About Us

History

Fosters Outdoor Power Equipment was established in 1973 as a small husband and wife business. It started off with Barry servicing and repairing machines in an old caravan in the back yard. Since then, it has progressed from a two person business to a fourteen person company.

This includes three retail outlets: Christchurch,Northwood and one in Rangiora.

Barry & Jill's two sons, Darryn and Tim, are also greatly involved in the company with both holding the managers titles at Christchurch and Northwood/Rangiora Branches.
Barry & Jill Foster and Fosters Outdoor Power Equipment have been in association with STIHL New Zealand for over 30 years.

At Fosters we pride ourselves in our sales as well as service, with our purpose built workshop we have a wide range of diagnostic and repair equipment.

We supply, repair and service anything from Chainsaws to Ride On Mowers.

With our well respected and knowledgeable technicians we constantly strive to improve our customer service level and knowledge so our customers are always satisfied.
