MEET OUR TEAM
Josh Stevenson
For 14 years, Josh served with the NZ police in Hawkes Bay, the last four years as rank of Sergeant.

Josh's experience with police created many transferable skills which he utilized initially as a Contract Investigator with Work-Rite Ltd, before taking up the role of National Investigations Manager in late 2023. Josh has also been a business owner, and this has helped develop his understanding of the operational side of business as well.
Josh is a keen sportsman with 18 years dedicated to semi-professional sports with Napier City Rovers Football Club, where he has both captained the team and contributed as a senior squad member. He has also spent 5 years on the clubs executive board. Family is at the core of everything Josh does. Married with two daughters, they inspire and motivate Josh to strive for excellence in all aspects of life. As National Investigations Manager, Josh continues to uphold the values of integrity, diligence, and dedication.
