Meet the team behind Clive Glass
Supporting Local Since 1988
Erica Tobeck
Director, Clive Glass Limited
Tag Name: Ezy E
Tagline: The calm behind the glass.
Erica is the heart of Clive Glass—a trusted glazing company serving Hawke’s Bay for over 30 years. Alongside Stephen Tobeck, she’s helped grow the business into a tight-knit team of skilled glaziers and support staff, known for high-quality workmanship and strong local relationships.
The tag name Ezy E suits her perfectly. She’s the calm in the chaos—the organiser behind the quotes, schedules, and customer care—and the one making sure Friday pies arrive on time. With warmth, precision, and a touch of flair, Ezy E brings a sense of family to the Clive Glass crew that turns a business into a community staple.
Steve Tobeck
Director, Clive Glass Limited
Tag Name: Madistman
Since Clive Glass first opened its doors in 1988, Steve has been there from day one—just 18 years old and ready to take on the world. Decades later, he’s still leading with the same hands-on approach and signature grin, helping shape the business into a Hawke’s Bay icon.
Known affectionately as Madistman, Steve blends old-school toughness with modern-day energy. Whether he’s solving on-site challenges or mentoring the crew, he brings precision, humour, and heart to every job. And when the workday winds down, you’ll find him gaming on Call of Duty—proving that quick reflexes and sharp instincts aren’t just for the workshop.
From cracking jokes to rolling up his sleeves, Steve’s the kind of guy who lifts the whole team. He’s right there in the thick of it—and always does it with a smile.
Nathan Stalker
Head Glazier, Operations Manager & Digital Oracle
Tag Name: The Quiet Genius
Tagline: Precision, patience, and pure skill.
Nathan joined Clive Glass in 2001 at just 17, beginning as an apprentice and rising through the ranks to become our “fix-all” glazier. He’s a specialist in double glazing and retrofits, with a knack for solving the trickiest jobs others wouldn’t dare touch.
Around here, we call him the Oracle—or sometimes Yoda of Clive Glass—because if something’s broken, confusing, or just plain weird, Nathan knows how to fix it. He’s the quiet powerhouse behind the scenes, with a mind for detail and a knack for making things work.
He’s also the brains behind our online presence, keeping Clive Glass sharp, connected, and ahead of the curve. From tech troubleshooting to filming job-site videos to website wizardry, Nathan’s got it sorted—if we’ve glazed it, he’s captured it. Shop fronts, crane work, showers, and our double glazing upgrades—he’s behind it all.
Ron Aunoa
Workshop Foreman
Tag Name: Ron "The Pane Master" Aunoa
Tagline: Jobs in, jobs out—he's got eyes on every pane.
Ron is the steady hand behind the scenes, keeping the workshop organised and humming with jobs coming and going. He’s got his finger on the pulse—knowing what’s happening, what’s next, and what needs sorting before anyone else even asks.
As The Backbone of the workshop, Ron brings structure, reliability, and a touch of flair. He’s not just organised—he’s the kind of guy who keeps things light, keeps the team laughing, and makes sure Fridays feel like Fridays. Whether it’s coordinating workflow or cracking a joke, Ron’s presence holds the place together.
Christine Tobeck
Administrator, Scheduling Queen & Glass Cutter
Tag: Mama Bear
Tagline: The organiser, the fixer, the heart of the schedule.
Christine has been part of Clive Glass since day one—back in 1988—and she’s been the steady heartbeat of the business ever since. With an uncanny ability to know exactly where every job is, who’s on it, and what’s coming next, she keeps the wheels turning and the crew moving.
Whether it’s an urgent call-out or a packed day of installs, Mama Bear makes it happen—fast. She’s not just behind the desk; she’s cutting glass, managing the Guys timetables, and keeping the entire operation organised with precision and care.
Her nickname says it all: she’s the protector, the planner, and the powerhouse. Christine brings warmth, grit, and unmatched efficiency to Clive Glass—and the crew wouldn’t run without her.
Anita Curtis
Administration Manager, Accounts & Payroll Specialist
Tag Name: The Number Ninja
Tagline: Calm, precise, and always on the money.
Anita joined Clive Glass with a background in finance and a knack for keeping things balanced—literally. From payroll to invoicing, she’s the one making sure the numbers add up and the team gets paid on time. Calm, focused, and quietly brilliant, Anita brings structure to the back office and a steady rhythm to the business.
She’s also the go-to for tracking job costs, smoothing out admin wrinkles, and keeping the books as sharp as the glazing. Whether it’s reconciling accounts or fielding a curveball from the workshop, The Number Ninja handles it all with precision and grace.
Kahn Wilkins
Glazier & Rising Star
Tag: Uchiha Operator
Tagline: Tradie by day, anime by night.
Kahn has been part of the Clive Glass family for 3½ years, and in that time, he’s become a true cornerstone of our team. With his steady work ethic, good humour, and commitment to Clive Glass, Kahn has grown into a skilled glazier we’re proud to stand behind.
Recently, he achieved a major milestone—earning his trade certification and placing 3rd in his class. It’s a testament to his dedication, talent, and the pride he brings to every job.
Keen to be on the tools, Kahn has also stepped up to take on the 24/7 callout side of the business—and he handles it like a pro. Whether it’s a routine install or a late-night emergency, he brings the same calm focus and can-do attitude every time.
We’re thrilled to have Kahn on board and excited to see where his journey takes him next. He’s not just building windows—he’s building a future.
Nathan Rolls
Glazier & Team Anchor
Tag Name: WOD Warrior
Tagline: Strength in every rep, pride in every play.
Nathan has been with Clive Glass for 8 years, returning to the trade as a qualified glazier after some time away—and we’re lucky he did. With a sharp eye for detail and a steady hand, Nathan brings both skill and heart to the job.
He’s always up for a good joke or a YouTube rabbit hole, but when it comes to paperwork and insurance work, he’s all precision. Nathan’s family-first values align perfectly with the Clive Glass culture, and he’s become a quiet force behind the scenes—especially in the insurance arm of the business, where his admin game is always on point.
Nathan also plays a key role in our 24/7 callout team, making sure the workload is shared and our glaziers get the breaks they need. He’s the kind of teammate who lifts others up—on the job, in the gym, and on the rugby field
Ray Pell
Tag Name: Grandad Ray
Tagline: Hack and smack master.
With over 50 years in the glazing game, Ray’s seen it all – and probably cracked a joke about it too. Known for his gift of the gab and a laugh that echoes through the job site, Ray holds the record for the most customer compliments of any Clive Glass Glazier.
His memory is nothing short of legendary. Driving through Hawke’s Bay, he can point out windows that he glazed decades ago, recalling every detail of the job like it was yesterday.
Ray’s the first to arrive and the first to get stuck in. Whether it’s a tricky install or a good team yarn, he brings unmatched expertise, a sharp eye, and a hearty humour to every job. Precision, pride, and personality – that’s Ray.
