Ask A Question
Holliday & Sons continues to take pride in the traditional methods and craftsmanship that have defined our workshop since 1848.
For decades we were based in one of the city’s oldest wooden buildings, and that heritage remains at the heart of everything we do.
Today, under the direction of Jason Holliday, Holliday & Sons has moved to a modern showroom and workshop at 7 Elgin Street, Sydenham, Christchurch, continuing a family tradition that spans six generations.
