Meet Andy
From Building Sites to Beard Care
Hey, I’m Andy - founder of BEARDED. and an ex-builder from the Kapiti Coast. After 18 years on the tools, I was ready for a change… and honestly, I just couldn’t find decent beard care in NZ.
As a proud beard grower myself, I knew the struggle - cheap overseas gear, limited options, and nothing that truly hit the mark. So when I spotted a small online store for sale, importing a few international brands, I saw a real opportunity to step in and do better for Kiwi blokes.
Fast forward a few years and BEARDED. isn’t just a store - it’s a brand, a community, and a mission. We’ve created our own line of top-shelf, New Zealand made grooming products, and we’re shipping them out daily to legends around the country who actually care about what goes on (and into) their beard.

MEET BEN
FROM BEERSIES TO BEARDS
Hey, I’m Ben - a long time aficionado of the facial fuzz and now a proud Beardsman for the BEARDED. crew.
After over two decades in the FMCG game selling fizz and beersies, I decided to change things up and join the BEARDED. team. Why? To help spread the gospel of face follicle awareness, champion this outstanding brand, and deliver some top-shelf banter along the way.
As someone who’s been a committed moustache-wearer and has flip-flopped between full beard and greying stubble, I know how important it is to use quality products — for growth, health, and making sure you look the business (and not like a Yeti who’s been through a sandstorm).

WE're on a mission
To be New Zealand’s most trusted beard care brand
We want to lead the charge in men’s grooming - creating products with integrity, building a loyal community, and proving that beard care can be simple, smart, and proudly Kiwi-made.
