Founder and CEO of Rainworks - Laurie Dee, is still recognised by many New Zealanders from the days when his name was a household word on television entertainment shows.
Prior to television, Laurie had studied agriculture and had gained a trade certificate in engineering. The Auckland water crisis of 1994/95 prompted him to start developing tools and accessories that would help city folk capture and conserve rainwater.
Laurie Dee`s talent as an inventor is well documented in two books: “Kiwi Ingenuity” by Bob Riley and “Inventions from the Shed” by Jim Hopkins. Virtually all of the products he has developed have received critical acclaim. His Hedgehog gutter filter has won awards in New Zealand, Australia and the United States of America. The Australian Hardware Journal going so far as to name it – “Best New Hardware Product of the Year”
As you look through this website you will quickly appreciate why the Hedgehog brand is so highly regarded for its innovative, yet simple, solutions to cleaning and protecting gutteres as well as diverting and screening rainwater.
After years of international recognition and sales success it is hardly surprising that we are now starting to see “lookalikes” entering the market. To help consumers identify genuine Hedgehog gutter filters and to safeguard the integrity of the Hedgehog brand we recommend you visit our Consumer Guide webpage.
Thanks for stopping by, and once again welcome to the Hedgehog website.
