It’s full steam ahead for Dargaville Honda Motorcycles and Marine

9 December 2021

Like a well-oiled machine, the team at Dargaville Honda Motorcycles and Marine understand the need for a great ‘Accountanic’ (aka Advisory Mechanic) to ensure the longevity and top-notch performance of their business not just for now, but for the future too.


It’s a family affair at Dargaville Honda Motorcycles and Marine. Bruce and Judy, along with son Bryan have owned the business since 2003. Bruce and Judy’s daughter Chloe helps out managing the business when’s she’s not at home raising her young family. In addition, the McKenzie family looked to Gunson McLean for advice and support around their family farm for many years, until recently selling it to focus on the expansion of Dargaville Honda Motorcycles and Marine.


Shiralee McLean is their lead Advisor and Bertus manages their compliance work.


Bruce tells us that thanks to their long-standing relationship, the trust and great advice provided by Shiralee, and the team isn’t questioned. It is held in high regard and used on a day-to-day basis.


“The role that Shiralee plays in the business advisory space is an essential part in the success and growth of the McKenzie business,” says Bruce.


As business advisors, we see our role as helping Bruce and the team to keep growing, moving forward and maintaining personal enjoyment and satisfaction in these ever-changing times.


Dargaville Honda Motorcycles and Marine have diversified in recent years to include lawnmower services, as well as high end services for luxury vessels, to their offering.


Make sure you head to their shop to get the boat ready for summer and even stock up on summer fishing supplies, including bait. Don’t forget to follow them on Facebook and Instagram or, if you’ve been a customer recently, write them a review.


The team at Gunson McLean are super privileged to be working alongside such a great bunch of Northlanders and are excited about the future ahead of the McKenzie family.
