About Irwin Motors

Blair and Robin Irwin

Irwin Motors and Hire & Go Winton have been locally owned and operated by Blair and Robin Irwin since 2005. 

Blair started working at Winton Motorcycles after school when he was 15 years old. Once he left school, he qualified as a Motorcycle Engineer and worked for them for eight years. After leaving Winton Motorcylces, he earned his Automotive Certificate at McKay Motors and was the Manager there for two years.

Hire & Go started with a horse float and a salvage trailer and continues to expand every year.

Robin handles all the books and lends a hand in the retail shop when it gets busy. She also likes a competitive game of squash.

Blair and Robin have two children and they enjoy taking 4WD trips, boating and heading to Te Anau for a bit of rest and relaxation.
