New Zealand Forwarding – Mark Newman
A challenging economic climate saw the New
Zealand forwarding business finish just 4%
ahead of last year in profits.
The result, although hard earned, is below the
level of growth we expect of ourselves.
Your branch managers presented the team’s
profit pledges for the coming year in March.
These ambitious numbers will only be achieved
through committed sales efforts, flawless
operations and outstanding customer service.
Please do your bit to make them happen.
The last few weeks have heralded the start of
winter, rain and roadworks conspiring to take
the glow off our usually outstanding image.
Please do not let these factors become excuses
to let our trucks, forkhoists, buildings, uniforms
and equipment be less than pristine every day.
Daily Freight Christchurch New
Building
The Daily Freight Christchurch team have
managed good quality and profits from a
terminal that provides immense challenges in
the wind and rain of winter.
We are about to embark on building a new
depot for them adjacent to Mainfreight on
McAlpine Street.
The fabulous facility features a 6500m2
enclosed dock. The dock is rail-serviced and
also provides for the unique requirements of the
Chem team.
We expect to move in early in 2008.
