In the late 1930s, Fissenden Contracting began in Clarence, with Cyril Fissenden leading a small fleet of bulldozers and trucks. In 1961, his sons John, Graham, and Peter took over, forming Fissenden Bros Ltd. Over the years, they completed notable projects such as the Picton Ferry terminal, Portage Resort road, Havelock Marina, and Picton Freezing works. 1976 they moved their base to Kaikōura, focusing on local projects and the farming community. Today, John, his wife Jill, and son Mark run the business, specialising in earthworks and contracting and playing a significant role in the Kaikoura earthquake recovery.
