Lead Team
Howard Scott
Director
Howard has nearly 40 years experience specialising in land development, residential subdivisions and construction. Starting out in the 1970's and early 80's, Howard developed kiwifruit orchards and small residential infill housing in the Tauranga area with his father.
Abron Group was founded in 1998 as an outgrowth of various other property developments in the 1990's, including "The Palms" in Keri Keri, Bay of Islands, a 26 lot residential subdivision, "Mapua Estates" a 70 lot rural residential subdivision in Mapua, Nelson and numerous smaller infill developments on Auckland's North Shore and in Tauranga.
Returning to Tauranga permanently in mid 2000 with his wife of 47 years, Jenni, focus has principally been back on residential development in the booming region of the Bay of Plenty. Howard and Jenni have two grown children, Cameron and Abbie, who are now involved in the day to day operation of Abron Group.

Cam Scott
Operations Manager
Cam joined the family owned business in the early 2000's after an illustrious career in the farming industry. Having worked on many large sheep and cattle stations throughout New Zealand, Cam has brought with him a practical approach to getting the job done.
Cam's tenure at Abron began with a very hands-on role, operating our large machinery, preparing our subdivisions for building. As Abron has grown, Cam's role has grown with it. He now oversees all of our earthworks and construction projects and has a great deal of input into scheme design, a skill that was honed from many hours on that digger.
Cam has two children with his wife Tracy and in his "down time" runs his own kiwi fruit property. Cam is an accomplished dog trial-er, competing regularly on a National level.

Abbie Raleigh
Sales and Marketing Manager
Abbie joined the family business in a part time capacity in early 2014 to assist with the day to day running of Abron Group. Having previously worked in event management, marketing and the hospitality industry, Abbie is passionate about growing Abron and as such, took on additional roles working alongside our clients during the building process and spearheading new marketing initiatives.
Abbie now focuses much of her attention on the day to day running and administration of the business. She also coordinates the sales and marketing of our developments, and maintains our website and social media page.
After living and travelling overseas, Abbie has returned to her home town of Tauranga and is raising her young family with husband, Pete. You'll find them enjoying the local café scene and out on the boat putting a water-ski in over summer.
