Huntsman & Co
Realising how hard it can be to find good quality products for men without the tacky cliché, we decided to bring together as many amazing brands as possible into one place. Making it easier to hunt out the perfect item for every Guy, Lad and Gentleman.
After a few drinks at our favourite local while scribbling down name ideas, Huntsman & Co was born. Huntsman stemming from the idea of needing to "Hunt" out products that are suitable because the gift industry is so dominated by feminine products it often over shadows all of the wicked items available for men. The " & Co " is added to include some massive long term goals down the track - stay tuned.
It's also a heartfelt nod of appreciation to my Dad - Kent, he's no longer with us but his love of an outdoorsy adventure lives on through our branding and ethos. We hope we can continue on his legacy in spirit and do him proud using all of the traits and knowledge he's taught us over the years.
We endeavour to hunt out unique brands, and provide a platform to showcase all of their epic products. While supporting new and upcoming brands alongside your favourites.

Growing up on a farm, I developed a deep appreciation for hard work and the value of every experience. My journey took me from packing spices in an Italian grocer to making soups and salads in a café, working in a candle store/factory, assisting at wedding functions, and helping in an eclectic gallery, while I was studying Fashion.
After moving to Perth, I was lucky enough to be embraced by a wonderful gift store before landing a dreamy gig as cabin crew for Air New Zealand’s long-haul flights. Though covid cut my time in the skies short, I was warmly welcomed into a glorious baby store, where I continue to grow and connect with an amazing community.
Now, as a proud mum too little Ivy, I’m embracing a new chapter of life filled with love, learning, and gratitude. Every experience, from the farm to motherhood, has shaped who I am today, and I cherish every moment.
Every experience and skill I have learnt along the way goes into Huntsman&Co , this isn't just a passion project its a true dream with massive goals for the future!

Hailing from Tokoroa, New Zealand. I grew up with a love for the ocean, learning to dive in the magnificent waters of NZ. As a teenager, I was a bit of a “ratbag”, with a love for fast cars and bikes, but I soon started my career path building printing presses. When we moved to Perth, I moved on to welding naval boats. Over time, I transitioned into FIFO work, where my dedication and hard work have always been at the forefront of what I do.
I’m the unofficial official Huntsman and Co. product approver, everything must meet my fine eye for detail and strong opinion for whats cool or not. We also bounce ideas around a team of mates to gauge different opinions, so that we are hunting out good cross section of products that suit all personalities.
Outside of work, I love to unwind with a bit of gaming, spend time with my French Bulldog, and get outdoors whenever I can. Life’s about balancing hard work with the simple joys, and I’m all about making the most of both.
