Canterbury’s One-Stop Fix, Stop & Paint Whānau!
Pateriki Mackie – Ngāpuhi
Meet Pateriki and the team at VM Plastering Limited – a proud Māori-owned business shaking up the finishing trades in Ōtautahi/Christchurch. In just over two years, VM Plastering has built a reputation for professionalism, reliability, and top-notch workmanship across Canterbury.
VM Plastering is your one-stop shop for interior finishing from fixing and stopping to painting. No more juggling multiple trades, these pros handle it all, whether it’s a cozy home or a big commercial project.
VM Plastering’s mission is simple: deliver high-quality interior finishing services with integrity, efficiency, and pride. They’re committed to growing their presence in Canterbury’s construction scene, maintaining strong client relationships, and showcasing the power of Māori-led business.
Their growth has come from good old-fashioned word of mouth and cold calling. Building trust and strong relationships in the community is at the heart of their success.
Thanks to support from Poutama Trust, VM Plastering is leveling up with a new website and upgraded tools – boosting productivity, visibility, and their professional presence in the region.
Being Māori isn’t just a detail, it’s central to how Pateriki leads and how the business operates. VM Plastering is proof that Māori can thrive in leadership and entrepreneurship, creating opportunities for the wider community and showing what’s possible when culture and business go hand in hand.
The team values a healthy work/life balance, making sure everyone feels supported both on and off the job. Embracing a range of backgrounds and perspectives makes VM Plastering stronger and more effective.
