Helping you deliver
safe, efficient projects.
Vanguard partners with civil contractors
and councils, providing solutions that help
to safely manage pedestrian and vehicle
traffic on infrastructure projects.
Since 1991, our customer-first approach
has always been the same:
Tell us what you are trying to do, and
we will work with you to come up with the
right options and solutions to achieve your
desired outcome.
Even if that means directing you to another
supplier who can serve you better.
At the end of the day, it’s what you need
that matters most to us and we are here
to help you and your team deliver safe,
efficient projects
Who we are.
As a family owned company established
in 1991, Vanguard remains laser focused
on family values and customer satisfaction.
34 years in business, 100+ combined years
experience across the team, and operating
across Australia and New Zealand, we help
you to keep people and traffic moving
safely on your projects and worksites.

Vanguard Directors
Why we exist.
In 2015 when Craig, Gareth and Brendan
Mclean purchased Vanguard from their
parents, they identified an opportunity
to take a long-term partnership approach
with their clients.
The DNA of this approach still exists today
and ensures all Vanguardians get a deep
understanding their clients needs, in order
to recommend the right solution.
This drives a culture of curiosity throughout
the whole team, ensuring the correct safety
solution is implemented and everyone gets
home to their loved ones each night.

Our relationship is built on trust and rapport. They come up with new ideas to help us – and their
quality products make our life easier onsite. They are more than a supplier: we feel like we can ask
them to do anything for us.
Andy Hunt
CityCare Water
They are excellent and fast problem solvers. They have stock on hand and deliver promptly,
which is critical for us at short notice. They are venturing into new space by expanding their
product lines.
Sheldon Borges
Auckland Transport
Whenever I order something, Vanguard are fast and super-efficient at getting products,
quotes and prices back to me. To be honest, I’ve only ever used their competitors once
and never went back because Vanguard’s customer service was far superior.
