongoing maintenance."

Dermot, Owner, D4
