It is with great sadness that we inform you Gary Caulfield passed away last week.

His passing leaves a massive gap in our mass timber construction industry.  From our experience, he was the single most enthusiastic, informed and motivating individual our industry has ever had. 

As a pragmatic thought leader in our Australasian and wider industry his energy was incomparable in making a difference for mass timber in construction. 

Speaking for everyone whose lives he touched, we are all devastated. We extend our deepest sympathies to his wife and son and extended family.

If you are considering a way to celebrate, recognise or remember Gary the family would like you to consider making a donation to MATES in Construction NZ in his memory.

In recognition of Gary’s role in the mass timber industry, the WoodWorks 2020 conference team are planning to include a tribute to him as part of the conference program.
