Ashhurst Engineering & Construction

We’ve been a bit slack with our updates of late and it’s not because things have been quiet – in fact quite the opposite.

In March of 2023, AEC was sold to CMSL Holdings, and we joined forces with 3 other companies to effectively become the CMSL Holdings Group.

Those other companies – all based in Mount Maunganui - are:
• CMS (Contract Mechanical Services)
• SCS (Structural Coatings Services)
• Bay Sandblasting Services

Two years later in April 2025 we are thrilled to announce the next step in our journey of growth and evolution – the official rebrand of our parent company CMSL Holdings to PropellWorks! A name that marks a new era for our group of companies. It signifies movement, progress, and the ongoing drive to create value, while also staying true to our core commitment of delivering outstanding asset construction and maintenance solutions. PropellWorks is the culmination of 2+ years of growth, collaboration, and dedication, drawing together the strengths of our four companies.
We’re incredibly excited about what this new chapter means for our team, our clients, and the communities we serve. With a refreshed brand, enhanced capabilities, and a renewed strategic direction, PropellWorks is more than just a name change – it’s a representation of our continued growth, the strength of our values, and our mission to support New Zealand’s essential infrastructure.

Look out for our new Logo’s as our branding rolls out over the next few months.
