Josh Holdaway - Setting up a Wire Jenny and Tying off: Blackmore Fencing

Introducing Josh Holdaway: Blackmore Fencing is a locally owned, family-run fencing business with more than 25 years of experience across residential, rural and viticulture projects throughout Marlborough. Owned by Glenn Blackmore, the company works across homes, farms and vineyards, building fences that are practical, durable and fit for purpose.

The focus at Blackmore Fencing is simple - build fences that do the job and last. Every property is different, so fencing is designed and constructed to suit the site, the terrain and the job it needs to do - whether that’s stock control, boundary fencing, vineyard infrastructure or general property and home protection. Experience working across varied landscapes means challenges are identified early and handled efficiently on site.

Blackmore Fencing places a strong emphasis on getting the work done properly the first time. Materials are selected for longevity, and installation is carried out with attention to structure and alignment, ensuring fences remain secure and functional over time. “We get how tough Marlborough’s climate can be when you’re building your fence. But we pride ourselves in building a range of fences built to last in all conditions,” Glenn said. Clear communication and a practical approach help keep projects running smoothly from start to finish.

As a family business, Blackmore Fencing works closely with clients and within the local community. Time is taken to understand requirements before work begins, resulting in fencing solutions that meet both practical and budget expectations.

The team behind Blackmore Fencing brings hands-on experience and consistency to every job. One of those team members is Josh Holdaway, who shows us how he carries out fencing on the field.
