About Ant & Estelle Williams

Early in 2001, Ant’s family cattle ranch in Zimbabwe was invaded. After 18 tough months it was clear there could be no winners and it was time for a new chapter.

On to Johannesburg, where he entered his first formal job, joining Centurion Systems – a world leader in gate automation. Here he served for 18 years, originally in engineering roles and later on, in varied managerial roles.

In 2019, Ant & Estelle, with four teens in tow, upped sticks and migrated – lock, stock & barrel – to Christchurch NZ, where Ant was extremely fortunate to have a job waiting for him, as branch manager for Aero NZ – none other than supplying and supporting the same renowned Centurion gate automation technology here in NZ, and where he has been very happy for just under 5 years.

But – at last, after all these years, Ant is returning somewhat to his roots in the farming world, carving out a brand-new opportunity.

He is excited to be using the latest, greatest Drone technology to bring chemical application services to farmers of all scales of operation – honestly, efficiently, accurately and safely.

Estelle is the lovely behind-the-scenes wife, partner and all-round champion, and being an accountant, she will make sure all the i’s are dotted and t’s crossed for DroneDraft Ltd.
