from humble bEGINNINGS
After selling the family farm in Seddon back in 1987/1988 Ross Cooke and his late wife, Tricia brought a hose doctor franchise with one of the local hydraulic companies. In 1998, Ross saw an opportunity to start his own hydraulic business and named it ‘Rosco Hydraulics’. He ran this out of his garage in Renwick.
As the business started to grow, he asked one of his sons, Bruce, to join him in August 2000. Bruce was working as qualified panel beater, running the panel shop for a local car dealership. Eighteen months later, Ross’s oldest son Richard joined the team. Richard brought to the company his many years of farming experience.
Rosco Hydraulics continued to grow forcing the first move out of Ross’s garage and in to the old apple pack-house at Tyrone Park, Renwick. Then the second move to a new purpose-built workshop next door.
Rosco Hydraulics is a proud supporter of local businesses from the Marlborough Sounds to the back blocks of the Awatere and Wairau Valleys.
These local businesses are involved in the following industries:
