Our team

We are very fortunate to have such a hard working, knowledgeable and skilled team who strive to not only meet but exceed our customers’ expectations.

We are community focused

We play an active part in our community & sponsor children to the Special Needs Children Parties & Shows 
each year. We also donated new shade sails to the Nelson Cycle Ways Trust, Nelson Mountain Bike Park, Nelson Women’s 
Centre & Nelson College for Girls. We regularly donate offcuts to schools, kindergartens & preschools for craft projects & 
shows such as the annual Nelson Mask Parade. We have school groups from some of the colleges visiting to look at the
range of products we make & the processes we use. Other support includes sponsoring prizes & tables at a variety of
fundraising initiatives for schools, Rescue Helicopter, Fifeshire Foundation & sports clubs.

We at the Nelson Womens Center are constantly amazed by the generosity of business and 
members of the Nelson Community. Transport and Marine Covers spent time making us, and donating 
to us, a shade sail to cover the new deck and building built by the students in the building programme 
at NMIT. The shade sail reduces the sauna effect from the sun in our new exterior Counselling
room, ties the outdoor area together and provides shade from the intensity of the sun for lunchtime
 relaxing and sharing, for extended workshop space and for clients to relax and enjoy our outdoor space.

“Absolutely rapt with the new boat cover by TM Covers. Exceeded all expectations, and the quality of the job is magnificent. The boat cover suggested, designed, and custom-made by the friendly staff has solved many issues for me in that my gear will be safe from prying eyes, extreme weather, heavy rain, and dust out on the road. Being an outdoor guy, who likes to remain anonymous and out of sight, it was advantageous that TM Covers had an extensive selection of waterproof materials to choose from, and best of all some neutral colours that blend with the environment. The ducks will never know what hit them!”

“The cover arrived today, I’m very impressed with the quality of the workmanship. Can you thank your fabricator for his or her excellent work and thank you for the great communication and getting the cover to us so quickly. Again thank you.”

Hemi, Wanaka

“I finally have a decent peg basket thanks to TM Covers – easily clips on and off the clothes line, is really durable, and allows the water to drain out when it rains. Really well made and good quality. Thanks.”

Shelley – Nelson

“I am restoring a vintage landrover and needed some repairs done to the vintage canvas canopy. Two other canvas specialists in Nelson said they were not interested due to the complexity of the job. TM covers were however very happy to undertake the repairs and the completed work quality exceeded my expectations. The team are very user friendly, understood what was required and I thought the price was very reasonable. I thoroughly recommend TM covers!”

“I’ve just had blinds installed by TM Covers. The job has just been completed and I couldn’t be happier. The screen’s quality is second to none, and a huge thanks to the team, especially the installation team. So professional and pleasant to have around. I have no hesitation in recommending the product, process and result. Many thanks to all involved.”
