Adrian Czopek

Founder at PRO Environmental Services

Read Adrian's Bio

Adrian spent a lifetime working in construction and asbestos removal before starting PRO Environmental Services in 2021.

Adrian Czopek comes from a family of builders and construction workers, and grew up helping out with his grandfather’s business during weekends and school holidays. He spent time as a roofer, decorator, and architectural metalwork paint sprayer before learning about the asbestos industry and settling into a niche that would become his life’s work.

It took time and dedication to upskill and become an asbestos removal site supervisor and run his own projects, before working his way up to be a contracts manager and running his own business.

After a move to New Zealand and several more years of experience, Adrian started PRO Environmental Services in early 2021. The company now provides home asbestos removal, commercial asbestos removal, environmental cleaning, mould removal, demolition work, and more.

Adrian spends his days creating quotes, talking to clients, offering advice, working on business development, and ensuring the health and safety of clients and employees. He loves meeting clients and savours the occasional opportunity to pick up his tools and work with his team on site when his schedule allows.

In his spare time, Adrian loves getting active. He goes swimming, plays soccer, and enjoys winter sports, but his favourite hobby is his lifelong passion for kyokushin, a form of karate he practices with his daughter.

July Tangata

Project Supervisor & H&S Support

Read July's Bio

When July Tangata was ready for a career change following an injury, he had his sights set on something in the construction industry. He got in touch with Vince, and the rest is history. July has been an integral part of the team since the early days of PRO Environmental Services, and has been instrumental in helping us grow as we have become a much larger, busier company.

His workload includes overseeing a team, liaising with management, updating clients and assessors, and ensuring every client is satisfied with our work. He loves seeing the team complete Class B asbestos removal jobs, and training newer staff to help them upskill.

When not at work, July loves fishing, spending time with his partner and dogs, camping, and travel.

Warana Ormsby

Project Supervisor & Operations Support

Read Warana's Bio

Warana Ormsby has been with PRO Environmental Services since the early days, where he quickly adapted to the work and learned new skills.

Most days, Warana is on the tools. He’s there for setting up at a site, asbestos removal, cleaning tasks, team supervision, operations support, and managing the paperwork. He has also been working closely with management to step into a leadership position within the company and run the operations.

One of the best parts of the job, according to Warana, is the ability to show up to work and do something different every day. There are always new sites and projects to work on, and he loves tackling each task with the close-knit PRO Environmental Services team.

When he’s not at work, Warana enjoys a variety of hobbies, from rugby and basketball to martial arts, V8 engines, the gym, and spending time with friends and family.
